    Jesus Christ has become our eternal High Priest. And I think there are three things that these verses tell us about our High Priest that should come as an encouragement to us.

    From the time of the fall of Adam man has needed a mediator… someone who would span the gap that now separated him from God. Man is sinful. God is holy. And because of His holiness God will have no fellowship or connection with sin. Before the fall God and man had close fellowship with each ...read more

    Because of our idenification with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection, we can know, grow and show.

    The Freedom You’ve Always Wanted Romans 6:1-7 Rev. Brian Bill www.pontiacbible.org 5/20/07 I came across an article this week called “The Fruit of the Word” that was unsettling and yet it resonated with me (www.breakpoint.org).

    Are you watchful, attentive and careful with the words you speak to others? In this message, we will learn from the life of Jacob on how to improve our Christian character for the better to be a good testimony to others.

    BEING WATCHFUL Text: Genesis 31:24 (NIV) "Then God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.” Do you know that many times, we are not aware of the destructive and harmful words that we say to people ...read more

    At some point of life, we had to ask ourselves the questions: Where am I going and what do I need to do in life? In this message, we will look at the life of Jacob and how he curved a successful destiny.

    THE MAN AND HIS DESTINY Text: Genesis 32:1-2 " Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God!” So he named that place Mahanaim." Genesis 32:1-8 New International Version (NIV) Jacob also went on his way, and the ...read more

    Raise Your Hands And Pray Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on May 17, 2015
     | 17,368 views

    There is a strong relationship between prayer and God's power over the church and our nation. When we raise our hands in prayer to God, the enemy is defeated. When we lower our hands, we allow the enemy to win the battle. The people of God must pray.

    RAISE YOUR HANDS UP AND PRAY Text: Exodus 17:8-16 (NIV) " 8 The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.” 10 ...read more

    Some men have read into the second coming texts, distinctions that show the difference between the rapture and what they call the "revelation." The Bible knows no such distinctions.

    6. SUPPOSED DISTINCTIONS It is disappointing to read the works of men that are normally trustworthy in their treatment of Scripture, when it comes to their promotion of a pre-tribulation rapture. Consider our brother Dave Hunt, no lightweight in the Word. Over and over his publications define ...read more

    Building God's people requires both dependent praying and deliberate planning

    Our mission as a church is to develop mature disciples who follow, serve and proclaim Jesus as Messiah. And since that mission statement was developed based on a careful consideration of the Scriptures, it ought to be something that we all agree on. But when it comes to how to actually accomplish ...read more

    How to remain faithful to God for the long haul.

    In some ways I wish that the book of Nehemiah had ended with chapter 12. There we saw the prepared, participating, purified passionate praise of the people that permeated their culture. No doubt that was one of those mountaintop experiences that we find throughout the Scriptures. On the other ...read more
