    Are You Positioned For Revival?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 1, 2020
     | 7,240 views

    The lame man, like many Christians today, didn't get his miracle in the agitated waters, because he didn't position himself close enough to the revival zone. If you want revival, you must get and stay as close as possible to the Holy Spirit.

    ARE YOU POSITIONED FOR REVIVAL? John 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A professor gathered the papers after an exam and found a $100 bill attached to one of them with a note saying: "Dear Professor Smith, here’s a $100 bill which you may keep if you give me 100 points - a dollar per ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 15,995 views

    Keeping religious rules and observing religious rituals in order to be close to God are only a shadow of the "real thing," a relationship with Him through Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION In the time of the early church, there were people in the churches who were teaching that once you became a Christian, you still had to obey the Jewish regulations and rituals to be religiously correct. That kind of false teaching still exists in the 21st century. In this series I’m ...read more

    Prayer Changes Lives

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,919 views

    Intercession for the lost does not guarantee salvation but it opens tremendous doors for those that we intercede for and the Lord is calling us to faithfully pray and follow that up with our testimony of love.

    Last week we looked at the foundational parts of having a close encounter with God. (Close Encounters with God) We saw how God wants to meet with us every day and that face to face encounter begins with our welcoming him. Then we worship him. We pour out our hearts to him. And finally we ...read more

    Is all that religious stuff necessary? The foolish found out, as you will, when the rapture takes place and when you find the door shut in your face.

    THE WISE AND THE FOOLISH Matt 25:1-13 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with ...read more

    Breakin’ Aachan

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 6, 2025
     | 79 views

    The story of Achan reminds us that hidden sin always breaks trust, breaks community, and breaks us — but in Christ, even the Valley of Trouble can become a Door of Hope.

    Introduction: This morning, the message is called “Breakin’ Aachan.” Yeah, you heard me right. Because what we’re about to look at is a man who broke trust with God, broke covenant with his people, and in the end… it broke him. But the good news is this: God doesn’t just leave us in the Valley ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,517 views

    Judas’ betrayal of Jesus serves as a wake-up call of how close we can come to God’s kingdom and still be lost.

    How Could Anyone Betray His Best Friend? John 13:2, 18-30; Luke 22:1-6, 21-23, 47-48 INTRO. From Walter Wangerin, The Book of God, pp. 765-767.

    The God we serve is a God of speed, not delays. When He steps into your situation, time is compressed, and progress is accelerated beyond human explanation.

    Even if man flees God seeking us and so that Jesus, even if He has to walk on water...

    In Bible we see that it is not man who seeks God but God comes seeking man. God came to the garden seeking when Adam & Eve sinned and were hiding (Gen. 3:9). Men may seek god but they also flee from him. “Jesus said to them it is I don’t be afraid” (John 6:20). There is a ...read more

    based on 61 ratings
     | 6,196 views

    To see Jesus for who He really is opens the door to eternal possibilities. But that revelation also requires a response to either reject Him or serve Him as Lord of all.

    Responding to the Real Jesus Fortifying the Foundations #2 John 1:1-18 3-9-03 Intro: John 1:1-18 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. ...read more

     | 7,977 views

    When the time runs out in the life of an individual, “coming close” to the kingdom of God leads to far more than disappointment...it ends in eternal separation from God.

    “NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD” "Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?" Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: ’Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, ...read more
