    Prostitute Wages

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 11, 2024
     | 729 views

    It may not be physical idols but when you forego prayer, Bible and close walk with God and give more importance to 'salary, promotion and making money' then God calls it prostitute wages.

    Hosea 9:1 "Do not rejoice, Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; you love the wages of a prostitute at every threshing floor." " You love the wages of a prostitute" are very strong words against believers who live a double ...read more

    Holy Ghost -- Who Is He?

    I wrote this message to share at the assisted living home a few days before Halloween. Because it was so close to Halloween I wrote the message about the one REAL Ghost, the Holy Ghost!

    Holy Ghost – Who is He? When Halloween comes people gather together to tell spooky stories to scare the young ones. Parents tell the kids stories about ghosts & goblins. The ghost is also a good last-minute Halloween costume. Mom takes a white bedsheet & cuts or draws holes in it for the ...read more

    Living A Life Attuned To God's Voice Series

    Contributed by Apostle Dr. Belinda V. Broadnax on Oct 24, 2024
     | 992 views

    This closing sermon emphasizes the importance of continuing to cultivate a life attuned to hearing and following God’s voice. It calls the congregation to embrace the journey of listening, trusting, and obeying God’s direction daily.

    We’ve spent weeks exploring what it means to hear God’s voice. We’ve discussed how tuning out the noise of the world, recognizing the Shepherd’s call, trusting His guidance, discerning between voices, obeying His commands, and walking in divine purpose are all key elements of hearing and following ...read more

    The Major Events At The Cross Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 27, 2024
     | 539 views

    John was an eyewitness of the crucifixion, and he closed his account of the crucifixion by saying “the man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true…that you also may believe.”

    The most significant event in history is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We are saved by His death. Because He died, we live. But there IS a condition. We have to believe, and it’s the necessity for belief that John stressed throughout his gospel. He was an eyewitness of the crucifixion, and ...read more

    Jesus said - "every bracnh in ME (this means Christians) that does not bear fruit He [the Father] takes away, and every branch that bears fruit He [the Father] prunes, today lets look more closely at this.

    BEARING GOOD FRUIT (John 15:1-10) INTRODUCTION Each fall I take my children to the apple orchard just down the road from my house.

    Philadelphia: The Church With The Open Door

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 9, 2020
     | 6,296 views

    Like Smyrna, the Lord offered only encouragement for Philadelphia, with no rebuke. They were a people of little strength, and yet they held great potential. Christ promised to open doors no man could close. He reminded them of His preeminence and the security of their future.

    Philadelphia – The Church with the Open Door Revelation 3: 7-13 Philadelphia is the sixth church addressed by Jesus. Like Smyrna, Jesus offered no rebuke, only encouragement for their faithfulness and endurance in the midst of opposition. Jesus knew they were a people of “little strength,” and yet ...read more

    Ruth goes out into the fields to glean, and winds up in the middle of God’s will by her humility and obedience. We can learn from Ruth’s example.

    Introduction I want to pick up with the though we ended with last time: Lastly, a prayer (paraphrased from Tommy Tenny in the “God Chasers” : Lord, break out of the box we try to put you in and destroy everything in our lives that is not of You. Mess up our schedules, plans, and ...read more

    The Parables Of Jesus: The Lost Sheep & The Lost Coin Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 15, 2022
     | 2,748 views

    Time and again in the New Testament we see Jesus sharing parables and stories related to shepherds and sheep. It’s very very common. From psalm 23, talking about the rod and staff of the shepherd, to Jesus calling himself “the gate for the sheep” it’s throughout the scriptures.

    “Dr. Andrew Bonar told me how, in the Highlands of Scotland, a sheep would often wander off into the rocks and get into places that they couldn't get out of. The grass on these mountains is very sweet and the sheep like it, and they will jump down ten or twelve feet, and then they can't ...read more

    1. Everyone says “Follow your heart”. But “The heart is deceitful above all things . . ." 2. we tend to be passionate about things we're good at, but getting good takes a lot of work 3. It's difficult to see the difference between passion and addiction

Today I’d like to present three problems, huge reasons that pursuing your passion as a path to ...read more
