    Too many Christians live defeated lives because they believe the lies of the world and Satan. We need to stop believing Satan's lies and realize who we are in Christ.

The team built a mock prison in the basement of the University’s psychology department. The scientists placed ...read more

    The power of the world and the exercise of force could not defeat Jesus, the Son of God. He is raised by the power of God's love--a love that transforms both the followers of Jesus and the world.

    Luke 24:1-12 “The Power of Love” INTRODUCTION The greatest story of love is the story of Jesus the Christ. His incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection profoundly demonstrate God’s love for all humankind. This love is transformational—life altering. Once we are ...read more

    The plan of Salvation was complete. The battles have been fierce, the war had been long, and Satan would suffer his final defeat. It is finished was the victory cry of Jesus.

    The war in Iraq is a war that will go down in the history books because the Americans defeated a brutal dictator and his regime, and helped this Islamic nation gain their freedom to form a democracy.

    Thousands and thousands of lives have been destroyed in bringing about this democracy. But the price of freedom is always high. Many feel the reasons for invading Iraq and going to war with Saddam Hussein are justified. There are those, however, who accuse the President for going to war for ...read more

    Easter is one of our most holy of celebrations as a Christian. This is the day our Lord, defeated the world and proved He was, beyond the shadow of doubt, truly... the Son of God!

    I’ve always talked about how difficult it sometimes is to write something for everyone each week. We’ve all heard God’s words and, hopefully, have listened intently and realized the Love He has for us and the sacrifice His Son made to free us from ourselves. This week, my task was not all that ...read more

    God did not create man for defeat...sin brought that. But the Bible tells us how we may triumph over sin, self, and Satan through Jesus Christ.

    TRIUMPH IN CHRIST II Cor. 2:14 INTRO. Notice carefully, the first part of our text. The human race was never meant for defeat. God’s intention in creating man was that man should be master over all creation. (Gen. 1:26) -- "And God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ...read more

    The title of this text in the Bible is called "The Lord Helps His Troubled People." In our lives we encounter troubles and difficulties and as a natural response we become discouraged and defeated.

    During Your Troubled Times WHAT MANIFESTS IN YOUR LIFE? Psalm 3:1-8 “O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me.
