    1. “I am made right with God” (vs 10) Romans 8:10 And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. ? I want to speak to those of us who may be faltering or doubting in their faith ...read more

    Bewitched By Naturalism!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 14, 2019
     | 4,221 views

    The Galatians, like the American church, were misled by the belief they could live as Christians through natural means; that being a Christian was something THEY could do in their own power! Paul protested that it was impossible!

    BEWITCHED BY NATURALISM! Gal. 3:1-3 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about a high school teacher named Mark Jordan who was pulled over by the police for speeding right in front of the High School where he works. 2. The police officer came to his window and asked him for his driver’s license ...read more

    There are those today, both outside, and unfortunately, inside the church, that are functioning like computer viruses. Through false teaching and unbiblical belief they are destroying the church.

    TELLING TRUTH FROM A LIE Text: 1 John 2:18-27 Introduction 1. Illustration: I remember hearing about computer viruses. Could a computer catch a germ?

    Fill Your Horn With Oil & Go!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 3, 2018
     | 21,212 views

    The oil is often the missing ingredient in spiritual ministry. We can’t be on the cutting edge of the Spirit without filling our horns with oil. The oil is symbolic of the anointing, unction, power, presence of the Spirit.

    FILL YOUR HORN WITH OIL & GO! 1 Sam. 16:1 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Mr. and Mrs. Brown had two sons. One was named Mind Your Own Business & the other was named Trouble. 2. One day the two boys decided to play hide and seek. Trouble hid while Mind Your Own Business counted to one hundred. ...read more

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 8, 2018
     | 5,606 views

    Looking to Acts 2 to learn from the example of the early church what a church looks like that is headed in the right direction.

    As we started this series on the kind of church I want to be part of, we said that we aren’t talking about finding the right church as much as we’re talking about what needs to be true of us to see our church head the right direction. While it’s impossible to find a church of perfection, we can be ...read more

    Do you really want Revival, if you do know it can be messy. This sermon is about The River Of God and about what we must do to be swept away by it.

    THE RIVER: Ezekiel 47:1-12 What if I told you that God possesses a body of water that He wants you to get into? What if I told you that He wants you to get over your head in this body of water?

    El EspÍritu Santo

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Apr 22, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,502 views

    La importancia del papel del Espíritu Santo se destaca como una herramienta empírica adicional y vital. El empirismo limitado a la percepción a través de la vista, el oído, el olfato, el gusto y el tacto no alcanza las oportunidades epistemológicas que Dios nos brinda.

    No debe malinterpretarse que los cristianos creen en tres dioses. Dios es uno. El Padre Creador, el Hijo Redentor y el Espíritu Santo Consejero son tres manifestaciones de la misma esencia, tres formas que Dios ha elegido para permitirnos conocer y experimentar a Dios, cada uno con funciones y ...read more

    The Wizard of Oz advice was to look inside yourself to find yourself. That never works. God says: Look inside yourself and you will find the Holy Spirit. The first will get you to Kansas. The latter will get you to heaven. (Max Lucado) Pentecost changed lives then and now.
