The Christmas Spirit

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 5, 2021

This Sunday we'll be looking into the real Spirit of Christmas and how God wants to overshadow us with Him to meet our greatest need, to solve our most insolvable problem, and to bring forth a victory in our lives that in our own strength we’ve been unable to achieve.

The Christmas Spirit Around Christmas time, there are a rash of Christmas special, but nothing replaces, for me, are the classics like “Miracle on 34th Street,” or “It’s A Wonderful Life.” But the one most people are familiar with is from the Novel by Charles Dickens entitled “A Christmas ...read more

The Spirit As Intercessor Series

Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on May 25, 2013

We need to be open to the leading of God’s Spirit. We can so easily be bound by religion and follow rules that are either man-made or man-interpreted.

Peter was bound by religion and in order for him to be open to change, God showed him a vision of unclean animals that descended from heaven.

Open Your Heart's Door To Jesus Series

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021

Many people have used this verse evangelically; however, its true context is for Christians. Jesus is speaking to the Church members of Laodicea to let Him into their life for fellowship and worship and not only religious pretense.

This is my last message on the theme of doors in the Bible. Our text is Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (I put on screen pictures of painting - artist depictions of this ...read more

Getting In Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 30, 2021

It is important to people to get in. They wait in lines all the time to get into a favorite restaurant, or into a movie, or some sporting event. Nobody wants to be left out, and everybody wants to get in somewhere.

Everybody wants to get in on the action. Back in 1982 a crowd began to form one Monday afternoon in December at the River Front Coliseum in Cincinnati. By the time the police arrived at 3:00 P.M., hundreds of fans had gathered at the doors, even though they would not open until 7:00 P.M. ...read more
