     | 210 views

    When human design collapses, God’s blueprint restores; the Divine Draftsman rebuilds lives and cultures through grace, purpose, and renewed imagination.

    (Finding the Blueprint Again) --- 1. The Great Design Problem We live in a world obsessed with building things—apps, ideologies, identities, futures. Every headline feels like a pitch deck: Here’s how to fix the world. Our confidence is architectural; we assume that with enough data, diversity, ...read more

    Wind, Fire, And Word

     | 204 views

    At Pentecost, God shattered every barrier—proving His Spirit speaks every language, loves every culture, and saves all who call.

    Introduction — The Music of Words Language. That simple word carries a universe inside it. Gustave Flaubert once wrote that language is “a cracked pot on which we beat out a tune for bears to dance, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.” What a contradiction—clumsy and celestial ...read more

    "What is the anointing of the Spirit of God? What does it mean to be anointed?" Is it necessary to be anointed by the Spirit of God in the Post Modern Culture such as today?

    I want to trace back briefly into history of the practise of anointing and then come to its relevance for us today. The origin of ‘anointing’ was from a practice of shepherds. Lice and other insects would often get into the wool of sheep, and when they got near the sheep's head, they could ...read more

    We live in a culture obsessed with wealth, success, and achievement. Yet, God’s Word calls us to something far greater—something eternal.

    Go! And Live Wisely: The Treasure of Wisdom, the Freedom of Confession, and the Overflow of Grace Introduction: What Do You Value Most?

    Even in the midst of national judgement, the follower of Christ the Lord is comforted by the hope Christ gives.

    “This hurts me more than it hurts you.” Are those words familiar to you? Do they bring back memories from your childhood?

    Can You Be Threatened?

     | 10,300 views

    Many in the Body of Christ are living in compromise. They are allowing the world to dictate what they will and will not believe about the Bible. How does this happen? Peter and John's confrontation with the religious leaders in Acts 4 shows us how.

    I was thinking about Bro. Alain’s message this morning and what saddens me so much is how much of the Body of Christ is living in compromise and we don’t even realize it. And I thought about a Republican senator here in Ohio who came out strong and hard against homosexuality. He came out strong and ...read more

    God’s wisdom gives peace but the churches to which James wrote were experiencing chronic hostility & sharp confrontations. They fought, coveted, quarreled & condemned others to obtain their desires. They were dominated by self-will

    JAMES 4: 1-5 THE PASSION OF SELF-GRATIFICATION [Romans 7:14-25] Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy wrote of a man who was dominated by the driving desire for self-gratification. To possess land was his highest pleasure. Someone promised him that he could own all of the land he could walk around ...read more

    What is faith? We see faith worked out in what we call heros of the Old Testament - but they, like us, were stretched and confronted with problems as they learned to trust God.

    Last time we began chapter 11 of Hebrews - the great chapter on faith. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. We learned that faith is believing that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He promised He will do - even though ...read more
