The Gift That Keeps On Giving For Living A Supernatural Life

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 21, 2019

When a person chooses to give their life to Jesus and receive Him as their personal Lord and Savior, they are re-born and become alive to another realm that is supernatural.

Jesus is the greatest gift ever given. Through the gift of the Savior, every person on this planet has the freedom of choice to receive God’s gift of salvation. Salvation makes a person “complete” in Christ (Colossians 2:10). All that the Father is, Jesus is. "All the fullness of the Godhead ...read more

Contributed by Jack Martin on Aug 5, 2017

In a day where thousands are fleeing the church, no longer feeling it relevant. This message it meant to remind us that Jesus was against organized religion, but he is not against the church being decent and in order. In fact he created it that way.

Perhaps you would respond of course he does Pastor where his children, his joint heirs, his body. • That’s not the response that I believe God finds troubling, but there is a second response ...read more

Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021

Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

Boasting In The Cross

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

By the resurrection Jesus overcame sin and death; but the cross is where He made atonement for sin. It was the cross in which Paul boasted, and the cross was central to his missions and preaching; therefore, it should be important to us.

In Galatians 6:14, the apostle Paul declared, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” The resurrection is the power behind the Christian’s faith, for it was by the resurrection that Jesus ...read more
