    I beleive we need the gift of prohecy above all others in these times, for worshiping in spirit and trurth, for building the church up, fro bringing the holy fire to burn away the dross and to unleash rivers of living waters to our dying nations too peopl

    So what is a prophet? To many people the term prophets conjures up a vision of an weathered haggard person with a more than slightly, no very wild look in their eyes. Someone who is weird sitting at the back of the church with a crazy look? Even perhaps an old lady sitting in a with a crystal ...read more

    The Weakness Of God

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on May 27, 2009
    based on 19 ratings
     | 8,608 views

    The current church seems so obsessed with the power of God. What kind of power is it? Is it after all a power that comes from weakness?

    It has been my habit for many years to read through the Bible each year. As I continue this practice I am increasingly amazed at how absurd God’s plan for the world and his kingdom is — that is, in human terms. God seems to delight in abuse and rejection, for he receives plenty of it. He seems, ...read more

    Receiving The Word Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 29, 2008
    based on 65 ratings
     | 26,619 views

    Jesus is addressing those who think they believe, who think they follow God. They had the notion that they were children of God, but had never yielded to Him the depth of allegiance that is at the core of real belief. It is a dangerous spiritual state.

    JOHN 8: 37-47 RECEIVING THE WORD [OF GOD] [James 1:19-26] Jesus here is continuing to addresses those who think they believe, who think they follow God. They had the notion that they were children of God, but had never yielded to ...read more

    So which is greater, the Law or the Promise? How are we saved by one and not the other?

    Introduction: A. There is a story about a student at Cambridge University who entered the classroom on exam day and asked the proctor to bring him cakes and ale. 1.

    Conducting Healthy Relationships

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,167 views

    Maybe they call it a relationship because it can seem like we're on a ship. Sometimes the seas are nice and calm and sometimes they are stormy. And sometimes it can go from calm to stormy in a matter of moments. We need to learn how to navigate.

    When Peter Got Hungry

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 5, 2015
     | 9,213 views

    God went to great lengths to bring together Cornelius and Peter. On this meeting hinged the salvation of all the world. With the “keys” of his Apostolic ministry, Peter opened the gates, not realizing that billions of people would enter.

    WHEN PETER GOT HUNGRY Acts 10:1-48 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Things are going badly for Israel. The economy is in a tail spin, inflation is getting higher and immigrants are flooding in from all over. Problems, problems, problems, but what to do? 2.

     | 5,542 views

    2,000 years ago everyone was watching the Roman empire, but the most important event happened in a stable in the little town of Bethlehem. A baby was born and the birth was so important the birth announcement was sent 700 years earlier.

    So I am reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy right now. When you undertake some task as crazy as reading War and Peace, you have to work it into conversations as often as you can. Anyway, War and Peace is set during the Napoleonic wars from about 1803-1815. The book really makes the point that ...read more

     | 7,266 views

    "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." What does the plurality of heavens refer to, and what do the heavens' utterances say about God's glory? 

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms.

     | 5,935 views

    Because Israel persisted in disobedience, God decided to allow the nations to remain in the land as the means to chastise His people, and to test Israel and to train succeeding generations for war.

    Chapter 11 Enemy Is Left as a Test [Judges 2.20–3.4] Scripture 20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; 21 I also will not henceforth ...read more

    Beelzeboul, "the lord of the flies" is contaminating this world with his filth. It is a name for Satan who has infiltrated the whole world system. This message stems from a blowfly - read this and see how the blowfly did that.

    Oaths Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 19, 2022
     | 3,122 views

    Jesus now says that His disciples should not take an oath at all. They should not swear by anything. The main reason is that a person known for integrity does not need to enhance their promises

    SERMON ON THE MOUNT (OATHS) 33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.' 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is ...read more

    What do you picture when you picture God: A heavenly tyrant and scrupulous bookkeeper? "Every idea and assumption, says Trevor Hudson, must be measured against the person of Jesus."

    Last Sunday I asked you to mentally or physically draw a picture of what you think God looks like. It may have sounded silly or trite, but I was very, very serious. As preacher, author, and lecturer Trevor Hudson so powerfully and succinctly put it: “In each of our hearts and minds there is ...read more
