Our focus will be on the power of words, our need for healing, and how we can strive to speak healing words into the lives of those around us. Just as John ...read more

    A family needs to see a father’s faith in action. As his faith grows over time, many answers will come to pass.

    April, 2007 A Father’s Faith John 4:46-53 INTRODUCTION: There are times when a father’s faith makes requests of the Lord in the interest of his family. This happened in today’s scripture reading. The nobleman had evidently heard of the miracles that Jesus had performed at other places. ...read more

    Harvest: Haves & Have Nots

     | 10,390 views

    This is a sermon mainly designed to be used at Harvest in the UK which uses the harvest laws from Deut 24 to think about the God given responsibility that the "haves,", those with more than enough, have to the "have nots," those in real need.

    HARVEST AND THE "HAVE'S" AND "HAVE NOTS" "When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. When you beat your ...read more

    Jesus prepared his disciples to receive the Holy Spirit. We also need a preparation period to understand the gift of the Holy Spirit which we receive through baptism.

    Becoming Prepared John 20:19-23 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz John 20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “1bPeace be with you.” 20 And ...read more

    Facing Up To Our Faltering Faith

     | 32,301 views

    The statement made by this desperate man reveals to us a great truth. The best way to get faith, is to admit that we don’t have it! This is the account of a man who was willing to admit that though he believed, he needed to believe even more!

    FACING UP TO OUR FALTERING FAITH Mark 9: 14-29 They say that “time is an excellent teacher”. What is one good lesson you have learned in 2001? {Elicit some response} The biggest lesson I have learned last year is this. I STILL HAVE A LOT OF GROWING TO DO IN MY FAITH! At this ...read more

I got a gwanma. I wuv gwanmas.” There was a change made in the countenance of the old woman at ...read more

    Mark 5:21-43 narrates two powerful miracles of Jesus: the healing of a woman with a bleeding disorder and the raising of Jairus’s daughter. Through these stories, we see the transformative power of faith and the boundless compassion of Christ.

    Show Some Gratitude, Won't You?

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 6, 2021
     | 2,698 views

    The sins and wickedness of thanklessness and ingratitude have infiltrated the lives of everyone and is even found in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. This has got to stop and we need to repent.

    There is a severe shortage of gratitude today, almost to the point of extinction. People are not thankful for favors, gifts, promotions, wealth, family, our homes, our health, or the jobs they have. We now possess the ugly and selfish attitude that we are somehow owed these things, and very few ...read more

    It is sad when people lose hope and just wait for their end. We look at the great sadness of the survivors in Judah after the Babylonian destruction. We examine repentance, and the seriousness of sin. What can we do for despairing people? Let us not turn away from honesty in this.

    It is evident that the modern church needs godly leaders. We need those who will rise to the occasion and use their spiritual gifts to influence others in a positive manner. We all influence others – either in a positive way or a negative way, but our influence is inevitable.

    The Traits of a Godly Leader Nehemiah 1: 1-4 “Every believer is a minister or servant of God who should be serving God and exerting influence on others through his/her local church.
