    If you have ever felt like you are alone in this world, if you ever struggle to sense God’s presence, my prayer is that you will be encouraged by God’s Word.

    Supernatural Stream of God’s Presence If i am honest, even as a Pentecostal Minister, who loves and serves Jesus with my whole heart, sometimes I can question whether or not God is near. It’s usually struggles or chaos that seem to hide His presence in my life. But just because i ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Dietz on Mar 19, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,940 views

    This sermon is inspired by the movie beginning on March 20, 2015 by the same title. It uses Thomas and the story of his "doubting" in his faith-believing following Jesus' resurrection. It leaves us with the question, "Do you believe?"

    In 2012, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life conducted a survey including White, Black and Hispanic Catholic, Protestant and Non-Denominational Christians. In this survey was the following statement, “I never doubt the existence of God.” Survey results are as follows: 80% ...read more

    Almost everybody can quote Jesus' statement: "Judge not". But are they quoting Him properly? Is there something in His words that say more than most people think?

    His Triumphal Entry

    Contributed by Shawn Miller on Mar 30, 2015
     | 8,145 views

    This passage in Luke 19 reads like a book of three chapters - The sacrifice of a colt, The praise of a crowd, and The weeping of Christ. Each point can be used as a sermon in itself.

    His Triumphal Entry Scripture: Luke 19:28-44 Introduction: A little boy was sick on Palm Sunday and stayed home from church with his mother. His father returned from church holding a palm branch. The little boy was curious and asked, "Why do you have that palm branch, dad?" "You see, when ...read more

    Divine opportunities pass us by when we are not watchful, when we are not alert. Wrong decisions are taken when we are not watchful, when we are not discerning. The church strays from her mission and God ordained purpose when we are not watchful.

    Introduction During Jesus’ last days on earth something worthy of attention happened at the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:36 tells us that Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane. Then He told them to sit down at a particular spot while He goes to pray. Jesus then ...read more

    The thing about church is quite often people do not sacrifice much at all for it and then they get frustrated thinking it is the pastor or somebody’s fault when something is lacking or the problems appear but the reality they may be the problem!

    In Acts 5 are 3 attitudes about Jesus and the preaching of the cross. One is satanic & one SEEMS reasonable & sensible, but is really a product of human wisdom & leads to error. Only one is biblical & blessed by God. Part 1 deals with the first 2.

    I would like to set before you some biblical principles and practical implications of marriage, divorce, and remarriage.

    Scripture Luke 16 primarily deals with the topic of possessions. However, in the middle of chapter 16 Jesus made a statement about divorce and remarriage as an illustration of the ongoing applicability of the moral law of God. I mentioned last time that I would like to take the opportunity to ...read more
