The Great Lift Off Series

Contributed by Marilyn Murphree on Mar 22, 2007

Although Jesus completed his earthly ministry and ascended into heaven, His work did not stop there. He commissions His disciples to carry on His work here daily. Are we doing that?

March, 2007 “The Great Lift Off” Luke 24:50-53 Acts 1:6-11 INTRODUCTION: We think of the Ascension as a cosmological event, a space flight, a transfer of a person from earth to heaven; but that is not what it meant to the early church.

The Magi's Guide To Following A Star

Contributed by Chris Tiller on Nov 19, 2005

God just might give you a star to capture your attention and to guide you. And if you follow that star, everything just might change. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people.

They followed the star, and it changed everything. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people. I love the ...read more

The Weapons Of War

Contributed by Ron Hietsch on Dec 19, 2005

The battle is spiritual -- it is against the devil and, his hordes of demons, the powers of darkness and sin. We will all be tested -- everyone of us marked with the sign of the cross and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord are ENEMIES of the devil.

This movie, about a family involved in organized crime,contains some very powerful lessons about the twisted thinking of those whose lives are controlled by Satan.

Branded

Contributed by James May on Jan 4, 2006

Whose brand do we carry? Is it the mark of the Antichrist in our attitudes and way of life, or do we carry the mark of the Lord Jesus Christ? Has the devil tried to rustle you from the Lord?

At Home With Jesus

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Sep 2, 2004

I believe that many times Christians will know what it means to be a follower of Jesus, and they may rightfully call themselves Christians. And yet some people may not sense a connection with God.

Let’s begin tonight by giving thanks to what the Lord has been doing in each of our lives. I know that it is God that is doing these things. We are dependent on the Lord and His stirring our hearts. We can study, and train, and discuss what needs to be done and what should be done, but it will ...read more
