    I would like for you to look with me in this message at this the first name of ISAIAH 9:6, and let us see if He is worthy of this name.

    TITLE: HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED….. SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 9:6 I am not sure about you, but I was growing tired and weary over the past 9-months hearing about Prince William and the Duchess, Kate as they waited the arrival of their first child. Maybe it is because our cultures are so different ...read more

    Wake-Up Call

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 1, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,295 views

    Every believer has three enemies - the world system, the flesh, and the Devil. If we don't wake-up, heed and act on Biblical warnings, we will not only be spent but also taken down. God's truth is the best protection against Satan's lies.

    Opening illustration: As we moved to our new home in the Middle-East after the government transferred Maureena and me to a previous location in the mountains, we never expected the place to be hiding scorpions which would show up regularly in our bathrooms and poisonous snakes that would appear in ...read more

    It Ain't Easter, Preacher Series

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 8, 2013
     | 3,867 views

    Every time a believer comes to faith in Jesus Christ, it points back to the first Easter almost 2000 years ago. We celebrate that Jesus is risen from the dead. God, the angels, and we rejoice when a former unbeliever rises from the dead to life in Christ.

    It Ain't Easter, Preacher John 20:1-10 First preached in November, 2004 Introduction Last week we learned about how Jesus fulfilled the Scriptures even in death. He gave up His life voluntarily at 3PM, at the exact hour the Passover Lambs started to be slain. The lambs had to be completely ...read more

    Don't crow about yourself or the Telltale Rooster will crow on you.

    The Telltale Rooster John 18:13-27 Introduction Last week we saw how Jesus was in total control of even His arrest. Not only does the Scripture clearly show that Jesus knew that Judas had gone out to betray him and could have simply gone somewhere than the garden, but John 18:6, where all of the ...read more

     | 5,952 views

    There is no other name in heaven or on earth that is more loved, more revered or more controversial than Jesus. This three-part sermon series answers the question, "Who is Jesus?" by examining three descriptions of Jesus given in Revelation.

    Jesus Revealed: Part 1 Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 2/10/2012 Jesus. There is no other name in heaven or on earth that is more loved, more revered or more controversial than Jesus. At first glance, Jesus’ résumé is rather simple.

    Freedom from sin

    TO BE FREE (JOHN 8:31-47) On the Easter weekend of 2013 I joined a fellowship group to visit prisoners and was given a timely lesson and insight on the lack or worse, the absence, of freedom. It took an hour just to get into the facilities because of security. We were screened and most of our ...read more

    The Power Of God Series

     | 15,062 views

    Can you describe how powerful God is? This sermon examines the scriptures and God's creation to see how He has shown His great power to us.

    In this lesson, I will be talking about the subject of the power of God. But there is an issue that we run into when we talk about this and pretty much every attribute of God: “How can a little finite mortal describe the power of our Creator? It is impossible to do it adequately, for God is ...read more

    Who Is The Holy Spirit? Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 14, 2013
     | 7,560 views

    There are many different views in the religious world about who/what the Holy Spirit is. Some believe the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force while others believe He is a personal being and God. What do the scriptures say?

    These lessons on the Holy Spirit of God are meant to just “whet your appetite.” I am attempting to condense a good bit of what we see mentioned about the Holy Spirit into 4 lessons. This series could very easily be expanded into 15-20 lessons, if not more. I pray that these lessons will ...read more

    Meanwhile...

     | 7,128 views

    Meanwhile, as we live in between what was and what will be, we live good and peaceful lives.

    Despite the increasingly chaotic global landscape and a growing sense of doom and even an impending apocalypse… I suspect relatively few are associating an apocalypse with the Second Coming of Christ. Few are living prepared for that event which II Peter 3:10 says will be like a thief coming ...read more

    Jacob's trials in Haran teach us the Lord sends trials into our lives to test our commitment and to refine us to me more like Jesus.

    I have had the privilege to disciple many new believers. I’ve seen and heard many testimonies of new believers, some were private and some were public at times such as baptisms and public testimony. The ones that concern me the most, the ones that I fear will not make it in their walk with ...read more
