Lesson 32. In Physical Needs (James 5:14-15) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2021

I will attempt to show from 1 Corinthians 12:9[1] and 28[2] and Galatians 3:5[3] that gifts of healings were intended for the church in Paul’s day and our day. However, the New Testament does not talk about THE gift of healing.

Lesson Text – James 5:14-15 (NKJV) 14. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he ...read more

Jesus in trouble in John 8 In John 8, Jesus rescues a woman who was dragged before Him, accused of sexual sin. Even though it takes two to tango, they only brought the woman.

The Dust Is Turned To Lice Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 22, 2022

This Plague came from the land, as the two former came from the river. Aaron "smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice (“Kinnim”) in man, and in beast"(ver. 17). This was a new blow at Egyptian idolatry because the earth was worshipped as well as the river.

The Dust is Turned to Lice (Exodus 8:16-19) Exodus 8:16-19 (NIV) Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,’ and throughout the land of Egypt, the dust will become gnats.” They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff ...read more

Our Awesome Responsibility (Sermon On Missions)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

One of the simple rules in life seems to be that people receive in life what they are looking for.

Because they go around looking for trouble and they find it! • We know some people who go to church, and every time there is a church dispute, you can rest assured they ...read more
