    The Gospel is able to penetrate in all seasons, if we are willing to share it. This is what Acts teaches us, those around Saul demonstrate, now it’s our time. It is our time to react in a way that shows people Jesus, not ourselves!

    It’s the first big test of God’s promises for Joshua, and now there’s this big obstacle in front of him. Can we face the barriers in our lives with the same faith he faced Jericho with?

    #15 - the final lesson in the Tabernacle in the Wilderness series. We began in the presence of God at the Ark; lost the power to go into God’s presence through sin; but now Jesus has torn down the last barrier and opened the Way. Praise God!

    When The Walls Come Tumblin' Down

    Jesus anger wasn’t about selling things; it was about the evil vendors preying upon the innocent. When barriers go up relationship is broken.

    John 2:13-22 When the Tables Come Tumbling Down I would hazard a guess that when most of us think of Jesus, we picture the soft spoken, peace loving, gentle as a lamb, Savior. Always smiling, always patient, always kind. There is no doubt that Christ had a side of Him ...read more

    Today in our passage of Scripture the Apostle Paul is going to point out to us several stages that have marked man’s futile search for love and meaning. And it’s my hope as we examine this text that we’ll discover how we can avoid these stages so that we

    What Happens When We Don't Believe?

    Unbelief is very stubborn. In fact, there are some who will simply not believe in Jesus, no matter what evidence is offered.

    Read entire chapter 11. What you believe about Jesus determines what you do with him. Two shopkeepers were bitter rivals. Their stores were directly across the street from each other, and they would spend each day keeping track of each other’s business. If one got a customer, he would smile in ...read more

    A couple of weeks ago I talked about the command to go and make disciples. Then last Sunday I talked about sharing the right gospel message. Today, I'll be talking about some practical things we can do and what we're up against as we contend for the faith.

    CONTEND FOR THE FAITH 1) Contend for the faith. Jude 1:3, "Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints." To contend means to put yourself ...read more

    Demolishing Mental Stronghold

    Contributed by Benjamin Suulola on Jul 11, 2025
     | 297 views

    Many people are suffering from what has been identified as a global mental health issue. The cause was attributed to psychological issues, but there is more. The real issue is much more spiritual.

    It is time to demolish the devil's stronghold in our minds. The Scriptures refer to fortified places as strongholds. In my opinion, an enemy's stronghold is the place where they feel most powerful in a person's life. The most common stronghold where Satan continues to gain security ...read more

    Jericho To Jerusalem

    Contributed by Brian Williams on May 2, 2025
     | 537 views

    We all are sinners in need of God’s mercy. Jesus is the only way to salvation. By God’s grace we are embracing His transformational work of salvation in our lives, and God is breaking down obstacles that keep us and others from coming to Him.

    Today we will be looking at Luke chapter 19, to see what Jesus was focused on in the last weeks of His life on earth. We know Jesus was in Jericho enroute to Jerusalem. Back in Luke 9:51, we read, “When the days drew near for [Jesus] to be taken up, He set his face to go to Jerusalem.” On the ...read more

    Attribute Seven | A Man Produces Growth Series

    He will never selfishly devour resources, but rather understands that resources flow from Christ through him. Therefore, he perceives himself to be a conduit of resources and does everything he can to remain connected to these resources through obedience.

    Well as promised, we’re just navigating our way through the 9 Attributes of a Man of God. Today we are on the topic of deliberately producing growth in our life. Attribute number 7.
