    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 4, 2017
     | 7,618 views

    As children, we're taught the rhyme "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me". This messages shows us that this is really a lie from the throne room of Satan.

    We’re going to begin in John 8:44. “Ye are of your father the devil...” When Jesus says “ye are of your father the devil” what’s telling the people is you have the same nature as your father, which is the sin nature. He not saying this because they are arguing with him. It’s not like he’s ...read more

    There was a great deal at stake in the desert. Had Jesus lost to Satan here, God’s whole plan to save humanity would have been destroyed.

    Today we conclude a series entitled, The Man Who Won’t Go Away. As we examine Luke 4, we see a telling snapshot of the temptation of Jesus. There is so much in this story that I want to get right to work. And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the ...read more

    Expanding Your Prayer Life Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 4, 2021
     | 7,424 views

    Sermon expounds exhortation in Eph. 6:18 to "pray with ALL KINDS of prayer." A key to expanding our prayer capacity is developing in a variety of modes of prayer. Many struggle with prayer because their prayer life is one-dimensional (primarily petition).

    Our text today is found in Ephesians 6. A couple of weeks ago we ministered on the armor of God presented in verses 10-17.i Paul begins by saying, “Finally, my brethren, [much of what Paul has said previously in this epistle is leading up to this exhortation.] be strong in the Lord and in the power ...read more

    Cage fighting is a particularly gruesome way of fighting, and yet Paul used the fighting of his day (more brutal than MMA) to describe Timothy's responsibilities. What could we possibly learn from MMA that could make us better servants of Christ?

    How many of you know the meaning of these letters used to describe a sporting event: MMA? (Mix Martial Arts). It’s kind of like boxing where the contestants not only hit each other with their fists, but also with their feet and knees and elbows. It’s also called “Cage ...read more

     | 11,720 views

    Message teaches the practical application of the metaphor of armor in Eph. 6:10-17. Christians are in a spiritual battle simply because they are Christians. In an increasingly antichristian culture this teaching becomes even more essential.

    The title of this message is: Stand Your Ground! There are times and season when the devil’s assaults against believers are more intense than at other times. Scripture not only tells us to be prepared for such times, but also tells us how to be prepared. That’s our subject today. I am an optimist. ...read more
