Going Into Battle Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 16, 2018

The spiritual world is real. Evil battles good. We need to go into battle only in God's power. And Paul uses armor to describe entering into fervent prayer.

Going into Battle Ephesians 6:10-18 Sometimes Veterans will ask me, “If there is a God, how could he allow such evil to happen in the world? Why doesn’t he do something about it? Does he not care? Is he not strong enough?” I assure them that God does care and that he is strong enough. And that he ...read more

So Thankful God Is In Control

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Nov 12, 2017

It's like we say thanks, but no thanks. No wonder, there is so much drama in life... As soon as the thought of no thanks enters someone's mind, drama starts to be manufactured!

A Closer Walk

Contributed by Gary Holt on Jul 29, 2023

We can learn from Enoch to walk with God, that God expects us to walk by faith and that without faith we cannot please God or enter heaven

Did Satan Tell The Truth?

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 29, 2025

Satan’s lie promised life without God, but Jesus entered death, destroyed the Uncreation, and gives resurrection life only to those who trust Him.

One Lie Began Uncreation — and Jesus Unraveled It If there is one moment in the entire story of humanity when everything changed—when the world bent, when the soul cracked, when the fabric of existence tore—it was the moment a serpent whispered five little words into human ears: “You will not ...read more

Manifestations Of Prophecy (Part Ii) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2024

This second part focuses on non-predictive manifestations of prophecy. Believers are encouraged to cultivate a desire to be used by God in this way, and instruction is given in how to enter into the operation of this gift.

I. WHAT IS THE GIFT OF PROPHECY in 1 Cor. 12:10?

A Glimpse Of Heaven (Exodus 24:1-25:8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2023

God, and his people, enter into a new covenant, and share a meal. An impossible picture combining worship, and service, and God's presence-- and a glimpse of our future.

Today's passage, for me, has always been one of the most confusing, mysterious, and wonderful passages in all of Exodus (although I feel like God totally opened it up to me this week; it's ridiculous how this just flowed out). It's the kind that leaves you with questions (and the kind ...read more

What Changed? Series

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Feb 13, 2025

I often say, “If there has been no change, then there was no change.” Which means when Christ enters into the life of a new believer then their life will make some changes.

“What Changed?” Acts 9:17-22 I often say, “If there has been no change, then there was no change.” Which means when Christ enters into the life of a new believer then their life will make some changes. Yet if there is only a prayer that could be called, “fire insurance” with no repentance, there ...read more

Message looks at Ezekiel 36:24-32. God moved and brought the people back to the land and to Himself spiritually. God is calling us today to renewal. Are we ready to heed the call?
