    based on 1 rating
     | 28,346 views

    God sets the prophet Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones (which represented the house of Israel) for one purpose - to prophesy life. There was so much power and authority in his voice that everything dead in the valley came back to life.

    I PROPHESY LIFE “The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he ...read more

    In this introduction to the series, we discuss what idolatry is and how it is still a problem in our modern times.

    A. Can you guess what is the number one problem in the Bible? 1. It is the problem that more than 1,000 verses speak of? a.

    He Is Jealous For Me Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 22, 2018
     | 9,922 views

    Why is God jealous for us and how is that a good thing?

    Introduction: A. If you like to listen to contemporary Christian music, then when you see the title of today’s sermon, “He is Jealous for Me,” you probably think of the David Crowder Band’s song “How He Loves,” because the song begins with that sentence. 1. The beginning of the song goes like ...read more

    The Ultimate Experience: How Not To Miss It! Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 22, 2018
     | 6,713 views

    Some people miss the ultimate experience, in fact, any experience of God whatsoever--even those who claim to be born-again Christians. Why? It comes down to one little word that is pivotal, according to Jesus, in our experience of God.

    Have you ever experienced God? Sometimes it's an unsettling question, isn't it? As born again Christians, we often bristle when people accuse us of being religious. At least I do. When they say something like that, I'm quick to explain to them that I don't think of myself so much as having a ...read more

    God knows you … God really, really knows you … everything about you … and yet God still loves you! His love and His omniscience are both infinite, which means He can never know us better or love us less.

     | 16,507 views

    Sometimes it seems that the time it takes to get our prayers answered is much longer than we anticipated. So we begin to faint in our minds. This message is about not giving up when you are not seeing the results.

    Please turn to Mark 4. Smith Wigglesworth was asked how is it that you walk in so much faith? So the three verses we’re going to read in Mark 4 was his response to anyone who asked him that question. Mark 4:26-28 is a continuation of Jesus’ teaching about the sower who sows the word. (26) And he ...read more

    A child of God has only one thing that will please his or her Father: faith.

    Faith Pleases God Turn with me to Hebrews 11 and we’re going to begin with verse 6. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” The first thing we see in this verse is that faith ...read more
