    The Defiance Of The Queen Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 2, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,745 views

    Queen Vashti was expected to behave in a way contrary to conscience and she refused the king's command. Her refusal was the right decision to make, but it cost her dearly. Living upright will not always gain one the favor of the world.

    The Defiance of the Queen Esther 1: 10-22 As we consider our text today, we must do so in light of the preceding verses. King Ahasuerus had thrown a six month long party, culminating with a seven day finale. He had provided an elaborate escapade for all the princes and servants within the ...read more

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2021
     | 2,464 views

    Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Matthew 5: 38-42 As we continue our study in the Sermon on the Mount, we come to a passage that we all have heard a portion of quoted many times in our lives: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. This is often quoted in anger, or in a desire to repay a wrong ...read more

    An encouragement to stay maintain your relationship with God despite the inevitable struggles (storms) that come your way. Your only guarantee or safe arrival is to abide in the ship knowing that God is faithful to keep His promises.

    Stay on Board Acts 27 True Story: In the early 1990s in the community of Britonville, St. Ann a truck was transporting some persons along a main road and was now heading up a hill.

    There seems to be a critical shortage of power in the lives of people regarding Christ’s great commission. When we read about terrorists threats around the world, many seem to grow hesitant to be involved with missions. However, the Lord Jesus said, "You

    Ending Your Power Shortage (Acts 1:8) Right before Jesus acended into heaven He gave us a promise: "But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, enablement and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the ...read more

     | 44,891 views

    That is why a Thanksgiving message like this is so important. We need this reminder. We need it because it forces us to "add it all up" & recognize where all these things we enjoy actually come from.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Philippians 4:12-13; 1 Corinthians 4:7 ILL. An elderly lady was well-known for her faith, & for her boldness in talking about it. Each morning she would go out on her front porch ...read more

    We need another drink of that New Wine of the Holy Ghost. We need the wind of the Spirit and the fire of the Holy Ghost, with a fresh anointing from Heaven if we are going to truly be effective for the Kingdom of God.

    HAVE ANOTHER DRINK By Pastor Jim May Acts 2:1-13, "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 53,349 views

    Where do the storms that we face come from? What causes the rough seas and howling winds to blow through our lives? Why are we so fearful, so afraid when they come?

    Billy Graham once said. “The storm was raging. The sea was beating against the rocks in huge, dashing waves. The lightning was flashing, the thunder was roaring, the wind was blowing; but the little bird was sound asleep in the crevice of the rock, its head tucked serenely under its wing. ...read more

    This is a lesson about attitudes to problems using Gideon and several illustrations. Consider the renewal of our minds... Your focus? Your perspective, pessimism, optimism, and realism. Caterpillars crawl in mud before they fly with the wind.

    Whisper Of God

     | 1,995 views

    Listen to this, if you do not have the grit and determination to withstand the great, strong wind and still wait to hear God, then you would never get to have the breathtaking experience of hearing the Messiah speak.

    Gentle whisper 1 King 19:12” After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

     | 979 views

    In a season of depression the man of God finds a cave on the mountain side. In his hurt and pain he searches for a touch of God. God was not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire. Elijah found God in a still small voice.

    On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came down as a mighty rushing wind, and tongues like fire rested upon each of the disciples. This fire was not physical—it was spiritual, but its effects were powerful and undeniable.

    The wind always blows around us. The mighty storm comes sooner or later. We have no choice or control over when the storm comes, so how do we keep our focus?

Just as in various aspects of our daily activities, focus plays a critical role in our faith. Without focus, our ...read more
