    Getting Real With Your Self Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 9, 2003
    based on 26 ratings
     | 5,804 views

    Lenten series based on Mark 14 and Jesus’ encounters: Jesus was so comfortable with Himself that He could encounter threatening people without being threatened; could correct hostile people without being destructive; and could receive the heart of a tortu

    We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes – This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, ...read more

    Demons, Pigs, Restoration, And Rejection

     | 1,610 views

    Scripture presents demons not as mythological creatures, but as real beings involved in historical and future events. Jesus encountered many of them during His earthly ministry, and in His encounters, He healed the persons whom the demon or demons had taken residence.

    The Hidden Work That Brings God’s Power

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,063 views

    This encounter makes no sense (why would Matthew just get up and follow this man) unless you know the behind-the-scenes encounters that happened prior. This message unpacks the need for that hidden work in our lives to see God moves powerfully.

    WHY DOES MATTHEW FOLLOW A STRANGER? The public commitment was preceded by behind-the-scenes work. - Matthew 9:9. - Matthew 4:18-22; John 1:35-42. - Matthew doesn't follow a stranger. He had a previous relationship with Jesus. This public moment was preceded by behind-the-scenes things. - The ...read more

    Every person who walks humbly with the Lord encounters various situations along the way. Micah 7:8-13 discloses some of the experiences in the pilgrimage. Not everything that happens to the godly is good. God’s people encounter both good and bad during

    Pray For All Those In Need Of Salvation

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on Feb 11, 2019
     | 1,958 views

    There are people who know God but are still under the law. They need to be released from this bondage. Those who have not yet encountered Jesus also need to encounter Him to get salvation. We need to pray for all these people on a constant and continuous basis.

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: *PRAY FOR ALL THOSE IN NEED OF SALVATION* Romans 10:1-5 King James Version (KJV) 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but ...read more

    One Way We Accidentally Trip Up New Believers Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 14, 2018
     | 2,835 views

    The Christian life is challenging and one way we trip up new believers is by giving them false expectations about what the journey will be like. This passage details the difficulties Paul encountered and serves as a good summary of the struggles any believer may encounter.

    HOW WOULD THEIR MINISTRY BE DISCREDITED? If their children in the faith didn’t continue the race. - 2 Corinthians 6:3b – “. . . so that our ministry will not be discredited.” - Paul talks elsewhere about his children in the faith being his joy. And certainly they were. Here we see another truth ...read more

    We are scouring the pages of the Bible for a series of encounters between ordinary people and God. These encounters are called visitations and they are almost always following a crisis of some kind. There’s a crisis, an extraordinary time when people seek God, and there’s a visitation.

    The Aim of This Series Today, we begin a series designed to show you what happens when God shows up. I am really excited about this series and I have been looking forward to this for quite some time. Over the course of this fall sermon series, we are scouring the pages of the Bible for a series of ...read more

     | 4,023 views

    Discipleship is not a casual affair. In a series of three encounters, Jesus shows the high priority he places on discipleship.

    “Let’s cut to the chase. After nearly two decades of studying Christian churches in America, I’m convinced that the typical church as we know it today has a rapidly expiring shelf life.” This dire assessment of the state of the church begins George Barna’s 1998 book, The Second Coming of The ...read more

    Malchus was only a bit player in the Easter Story but his life was changed forever with this one encounter with Jesus.

    The Things He Heard He was there on a whim. He didn’t have to be there, it wasn’t part of his job but he had heard that something was going to happen, got caught up in the moment and there he was. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. As the mob broke through the trees ...read more
