    Using the story of Elisha’s literal call to ministry as an allegory, we can draw several truths from this passage concerning whom God chooses to call into a work for Him.

    WHO IS CALLED TO SERVICE IN THE KINGDOM © 2002 Mark Beaird Text: 1 Kings 19:19-21 Many say that they want to be greatly used or at least used in some way in the Kingdom of God, and yet, the lack of action in their lives betrays their words. However, the truth is that if we do not want to be ...read more

    Evangelistic Sermon focused at two things. 1. To draw attention to the unsaved listener to the felt need of salvation. 2. To cause the church to realize that desparate people are all around us.

    Signals of the Soul Mark 5:2-6 I. Introduction A. There are various signs, certain signals, that are given by men who are prisoners of war, or floating helplessly on the wreck of a ship, or stranded in some way.

    I received the outline for this message from a local Nazarene colleague. It draws a comparison between the grace Christ extended to the lady caught in adultery and the grace shown by the elements of the communion table.

    THIS THING CALLED GRACE John 8:2-11 When I was in Grade 1, I was almost caught throwing rocks. It was during the lunchtime recess when my cousin and I decided the most productive thing to do was to throw rocks. We were not throwing rocks at the school.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,911 views

    Luke in his account of the Ascension draws the listener to remember the story of Elijah’s Ascension. Pentecost is the day the church received the Mantle of the Spirit as Elisha received Elijah’s Mantle.

    The Mantle I (Copyright: Rev. Bill Versteeg 2008) The disciples had been arrested by miracles. First there was the crucifixion, an offering offered in righteousness and purity, even the Roman Centurion had to admit that this crucified one was “the Son of God.” But many doubted. Thomas, one of ...read more

    When bad things happen to good people, people can begin to draw "Bad" conclusions about the character of God, and in turn they begin to acting badly... Dorcas died, why?

    Title: “How to explain the death of a Gazelle?” Text: Introduction: The meaning of the name of Dorcas is "Gazelle." It seems clear in scripture that Dorcas died a premature death. She died because of "sickness," not old age. Everyone seemed startled that God would allow the death of this ...read more

    The reason for the luxuriant growth of believers is that they are planted in the house of the Lord and they flourish in the courts of our God. In other words, they live in daily fellowship with the Lord, drawing their strength and sustenance from Him.

    Are You Mma Read? Series

    In spiritual warfare there are no rules, no rounds, no countouts, no one to stop the fight. Whoever fights the hardest, the meanest, and lasts the longest will win. There is no draw. You either win the battle or lose the battle.

    This week I caught a glimpse of the MMA. Has anyone seen these matches? They are brutal. They take place in a cage where two opponents fight three to five rounds. Every round is 5 minutes in duration with one-minute rest period in-between rounds. Non-title matches must not exceed three rounds. ...read more

    Everyone has doubts, especially in trying times like these. Thomas shows us to guard in your low times, draw strength from others, and meet the risen Lord.

    John 20:19-20, 24-29 Defeating Doubt In this terrible time of pandemic, you might be tempted to think, “Where are you, God? Why don’t you stop this? Are you really there?” Everyone goes through doubts in their faith, even Mother Teresa. She once wrote her spiritual director, “Where I try to raise ...read more

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • Last week we began our series, Binge Reading the Bible, by examining the Pentateuch. • We learned that the Pentateuch is the foundation of what we know about God, and it is the foundation of our faith. • We should have noticed that God’s desire for people to love and to be ...read more

    Meditations on Christian living as I near the end of days. Looking to what is coming enables me to weather the storms of life and to draw renewed strength from the Risen Son of God.

    “We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of ...read more
