    The Pathway Of Adam Vs. The Pathway Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 14, 2024
     | 745 views

    I was walking in the pathway of Adam, the pathway of rebellion against God. And it was leading toward disaster. Not only that, the entire world system was built around the pathway of Adam. So it naturally drew me in.

    There was a pathway I was on for many years. It was a pathway with many bright lights and beautiful things. So much technology and media, so many songs, and movies and events, giant arenas and commercials and billions of dollars in industry. I walked that path day by day, it was at times ...read more

    Giving To God: A Revival Is Waiting  

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 20, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,284 views

    We often pray and desire for revival to happen. But are we going about it in the right way? Do we know what is holding it back? Is there something practical that God says we’re not doing? There is something that God specifically points to saying, “Return to Me, and I will return to you.”

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 24, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,020 views

    This message covers the first six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 1).” The words of Jesus seen in our passage today are called “The Beatitudes,” and this does not mean “beautiful attitudes,” even though this phrase might have catchy ring. “The Beatitudes are blessed sayings.”(1) “The ...read more

    To conclude this study of the Beatitudes, the text in Matthew 5:3-10 is used as a TEMPLATE for prayer. Praying Scripture is a powerful way to apply truths to our own lives and reinforce our understanding of the passage.

    PRAYING SCRIPTURE To complete our study of the Beatitudes, we will now use this portion of Scripture as a template for prayer. Learning to pray Scripture will strengthen your prayer life significantly. Some of you may have already learned to use the Lord’s Prayer in this way. That is the most ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 6, 2023
    based on 1 rating

    The good news in the text is, “There is no limit to what God can do in us and through us if we allow His Spirit to freely work in us.” God can make us what we ought to be if we allow his power work in us.

    Subject: “Allowing God's Power to Work In Us” Text: Ephesians 3:14-21 “When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.

    The Ethiopian Eunuch Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 7, 2023
     | 5,067 views

    There is no doubt that the Ethiopian Eunuch had the joy of salvation and he would be sharing to the ends of the earth what he learned from the prophet of Isaiah and what he experienced in his new life in Christ.

    The Ethiopian Eunuch Acts 8:26-40 The story of the Ethiopian Eunuch is a pivotal passage for many reasons. One of those reasons is that it is considered the fulfilment of Acts 1:8. At the coming of the Holy Spirit the gospel would go to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. ...read more

    Acts 2:14-41 shows us that the gospel that Peter preached is still the gospel for today.

    Introduction First sermons are either memorable or forgettable. My first sermon was forgettable. My pastor in Cape Town knew that I was headed to seminary to prepare for pastoral ministry.
