    Visible Faith Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 205 views

    This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The Bible studies teach foundational truth that are designed to challenge, encourage and, most importantly, flame the fire of hunger in the Christian who wants to learn more about who they have become in Christ Jesus.

    Visible Faith – 2 (Rev. Rodney Johnson and Rev. Barry Johnson) NOTE: New Light Faith Ministries and Barry Johnson Ministries, founded by Rodney V. Johnson and Barry O. Johnson, respectively, are partnering to offer Bible studies for Christians who are seeking to grow in their relationship with ...read more

     | 411 views

    Servanthood Evangelism is motivated by love. Servanthood evangelism is a combination of simple acts of kindness followed by intentional personal evangelism. It’s where you practice acts of kindness with the intention of sharing the gospel.

    This morning, I want to convince you, who are believers, to serve your unchurched friends with the intention of sharing the gospel with them. I want to see you make an impact on those closest to you through a simple campaign we are doing called Prayer, Care, Share. Find John 13 with me, if you ...read more

    Preventing A Spiritual Firestorm Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 28, 2024
     | 478 views

    How much devastation and destruction has been wrought because believer's think nothing of listening passively to slanderous accusations against their spiritual leaders? The Apostle Paul was a victim of this as well.

    Paradise, California. Lahaina, Hawaii. What comes to mind when I mention those two towns? What do they have in common? Yes, wildfire devastation. Firestorms that destroyed nearly the whole towns. I think most of us remember the terrifying and incredibly speedy devastation that each of these ...read more

    Murder At The Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025
     | 142 views

    The first murder at the altar exposes the danger of unsurrendered worship, but Jesus’ blood speaks mercy, transforming Cain-like hearts through grace.

    There is a sentence that sounds almost unbelievable the first time you hear it. A sentence we tend to rush past because it feels too severe, too intrusive, too revealing. But when you slow down long enough to take it seriously, it begins to open a doorway into the human heart… and into the ...read more

    What God Wants Isn’t What You Think

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 4, 2025
     | 107 views

    Faith is not belief alone but a heart returning to and reaching for Jesus—seeking relationship, surrender, and wholeness in His presence.

    There are moments in Scripture so brief, so quiet, so easily passed over, that we almost miss the entire weight of Heaven behind them. Luke 17 records one of those moments—an encounter tucked into a journey, a miracle overshadowed by a greater truth, a healing overshadowed by a deeper kind of ...read more

    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 109 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    Jesus' Fifth Sign Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Oct 14, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,087 views

    The fifth sign in John 6:1-15, 22-71 teaches us that Jesus is the bread of life who is sovereign over the gift of eternal life.

    Introduction The Apostle John wrote The Gospel According to John. Jesus had done thousands of miracles. John selected just seven of these miracles, which he called “signs,” to help his readers “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing [they] may have life in his ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,707 views

    The power of God seemed to have had two purposes. The first was power for personal transformation, power to become sons of God and secondly, power to assist in kingdom building through effective witness to the entire world.

    Sermon - The Impact of A Church With Pentecostal Power! Scripture: Acts 3:1-11 Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 88 views

    In a divided world, Christ—not agreement or control—holds the church together as peace, creating unity without uniformity through grace, love.

    Two old men were sitting outside a seniors’ home enjoying the sunshine. One turned to the other and said, “Slim, I’m 83 years old and I’m just full of aches and pains. You’re about my age. How do you feel?” Slim said, “I feel just like a newborn baby.” “Really? Like a newborn baby?” “Yep. No ...read more

    An exploration of possible reasons why Jesus’ disciples must leave everything and follow Him – eliminating all but the fact that His call makes sense when we realize that He gave up everything for us.
