    Adventures In Missing The Point Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jul 7, 2025
     | 443 views

    As Jesus makes a turn toward Jerusalem, we learn that the disciples still have so much to learn - but so do we.

    In his book Mere Christianity, CS Lewis uses an illustration to note how different it is to learn something than it is to apply that thing. His illustration centered on the difference between a map and being out on the water. In two dimensions, a map can look quite straight forward. You can see ...read more

    Three Parables One Message Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 429 views

    This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The Bible studies teach foundational truth that are designed to challenge, encourage and, most importantly, flame the fire of hunger in the Christian who wants to learn more about who they have become in Christ Jesus.

    Three Parables, One Message (Rev. Barry Johnson and Rev. Rodney Johnson) NOTE: New Light Faith Ministries and Barry Johnson Ministries, founded by Rodney V. Johnson and Barry O.

    Turning The Tables

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 160 views

    When pride roars loudest and evil seems unchallenged, God turns the tables—silencing injustice, restoring peace, and defending those who trust Him.

    The Lion’s Pride When Nahum wrote his prophecy, Nineveh was still a considerable world dominating power. The city stood like a glittering jewel on the banks of the Tigris River — towering walls, wide streets, palaces carved with lions, kings who thought of themselves as gods. The Assyrian Empire ...read more

     | 303 views

    The eternal I AM who spoke from the burning bush now walks among us as the Good Shepherd. Tonight we discover how ancient promises find fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

    The Shepherd King Introduction When God called Moses from the burning bush, He revealed Himself with those thunderous words: "I AM WHO I AM." This was not merely a name. This was the declaration of eternal, self-existent being. God was telling Moses, "I am the source of all life, all ...read more

     | 216 views

    When you feel defeated, hear God’s message of grace to you, humble yourself before Him, and hope in your ultimate victory.

    At first glance, Rolf Klasson, a gray-haired Swede who hobbles around on his walker, looked like an easy target. At least that's what two would-be robbers thought as they threatened him at an ATM machine. One of the thugs waved a knife while the other thug told Klasson to turn over his wallet. ...read more

    Trust And Obey

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 5, 2026
     | 169 views

    Faith is more than words. I can say that I believe all day long but at some point, I have to actually step out in faith. That's how I know that my faith is real but that it is strong enough to hold me up and sustain me no matter what's going on in my life.

    Basically, I grew up in upstate New York. There were some woods at the end of the street and there was a pond more or less in the middle of it. In the winter, we would skate on it and play hockey. The thing is ... as we gathered on the edge of the pond, we always had the same debate: Was the ...read more

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 23, 2026
     | 130 views

    The question we all eventually ask in the dark is: 'When does it end?' In this series finale, we discover that the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for might not be a change in our circumstances, but a change in us.

    The Question We've Been Waiting For We've spent five sermons learning how-to live-in God's silence. We've learned that God is hidden, but not absent. We've learned that silence is refinement, not punishment. We've learned that God withholds explanation to develop deeper ...read more

     | 15,320 views

    A sermon about letting go of bitterness and embracing forgiveness.

    Are you holding a grudge? A grudge? You know, you can’t physically see it but hidden in your heart is something of substance. Something you have a tendency to hang onto, even hold close. It’s a resistance. It’s reluctance. It’s a rebellion, and it’s resentment. ...read more

    The evidence for Jesus cannot be ignored or written off as fantasy.

    A call for believers to take seroiously the manner of thoughts that they accomodate in thier hearts and recognise that it is an area that must be handled as a warfare if victory is to be attained.

    Topic: War of Thoughts God is resolutely committed to having those of us who are born of His Spirit operate from the position of power, the realm of dominion where everything Jesus has accomplished will be translated into the physical reality by our presence.
