Prayers To Kill Affliction

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jun 7, 2006

The more the power of God in your life, the more the enemies that will battle you. The greater the anointing, the greater the warfare. The brighter your destiny, the harsher your attackers.

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” One of the enemy’s works is affliction.

Today I will be preaching on the parable of THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR found in the book of Luke.

The gospel of Luke is the only book that carries this passage of scripture that some think is a parable.

The 2nd Thief Series

Both thieves on the cross insulted Jesus... to begin with. Why did the 2nd thief refuse to accept the love and promises of Christ? What drove him to curse Jesus even as he was dying?

When the police arrest a suspect – what’s the first thing they are required by law to do? That’s right - “read him his rights”.

The Goodness Of God

Contributed by Mark Baker on Jan 2, 2009

Ask any Christian if they believe that God is good and they would certainly say, well of course. But believing that He is good is not the only requirement in pleasing Him. The Word says, we must also believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Rewarder - "one who pays wages" (misthos, "wages," apo, "back," didomi, "to give"), is used by metonymy in Heb. 11:6, of ...read more

The Center That Holds

Contributed by Scott Carmer on Apr 24, 2005

We don’t follow God for a promise of easy life, but simply because God is TRUTH and nothing in life or death can separate us from God’s love.

The Center that Holds Luke 5:17-26 April 24, 2005 I always try my best to preach out of my own experience, but as I approached today’s sermon, I realized that I was having trouble doing that.

The Wilderness Way

Contributed by Larry Grant on Apr 29, 2023

A philosopher once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” What if we not only remember our history but also learn from it, and begin to change our minds and actions today, so that our tomorrow will not mirror our yesterday?

Exodus 13:17-18 (NKJV) the Way - the War - the Wilderness April 30, 2023 I have observed a parallel, a congruency between the Jewish Hebrew Slave and the American Black Slave and I have come this morning with a few questions that deserve an answer.
