"It's Time For A Change"

Contributed by Ray Scott on Mar 7, 2006

Heart Transplant

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 21, 2010

God works in our lives much as a surgeon does in our bodies: cleansing thoroughly of old idolatries, assisting us in the transition, and then giving us a new indwelling presence, that of Christ.

I remember the corny old song that says, "They've gone just about as fur as they can go." And it seemed just about right, too, at one time. They've gone just about as fur as they can go, when airplanes were invented and we could soar as on eagle's wings. They've gone just about as fur as they can ...read more

Lord Send The Fire

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015

Without the proper intake of water, your body will suffer greatly. The same can be said of your spiritual life if you don’t have a proper intake of righteousness.

We’re in a series focusing on the (8) attitudes Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount we’re to have as His disciples. We are learning that each of these attitudes determines our altitude. Jesus offered these beatitudes to remind us that God isn’t focused on man’s outward ...read more

Fallen Angels Have No Rest

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Jan 24, 2016

To show that fallen angels have no rest because they are no longer permitted in GOD's Presence and when they are there, they are tormented instead of resting, now it's on the hunt to possess physical bodies for their rest.

I. EXORDIUM: Are you able to find rest? Psalms 62:1 (New International Version) My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. II. AUDIENCE PROFILE: Believers/unbelievers III.

The Wounds Of Jesus

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 10, 2018

The wounds of Jesus were very visible after the Resurrection of His body but not always. Why didn't the disciples always recognise the risen Jesus? Was He different in some way?

The Wounds of Jesus – Luke 24:40 There is a statue of the Risen Christ called the Majestus in Llandaff Cathedral a sculpture by Epstein, in South Wales UK and it predominates the nave of the cathedral but can by familiarity be unnoticed. But if you take notice and look at the detail – Christ is ...read more

Demoniac Healed On The Sabbath Day Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 7, 2017

Demon activity was rampant in the Roman Empire, at this time. They operate in the spirit realm and they function by controlling the bodies of the people they invade. But God is in control in the spiritual realm, and He can control demons.

Book Of Titus Part 3 (Lessons On Titus Series) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 19, 2018

Jude longed to share the joys of salvation, which was the dominant theme uniting all of the Christian community, but an insidious cancer developing within the body of the believers threatened to destroy their peace and unity.

Peace is the serenity and confidence that come from reliance on God’s word and from looking above circumstances to the One who overrules all circumstances for the accomplishment of His own purposes. This is that same peace “beyond anything we can imagine” (Philippians 4:7). We can have no true and ...read more

Doors: Open Or Closed

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 24, 2017

The majority of the body of Christ believes that God opens doors (a "yes" answer to prayer) and closes doors (a "no" answer to prayer) in their lives. Does scripture support such a belief?

The message today is one that I believe is going to challenge traditional thinking in the Body of Christ. How many of you have heard the following statements and, perhaps, even said them? ? When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 29, 2025

This sermon explains that the only logical response to God's mercy is a life of true worship, expressed through the daily surrender of our bodies and the radical transformation of our minds.

Introduction: The Great "Therefore" Good morning to you, church. In the book of Romans, the first eleven chapters are like a majestic and soaring symphony. Paul lays out the grand story of God's redemption—the depth of our sin, the hopelessness of our condition, and the sheer, ...read more
