    A Joyful Heart Is Good Medicine

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Aug 31, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,093 views

    Our emotions cause us to sweat, to weep, to tremble. Our emotions cause us to turn white with fear, red with embarrassment, purple with anger, & green with nausea. Our emotions really do effect us physically.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: Proverbs 17:22; John 16:33; Matthew 14:27 ILL. This past week I came across an interesting story ...read more

    2nd in series of 7 on the transformation Simon went through under the guidance of Jesus. This message is on the second critical step of surrendering of his heart to Jesus.

    Last week we began to look at and understand the process of transformation that Jesus cultivated in a strong healthy fisherman named Simon. Simon was a business owner. He ran a fishing enterprise on the Lake called Gennesaret, the Sea of Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee are three names used for ...read more

    The lost responded and those of His people that recognized His favor led them into the Kingdom. The rest sit on the side lines to watch the show or criticize it.

    The Coming Harvest The Great Commission and the harvest scriptures are some of the greatest examples of our goal as the Body of Christ to reach the World for God. Christians almost always try to reach the lost thinking like a Christian or from a Christian perspective ...read more

    We are responsible to maintain our focus on Him Whom we call "Lord." At no time has this become more critical than during the Christmas Season.

    “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and ...read more

    (PowerPoint Slides and Cell Study Notes freely available by emailing Emile@Wolfaardt.com) Discussing why the Resurrection is so critical to our faith.

    He is Risen Luke 24:1-12 This morning I want to talk with you about the greatest event in all of history - the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

    Trusting God with opposition frees us from control and revenge, inviting us to pray honestly and rest in His faithful care amid conflict and criticism.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of prickly people and pricklier problems. A stray comment stings. A coworker corners you with criticism. The group text lights up with misunderstandings, and your heart feels like a drumline—pounding, pounding, pounding. Have you ever replayed a conversation until your ...read more

    "Advent I: A Time To Watch And Prepare”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 23, 2021
     | 2,832 views

    "Are you ready for Christmas? A crazy question when you haven’t even finished the Turkey and pumpkin pie. If dire warnings about a “supply chain” problem has caused worry, and fear, then why have the words of Jesus “Watch! Be Ready!” not caused the same concern?

    In Jesus Holy Name November 28, 2021 Text: Luke 21:25-27 Advent I Redeemer “Advent: A Time to Watch and Prepare” Today, is the first Sunday in Advent. Here’s the question: "Are you ready for Christmas? I know it is probably a crazy question when you haven’t even ...read more

    Standing In The Gap

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 19, 2022
     | 1,709 views

    We are living in a period of extraordinary assaults by Satan. It is critical that we maintain prayers for our leaders, and it is fundamental for the leaders to take accountability to assist them with keeping their spiritual and moral integrity.

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would come to Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would be approached (22· 17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). Those actions and sins that occurred back then seem very similar to what is happening in society today (James 3:1). We are living in a ...read more

    Jealousy causes us to live life in fear, anger and pride - Christ calls us to live in peace, confidance, and humilty.

    Discerning Whether That "Open Door" Is From God

    based on 19 ratings
     | 7,265 views

    This message looks at situations where we take something to be God’s hand when often there are other causes at work.

    Life Principle: Every “open door” doesn’t have God’s hand on the handle. - If you listen to testimonies, you’ll hear plenty of stories of “coincidences” that were divinely orchestrated. Someone just happens to be at the store at the right moment to share a witness. Someone just happens to ...read more

    What would cause someone to visit a church and leave saying "Nothing to see here." thus planning never to return?

    Sunday, Sept 16th is National Back to Church Sunday. On this Sunday I would encourage you to make an effort to invite someone to attend with you. Last week we discovered why people do not go to church. We found some rather startling statistics. I would like to remind you of these facts once ...read more

    What Is The Mistake That Leads Toward The Unforgiveable Sin?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 5, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,659 views

    A look at the unforgiveable sin. I think the distinction that I share about why criticism of Jesus is acceptable but of the Holy Spirit is not will be helpful in getting to the heart of what Jesus is trying to convey.

    WHAT IS THE "UNFORGIVEABLE SIN" EXACTLY? It seems to be seeing consistently clear evidence of the Spirit’s movement and attributing it to Satan. - Luke 12:10. - The passage in Luke presents the shortest version of this saying in the gospels. The versions in Matthew 12:22-32 and Mark ...read more
