The Written Word Of God Versus Fresh Revelation

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 16, 2019

There are those who believe that the 66 books of the Bible are not enough, so they continuously look for fresh revelation through private prophetic words, dreams, or visions for a more meaningful personal experiential relationship with God.

I consistently hear from those who want to justify that experiential special/fresh revelation supersedes what is written in the Bible because the “books” of the New Testament were not compiled until after 324 AD. Therefore, because the Disciples in the first century had to rely on hearing the ...read more

The Great Betrayal

Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 5, 2018

Judas first stole a few shekels and then made some more wrong choices until he was pulled deeper and deeper into depravity. Be careful about minimizing your sins because they may lead you to something even darker and more destructive.

The month of February reminds me of my candidating weekend at Edgewood five years ago when you were checking me out and I was checking you out to see how God might be leading each of us. I think I preached at least five times, attended a number of groups and met with a ton of people. I still ...read more

Doors: Open Or Closed

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 24, 2017

The majority of the body of Christ believes that God opens doors (a "yes" answer to prayer) and closes doors (a "no" answer to prayer) in their lives. Does scripture support such a belief?

The message today is one that I believe is going to challenge traditional thinking in the Body of Christ. How many of you have heard the following statements and, perhaps, even said them? ? When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more
