    Contributed by Jim Luthy on Nov 12, 2002
    based on 46 ratings
     | 6,268 views

    If you were to ask my why revival tarries, whether it be your own personal revival or a corporate church-wide or city-wide or nation-wide revival, I would say it is because we don’t want it badly enough.

    Why Does Revival Tarry? Isaiah 35:3-4 Pastor Jim Luthy In the climactic final scenes of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," Indy becomes desperate to reach the Holy Grail, the cup from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper, because his father has been shot and needs to drink from the grail to ...read more

    Why Do We Fast?

    Contributed by James May on May 5, 2002
    based on 49 ratings
     | 20,363 views

    Fasting is more than skipping a meal or a number of meals, that’s only dieting. Fasting is always for a purpose and with an answer to prayer in mind.

    A study on Ephesians 4:17-32, this is the second in a series on how to clean up our lives by stopping what’s wrong, changing our thinking, and starting to do what’s right.

    How many of you are familiar with the television show “Trading Spaces”? It is my wife’s favorite show. If you are not familiar with it, let me explain it to you. Two couples who are neighbors and friends (hopefully) appear on this show. Each couple is paired with an interior designer and given ...read more

    Why is there so much fighting and quarreling in the church; war in the heart.

    SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO GOD Jas 4:1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? Jas 4:2 You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask ...read more

    We Need Rain

     | 19,318 views

    Just as many of the people today in the Middle East and Central Asia, currently in the grip of one of the worst droughts in recent history, are desperate for rain, so the church needs to see its desperate need for a fresh rainfall from God.

    WE NEED RAIN DEUTERONOMY 28:1-15, 23-24 Introduction: A few years ago much of the United States went through a severe dry spell. It was so dry that it had become an Internet joke. During that drought someone published this request online: “Please pray for rain: "It’s so dry in Tennessee that the ...read more

     | 9,900 views

    We all face temptation and we are solely responsibility for our actions.

    Text: Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone (James 1:13). What is temptation? Temptation is an enticement, an appeal, an attraction which tends to lead someone to commit an immoral or sinful act. Is there ...read more

    What type of relationship does God want to have with you? God wants to be our friend.

    I want to ask you to consider something as we enter this Fall season. How would you describe your relationship with God? That’s a personal question that I simply invite you to simply reflect upon. I would presume that many of us find ourselves in many different stages and seasons. You may just ...read more

    The scripture passage today talks about how to live as free people, which fits right for the occasion of the Independence Day.

    Galatians 5:1, 13-25 1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 13 For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. ...read more

    A Witness To The Word Of Life Series

     | 10,141 views

    As John begins this mighty epistle, he does so by exalting the Lord, Jesus Christ. We must never lose our focus and awe of the Lord. The first few verses of the epistle set the stage for what is to follow.

    A Witness to the Word of Life 1 John 1: 1-4 Tonight I want to begin a study of the first epistle of John. Although John never mentions himself directly in this epistle, he is universally accepted as the author. The style, vocabulary, and content point to John, with direct similarities to the ...read more

    When Jesus died the disciples had to wait for the promise of the Father. None of us like to wait. If we are willing to wait we will discover hope waits in order to develop us!

    Intro: How many of you like to wait? I will just be honest I don’t like it at all. In fact I do everything I can to keep from waiting. I try to calculate in my non-mathematical head which Wal-Mart line will be the quickest and in my hurry I end up choosing the wrong one. I don’t ...read more
