    The Spirit Of Prayer

    Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Jul 30, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 15,275 views

    A sermon that highlights four things that suppress, subdue, quench, or limit the Spirit of Prayer that dwells in believers.

    Introduction In Zechariah 12:10, the prophet Zechariah prophesied that a spirit of prayer and supplication would be poured out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. We can deduce from this scripture that there is a Spirit of Prayer. When we look at Romans 8:26-27, we understand ...read more

    Glory In The Lord

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 3, 2025
     | 593 views

    So boast if you will. Boast that the Lord has made you holy and righteous. Boast that He has made you wise for salvation. Boast not only in words, but boast also as you live your life in a way that reflects thankfulness in your heart. And give the Lord glory.

    Alba 2-2-2025 GLORY IN THE LORD I Corinthians 1:26-31 In 2008, there was a movie released called “Four Christmases”.

    The Two-Man Lift

    Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 841 views

    When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

    The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more

    The Parable Of Two Sons And The Authority Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jul 26, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,060 views

    Many talk about Jesus or celebrate Jesus, and they like to believe that it assures them of a spot in Heaven. What did Jesus say about this?

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org As we continue through the parables, I realize that this is one of those parables that has always confounded me. It confounds me not because of the application but because of the theology. Most tried to impose ...read more

    A Mother's Request

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 12, 2025
     | 359 views

    Today, we are going to look at the mother of James and John, those two who were in the inner circle among the followers of Jesus. Their mother was a mom and like any other mom. She was looking after the best interest of her children. All she really wanted was for her kids to do good.

    Alba 5-11-2025 A MOTHER'S REQUEST Matthew 20:20-28 A little boy was talking with the girl next door. “I wonder what my mom would like for Mother’s Day.” The girl answered, “Well, you could promise to keep your room clean and orderly.

    The Birth Of Jesus The Savior

    Contributed by Jaeyoun Chang on Dec 21, 2025
     | 122 views

    Of all births, there is none greater than the birth of Jesus Christ. This is because the birth of Christ was not the birth of an ordinary human being, but the Son of God becoming a human being and coming to this world.

    Introduction When a baby is born, everyone is excited. No matter how great a person is, he or she starts off as a newborn. However, despite these expectations, almost everyone lives an ordinary life and then dies. Throughout human history, countless young lives have been born. History can be said ...read more

    I believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I use a glass filled with water. Then I take the full glass and submerged in a bucket of water. The glass is not only full but completely surrounded by water. I liken this unto the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

    Sermon # 31 - The Purpose Of The Church Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 26, 2025
     | 645 views

    The Parable of the Good Samaritan is familiar to all of us. However, if we study this from a deeper spiritual angle, we will understand God’s greater plan for us as individuals who believe in Him and His purpose for the church at large.

    As we continue our study on the church, for today’s meditation we will study this portion of scripture found in the Gospel of Luke chapter 10. We read in Luke 10:30-35, “To answer this question, Jesus said, “A man was going down the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Some robbers surrounded him, tore ...read more

    Sermon # 31 - Worship God Alone & Honor Your Parents Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 16, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,640 views

    We are commanded to worship God alone giving Him the top priority in our lives, and also to honor our parents, if we want God’s blessings to be showered on us. Let’s choose to obey God’s word so we don’t miss out on His blessings

    We are studying in detail about blessings and curses to fathom all that the word of God has to convey about this. There are so many who are held down by several curses that overrule their lives thereby not being able to experience the true blessings that God has envisioned for them. As we delve ...read more

     | 4,860 views

    A hard-hitting message about Jesus coming that will bring people to the altars. God has told us what will happen in the future and warned us to be ready for His coming. Those who aren't ready will be left to face the Tribulation period.

    WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT THE FUTURE I Part 1: The Rapture INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: “COMFORTABLE” 1. Two sisters inherited the family farm. They desperately needed a bull to breed with their heifers and they only had $600. 2. The brunette told her sister, "I’m going to go look at a bull-calf in ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Prodigal Son) # 8

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,626 views

    Introduction: There is an old saying that we sometime quote as true, but we need to be careful quoting it, because it only contains part of the truth.

    The quote is, "You can always tell a man by the company he keeps." Can you? Always? No, this is not always the truth. For example, Jesus kept company with many that society had rejected. (1) HE KEPT COMPANY WITH LEPERS Now in first-century Palestine, lepers were viewed with horror ...read more

    We serve the Lord faithfully, always looking up to the God who leads us, trusting Christ who alone saves, and relying on the Holy Spirit to transform lives.

    2 Cor 2:12-3:6 KEEPING THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE IN MINISTRY Paul arrives at Macedonia from Troas, not in the best of spirits, saying “his spirit was not at rest.” (13) • He was troubled by the painful letter he has written to the church in Corinth, and now awaiting for Titus to return with an ...read more
