    Jesus said "The Kingdom of God is at hand". What does that mean? To have a Kingdom you must have a King! This sermon shows Elijah, living in faith of that Kingdom, and in recognizing that trusting in the supernatural rather than the natural.

    THE ELIJAH CHURCH IS A KINGDOM REVEALING CHURCH INTRO: This is part of a series using the life of Elijah as a picture of the last day Church. It is also a stand alone sermon. 1 Kings 17:7-24 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the LORD ...read more

    Many when they start a study on the book of Revelation they like to skip the SEVEN CHURCHES OF REVELATION.

    Why? They get in a hurry wanting to read about the Anti-Christ, the Two witness and the 144 Jewish missionaries and etc. But in skipping the SEVEN CHURCHES of REVELATION they are missing out on some of the good teachings of Christ we learn from His live. Such as: We can see from the SEVEN ...read more

    The Deceived Church (Church Of Laodicea)

    Some good Bible teachers have spiritualized these letters to the seven churches and made each local congregation represent a particular era of church history.

    But I strongly disagree with some of these good Bible teachers that I have a high respect for and I will explain in a few minutes why I disagree. For example, according to their view… • The first church on the list is the Ephesian church would represent the time when the apostles were alive and ...read more

    There are divisions in the Church today as there were in the early Church and there is little or nothing that we can do to completely eliminate it but it might be managed to remove rancour and bitterness.

    Church Conflicts. TEXT: 1 Cor. 1:10-13. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared ...read more

    The fellowship of the church is critical for our growth. Fellowship is all about relationships, not activity. God is in the fellowship. It is about the meeting of needs.

    The moment we come to know Christ, we are connected. • We are members of God’s household. • Verse 21: “…the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.” • Verse 22 “you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” This ...read more
