    Signed, Sealed And Delivered (All Saints Day 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jan 3, 2023
     | 1,222 views

    There is No Census role in Heaven, only the Lamb's Book of Life. None of us will go to heaven’s pearly gates and golden streets until we have completed the work that God gave us to do. God signs us, seals us and delivers us.

    SIGNED, SEALED and DELIVERED Text: Revelation 7:9-17 9 After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their ...read more

    The Narrow Road

     | 8,035 views

    Many Christians are on the "wide road" because they don't know the requirements of Jesus. There's a Narrow Gate/ entrance in the form of a Cross. We must get rid of all our old baggage. This message starts with a short drama. Powerful!

    THE NARROW ROAD Mt. 7:13-14; Lk. 13:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: CALL FROM ALMIGHTY GOD 1. A pastor was working late on Saturday night at the Almighty God Tabernacle. Around 10:00 PM he decided to call his wife before he started for home; she didn't answer. Later he figured out he’d dialed the ...read more

     | 1,341 views

    God knows how to open the door of opportunity to us to do his work. And though there are many that oppose his work, none can impede it. Even the gates of hell cannot prevail against it! I Cor 16:9, "For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries."

    In his letter to the Corinthians from Ephesus, Paul expresses his desire to reunite with the Corinthian converts and spend significant time with them. However, he acknowledges that he must wait until God completes His work in Ephesus, where a great and effective opportunity has been opened for him. ...read more

    Cults Series

    Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 5, 2022
     | 3,202 views

    Cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage. Unless an individual pays close attention to what a valid version of the Bible says and means, it is easy for a person to be led down the devil's primrose path.

    Cults Right now, as you read the title of this essay, you may be saying to yourself, “Well, I would never fall for that stuff.” Beware, cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage.

    Today, I would like to take you back to biblical times and examine closely how God blesses those who seek HIM and why it is crucial for us in our modern day to seek him too.

    Gatekeeper, Gateopener

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 19, 2000
    based on 77 ratings
     | 12,180 views

    The pastor has two roles that must not be reduced -- a gatekeeper to guard against useless ideas and hateful attitudes, and a gateopener to let in God's surprises.

    Do you think the Lord has a sense of humor? I do. I see a delicious little coincidence that God’s word drops in our laps today. Some of us remember a 70’s TV program, the Mary Tyler Moore show. If you remember that program, you will recall that sweet, nice, loveable Mary lived in an apartment ...read more

    I can hear these words of Jesus ring through every gathering of his people. There is always a chance that someone will begin to walk in the shoes of Judas unless we stay close to Jesus.

    ONE OF YOU SHALL BETRAY ME by Pastor James May Matthew 26:20-23, "Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, ...read more

    When we study the mothering side of God, we discover a God who yearns for intimacy with us. This Holy One longs to be close to his people as a mother longs to be with her child.

    Mother Hunger Isaiah 66:7-13 Last week we looked at God as our Father, and for everyone here that’s not a very hard concept to get your head around. We have heard it, read it, and even sung it. While we are comfortable with talking about God as a father, many of us may break out in a sweat at the ...read more
