    Transformation Possible: The Transformation Of Peter Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016
     | 14,801 views

    The Apostle Peter experienced many transformations during his life, but the most profound transformation was from failure to faith. This sermon reflects on Peter's denial of Christ in the courtyard.

    Let’s talk about transformation. Merrian-Webster defines transformation as “a complete or major change in someone's or something's appearance, form, etc.” Transformation is at the heart of our Christian faith, isn’t it? Don’t we believe that Jesus Christ came into ...read more

    Now I am not a chef, but I would imagine that if you were going to feed a group of chefs, you had better know something about cooking. Our Lord told Peter to, "feed My sheep.”

    In this particular passage of scripture, he is feeding the “Spiritual Chefs”, the ministers of the gospel. Notice that he speaks of: I. THE ELDER Verse 1. "The elders which are among you...” From this verse we see who he is addressing and where they are located: “Which are among you…” ...read more

    For the first Sunday after New Year's. What is our prayer to God for the new year? The early church prayed for boldness. What did they do to be so bold?

    As we start the new year, what is our prayer to God for the new year? Do we prayer that God smite our enemies? Do we pray that God will convert the masses? Do we pray for our health and welfare? What should be our prayer be for the New Year? I picked out this one verse for today’s message several ...read more

    The Purpose Of Prayer

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 7, 2014
     | 6,456 views

    We are to pray so that we might commune with God and share with Him the most deeply felt needs of our lives. We are to express to God the gratitude and the praise and the joy we feel in Him and in salvation. Paul elaborated on the purpose of prayer.

    Title: The Purpose of Prayer Text: “Meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.” (Colossians 1:3-4). Bible Reading: Colossians ...read more

    Samson was a man with absolute power who was absolutely blinded by his pride in his power. How can we avoid falling into the same trap that took him down?

    When my dad sold his business and retired, he got bored just sitting around – so he went to work as a meat inspector for the government. They gave him a white coat and helmet and special knife, and his job was to go to meat plants (like Tyson or Indiana Packers) and inspect the meat as it was ...read more

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The Third - The Mustard Seed - Part 3 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025
     | 179 views

    We have seen how the parable of the mustard seed matches to church at Pergamum, and in this study today we look into that letter John wrote. In that church God wanted overcomers. We’ll consider the Nicolaitans, the hidden manna, the white stone with the new name.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE THIRD - THE MUSTARD SEED - PART 3 of 4 In the second Part we focused on Constantine who married the church to the State with his Babylonian paganism. The church was weakened after that point as it embraced these evil doctrines of the birds of the air. The mustard ...read more

    See how Mary displayed a "be there" attitude, as the mother of Jesus.

    Last week I began a series about attitudes. As we look at the second sermon in this series I want to discuss what I call the "Be There¨ attitude. Mother’s are a prime example of the "be there¨ attitude. There are many things we could say about mothers. We could talk about their love. We could talk ...read more

    Wake Up, Church! Awaken Our Commitment Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,666 views

    We struggle with commitment in our world today. Marriages, for example, last as long as life is convenient. Commitment to God has dwindled as well. If we are going to make a difference in the world, and set our country right, we need a solid commitment to God.

    Lack of commitment is something that runs rampant in our world today. People do not truly stand for anything or are even truly committed to anything. They are blown around like fall leaves in a windstorm, swirling around, going this way and that. (Chameleon Commitment By Neal Gracey Copied from ...read more
