    Immediately after the defeat of the Egyptians at the Red Sea, came the bitter water of Marah. After a mountain-top experience, prepare for a valley attack. And the higher and glorious the mountain-top experience is, the deeper the valley. The more the po

    Inside each one of us is a fighter. Not a passive Christian soldier taking it upon the cheek at every turn, but a Christian soldier prepared and ready, supposed to be ready for battle—not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces.

    Well Witnessing, Part 3: The Pattern Of Response Series

     | 2,849 views

    When going into a new situation, it’s always good to be prepared for what’s going to happen ahead of time. In this passage, we see how people typically respond to the gospel in one-on-one evangelism.

    Pastor Jim’s blog: http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com As you know, we’ve been in this passage for three weeks now. There’s a reason for that. The reason is that I think this is one of the best passages on personal evangelism in the whole Bible. The Bible is filled with personal evangelism ...read more

    At times life can be difficult and even dark, as we prepare for Christmas and Jesus’ second coming we gain hope not by relying on this world but on Jesus. This Advent sermon explores what it means to be a hope receiver and a hope deliverer.

    As we begin the start of the church year, our first Sunday of Advent encourages us to look at being hopeful. This week I read a story about a lady called Susan Duggan. Susan Duggan is a lady with hope. Not because she’s had an easy life or she has received great rewards. Listen to part of her ...read more

    As we begin a new year, one with many opportunities of ministry, we must be prepared spiritually to recognized the doors opened by God as He invites us to be a part of His work. Growth is His business - Service is ours!

    Grow To Care, Care To Grow

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 11, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,705 views

    A church that wishes to grow must "get over" negatives about evangelism and must tell the truth about the human spiritual condition; must present a full diet of worship and study and preparation; and must be a source of radical community.

    We have a garden at our house. Or should I say, we had a garden. It was carefully planted, lovingly tended for a time, it was nurtured through the searing heat of July and watched over during the thundershowers of mid-August. But something happened to that garden, something awful and terrible, ...read more

    We must be prepared at all times and not allow evil to get into our lives. We need God’s truth, righteousness, gospel of peace, sword of the Spirit and salvation to fight off any evil that we encounter.

    Ephesians 6:10 – 18 reads, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the ...read more

    In this series I am attempting to answer questions our congregation submitted. This message speaks to the timing of the 2nd coming of Christ. Though we cannot know the date, we must help others get prepared.

    “Jesus When are you Coming Back?” Matthew 24: 3-14 I hear recently of an older woman was on an airplane and she happened to be seated right beside a young businessman. After the in-flight meal she took out her Bible and starts reading. The businessman glances at her and said. Do you ...read more

    The creation story is one of the most awesome story that we can study. In the business of our lives it is possible that we miss the presence of such an awesome God in our lives. Let us prepare ourselves for an awesome encounter with God.

    First of all, Let me wish you all a very happy and blessed new year ahead. Well: Here we are.

    Say this, “Preparation is the key.” An admirer of a famous person said, “So how did you become so successful?” The famous person replied, “About 40 years of training and staying committed.” ( Faithfulness and fruitfulness are synonymous.)

     | 7,038 views

    This sermon is from Exodus chapter 12 and is about the Passover, final preparation for the Exodus and the perfect sacrifice. Some of the ideas come from "Preach for a Year," by Roger Campbell and commentaries too numerous to mention. My thanks to all.

    Jesus went to heaven to prepare a place for us to go to when we go to our heavenly home. Going home fulfills the longing we have for God. Only God can fulfill the emptiness of our souls.

    “Let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I ...read more
