The Gift Of Discerning Of Spirits Series

Contributed by Donna Kazenske on Nov 17, 2002

Discerning of spirits is such a vital gift to the body of Christ. The enemy has gotten away with a lot of demonic manifestations in our church services because the gift of discerning of spirits was not functioning in the leadership.

By: Donna J. Kazenske 1 Cor. 12:7-10 "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom, through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another the gift of faith by the same Spirit, to another ...read more

The Cleansing Of The Temple Series

Contributed by Richard White on Jul 16, 2011

A Practice Run For The Great Commission Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 10, 2021

Jesus sent His apostles to the local towns and areas to proclaim the Gospel message, heal the sick, and cast out demons. They put what they have been taught by Him into action. We need to do the same if we're serious about our faith.

As we continue our journey through Mark's gospel, we come to an episode that could be described as a "trial run" of what the apostles and those after them will be doing in fulfilling Jesus' command to preach the Gospel to every living creature (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; ...read more

Truly Following Jesus Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 18, 2025

There are a variety of reasons why some people follow Jesus - some for benefits, some to slander, some to argue, some bandwagon followers, but what does it take to be a true follower of Jesus?

It seems like nearly every week I run into people who have some sort of faith. They say that believe in Jesus or at least call themselves Christians, but don’t attend a church. Their faith is very personal, private, and even comfortable. They choose to follow Jesus on their terms, as long as He ...read more

Justifying Job – How Not To Respond To Trials And Tribulations

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 19, 2020

With the sudden onslaught of the Worldwide pandemic, it seems appropriate to revisit the trials of Job.

Throughout the centuries, the story of Job has been used to help people in times of sorrow and sickness. Many have interpreted that God was responsible for “allowing" satan to afflict Job, and therefore He “allows” sorrows, suffering, poverty, and sickness to come upon His children. However, ...read more
