    The Deal Breaker

    Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Sep 1, 2015
     | 3,647 views

    Easter Sermon - The resurrection of Jesus, or the lack of it, is a deal breaker when it comes to accepting the authority of Jesus

    If you’re in the market – for anything – there’s a list of conditions called “deal breakers.” Everything else might be right, but if one of those conditions is present, forget it. If it’s a house, it might be something like pet odors, or a bad location, ...read more

    What is coming and how much of it will you be here for? Is there a way to not be here for it? There is. But you must be counted worthy.

    We live in very sobering times. We are in the end part of the end times, wondering when the antichrist will appear. Already the spirit of antichrist is prevalent in the world.

     | 7,191 views

    How is church relevant? Take Jesus to church. Confront Evil. Claim the Power of Jesus to transform. The authority and power of Jesus amazed everyone in the synagogue of Capernaum, and it makes church relevant today.

    GOING TO CHURCH WITH JESUS—Mark 1:21-28 We live in a time of declining church attendance. One reason is busyness; Sunday mornings are consumed with youth sports, catching up on the laundry or the lawn, or just chilling out after a busy week. Another reason might be that going to church is not as ...read more

    Jesus' name is so powerful that it breaks down every barrier of the enemy. We are to trust in His name above any other name.

    Looking at the word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit. We find that there is no other name mentioned that has power other than the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus in the mouth of all the prophets, disciples and even in the life of ordinary people brought outstanding results into their ...read more

    A perspective on Luke 7: 1-10. The text is primarily dealing with the theme of discipleship that is, how to live a good live according to Jesus. The centurion is a clear example of such a life; he is like a fruitful tree within his community.

     | 22,581 views

    This message explains why we do not have blessings or joy in our lives and how we go about getting those blessings from God. To do so, we use the passage found in PSALM 1:1-6 as our main authority.

    My father used to tell us boys that everyone has someone who is in authority over them. He said that every soldier has a sergeant; every worker has a foreman; and then with a wink, he would add, “And every husband has a wife.” And even though he was joking when he said that, he ...read more

    Much of this message has remained as Dave McFadden wrote it. Thanks for the awesome message.Many say how much they want to see revival happen in our community. But do they really?

    Jesus had been teaching in and around Capernaum for several weeks, using Capernaum as His “base of operation,” if you will. As a result of His ministry, the entire city of Capernaum was transformed by the power of Christ… Many say how much they want to see revival happen in our ...read more
