    Ministry, The Right Way: Free From All For The Sake Of All Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,353 views

    Christians should be obsessed with evangelism. It should be a constant thought throughout our day. The interest in winning others should consume you.

    Yesterday marked the anniversary of the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision that opened the floodgates for abortion in America. It was on January 22, 1973 that the US Supreme Court handed down its decision that women had the constitutional right to an abortion. Nearly four decades later, the argument ...read more

    Faithfulness And Goodness: Overcoming Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 22, 2023
     | 2,312 views

    Kamran was a violent man who sold drugs & weapons in Iran. A friend gave him a New Testament, & for 5 consecutive days, Kamran devoured it. He soon gave his life to Christ. Where Kamran used to sell drugs and weapons, a church now met in his home.

    It seems as if corruption and scandal is everywhere these days. Goodness and faithfulness are rare commodities in our day. If goodness and faithfulness were sold on the mercantile exchange in Chicago, their very rarity would cause their prices to soar to unprecedented heights. Scandals are ...read more

    Hope

     | 17,428 views

    In these times, many of us are losing hope. As children of God and brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, it is important to remember who we are and who loves us. All that we "need" will one day be given to us at the time we need it most.

    How many of you are losing hope? I suspect, with all that is happening in our world, probably quite a few. I must admit, there are times I feel the same way as you might today. I am only human and I do have my doubts about certain things. You’ve seen all the posts on Facebook and other social ...read more

    Building On The Living Stone

     | 1,677 views

    We talk about Jesus Christ being the cornerstone, but do we really know what a cornerstone is, or even its purpose?

    Church family, how are we doing today? Today, we are going to call upon the Holy Spirit to help us explore the beautiful message found in 1 Peter 2:1-10. In this section of Scripture, we'll see the importance of craving spiritual nourishment, of being built into a spiritual house, and the ...read more

    One must sow before one can reap.

    You Must Sow Before You Can Reap Psalm 126:5-6 (KJV) They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

    A 10 week study on the book of Romans to help every Christian be all they can be.

    Welcome back to Basic Training. We have 1 weeks remaining in our study of the book of Romans after today. I love preaching out of the book of Romans because it is a book that draws us closer to God. The words of Paul which were inspired by God can bring revival to the hearts of those who read ...read more

    "Blow On Us, O Holy Spirit!”

    We're glad to hear about the Holy Spirit moving. But what if the Holy Spirit is not blowing in the U.S.A? Are we without any resources? NO! God allowed Ezekiel to "Prophesy to the Wind/Spirit." If he can initiate a Spirit-move, so can we!

    “BLOW ON US, O HOLY SPIRIT!” Ezekiel 37:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Someone reimagined the Burning Bush account as it would be today: "Moses, listen to Me. I have good news, and bad news." Moses says, “Tell me the good news first.” 2. “OK.” The Voice continues: "You, Moses, ...read more

    Authentic Servants Of God Series

    Paul took us on a look at the message of the Gospel, its messengers, ministry and our trust in the Master of the work of the Gospel. He helped us understand the endurance we need, the character and nature of the ministry.

    2 Cor 6:3-13 Authentic Servants of God Paul has been writing in answer to his critics and in defence of his ministry. • This was necessary because false teachers had sown discord among them, challenging Paul’s authority, questioning his motive in ministry and casting doubt on his character. • Why ...read more

    Bottom Line: Joy flourishes when Christ is exalted, even in the face of hardship.

    Last week, we began a new series through Paul’s letter to the Church at Philippi. The Book of Philippians shows what it means to live with defiant joy. And here’s what I mean by that: “defiant joy” is a joy that stands firm regardless of what life throws our way. Even in his imprisonment, Paul ...read more

    Walking In Divine Purpose Series

    Contributed by Apostle Dr. Belinda V. Broadnax on Oct 24, 2024
     | 3,233 views

    This sermon explores how hearing and obeying God’s voice leads to walking in the divine purpose He has set for our lives. It emphasizes how purpose is discovered and fulfilled through a close relationship with God.

    Every person on this earth was created with a purpose. Deep within us, there is a desire to know why we are here, what we are meant to do, and how our lives fit into the greater picture. This search for purpose is not just a natural human longing—it is a spiritual pursuit. The Bible tells us in ...read more

    When all else failed, The Syrophoenician Woman threw herself on the mercy of God. Her great faith, great humility and persistent importunity won the day. Your faith can win the day for you too.

    The Believers Armory is where our weapons are stored, our battle is a spiritual one and must be fought with spiritual weapons. Find out what these weapons are how to access them and how to use them.

    2Cor 10:3-5 By now we are completely aware that we are in a battle (That battle is a spiritual battle) and that battle must be fought with spiritual weapons. *It doesn’t matter how powerful your weapons are they are worthless if you do not know how to use them or you simply refuse to use ...read more
