    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jan 27, 2015
     | 11,444 views

    If you want to lay hold of God’s willingness in prayer, just keep on asking God to keep His Word, counting on Him to work in unusual and unstoppable ways.

    Mark Ashton, in his book, A Voice in the Wilderness, talks about a small boy who was writing a letter to God. Christmas was approaching and he wanted to ask God for certain Christmas presents he badly wanted. He began his letter with these words: “I've been good for six months now.” ...read more

    There was once a small town which had no liquor stores. Eventually, though, someone built a nightclub right on the main street through town. This so upset the members in one of the churches that they conducted several all-night prayer meetings. They asked the Lord to “burn down that den of ...read more

    The fact that no one has done it, doesn’t mean it cannot be done.

    It takes me back almost 2.5 years ago when we planted the church in Manila. We were anxious. We did it because we believed that this was God’s direction. Yet, we didn’t quite know what to expect. It is a big step out of our comfort zone. But, as a Church, we pushed some walls down. The fact that no ...read more

    We may be the most orthodox in belief; we may be the most inspirational in our music, but with out prayer we have no power.

    The House of Prayer Introduction: Jim Cymballa, pastor of Brooklyn Tabernacle, told his small congregation that “if they called upon the Lord, He had promised in His word to answer, to bring the unsaved to Himself, and to pour out His Spirit among them. If they did not call upon the Lord, He had ...read more

    If We Are Going To See The Church Multiply

     | 6,637 views

    If we are going to see the church multiply we must never be lacking in zeal, we must be joyful in hope, and we must not be overcome by evil. The church in America has gotten complacent and lazy, so have we! We must be diligent if we are to improve.

    If We Are Going To See The Church Multiply Romans 12:1-21 Read Rom. 12:1-21 INTRO: Ever since the first of this month when Mike and I went to Dallas, TX for the Right Now Conference I have been convicted.

    Often churches are not united because people kill the vision God has for the church, this sermon shows what kills a vision.

    UNITED WE FLY (ALL my sermons use illustrations from www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) This church is about people reaching people. If a young person gets saved then they will reach 19% of their family. If a woman gets saved she will reach 32% of her family. ...read more

    We can be complacent or strive toward quality work, for excellence.

    Sloths are mammals who move only when necessary and even then very slowly. They’re known to dig their curved claws into a tree branch and hang without effort for hours-on-end; they are as unmotivated as they look! Sloth Sloth is something we make jokes about, but few think of it as sin. ...read more

    The vital place of prayer in spiritual warfare.

    READ: Ephesians 6:10-20 (Text: v18) Ephesians chapters 4-6 are all about “Spiritual Warfare”. It seems unfortunate to me that these days, because of the influence of popular books and seminars on the subject of “Spiritual Warfare”, the term has become loaded with a fairly narrow meaning. I know ...read more

    The Gift Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 928 views

    Persecution is the flip side of peace-making. If we live out the first 7 beatitudes, this one, the 8th, follows on their heels as surely as water flows downhill.

    About 35 years ago, a Romanian pastor came to visit the church I belonged to, a nice white church in a rich western suburb of Minneapolis. He had gotten to know my pastor, who had been involved in a Bible-smuggling ministry when the Iron Curtain was still up. Pasor John asked him what he thought ...read more
