Releasing Latent Gifts Series

Contributed by Manuela George-Izunwa on Oct 4, 2019

Some gifts go into relegation. We should not let that happen. God has a reason for everything He gives us, it's called purpose. Toying with them affects our calling! In fact, your ministry and impact will shrink or expand to the extent you use your gifts.

RELEASING LATENT GIFTS To release implies something is incarcerated, imprisoned, locked up, and bound. Who locked your gifts up? The devil? Or you? Latent means something is existing but not yet developed or manifest; or it's hidden or concealed. Gifts include all your natural abilities or ...read more

Who’s Faith Matters? Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 1, 2017

God needs our faith to move in our lives. In this message, we examine four passages in the New Testament that show how the person's faith enabled Jesus to move.

Many of us say we are living by faith but we are not getting faith results. How can that be? We say we are living by faith and when we pray the reason for our prayers remain unchanged. How can that be? Could it be, ladies and gentlemen, and I mean no disrespect, that we have been taught a faith ...read more

We're On God's Team

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 18, 2023

One of the unquestioned beliefs in the Church today is that God is in control of everything that happens in our lives and on this planet. This message addresses this belief using the analogy of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as coaches of a football team.

Turn with me to Romans 12. We're going to read verses four and five. (4) For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: (5) `So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Some years ago, a well-known professional ...read more

Our Faith Potential

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 2, 2025

Why does God need us to walk in ALL of the faith that He has deposited into us?

So much of what we hear about faith today is designed to motivate us to pursue faith for ourselves and the things we desire. And because of a “me first” attitude, many in the Church are not walking in their faith potential. They don’t understand the purpose of faith and what they can do to help ...read more

How Long Will You Waver?

Contributed by Tony Skaff on Jul 13, 2006

As Christian believers, many times we ask this same question when we are tired from the unbelief state, ignorance and confusion of most people around us. From this story, it seems that sometimes we ourselves can decide for how long this may continue.

1stBBC How long will you waver? 1Ki 18:16-24 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah. When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, "Is it you, you troubler of Israel?" And he answered, "I have not troubled Israel, but you have, and your father’s house, because you ...read more

Bid Him Come And Die Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 6, 2021

Following Jesus is an all or nothing proposal, and far too many so-called "believers" are riding the fence, playing a game, or trying to look devout when their character shows otherwise. Either follow and obey Him, or be honest in your unbelief and leave.

In today's social set-up, especially here in America, the prevailing philosophy seems to be, "I want it, and I want it NOW!" Young people are crying out for this at a pace that is bordering on the ridiculous, petty, and unrealistic. I do not see even the slightest awareness in most ...read more

The Remnant Lives Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 24, 2021

The general purpose of Romans 9-11 is to explain Israel’s unbelief and the growing gentile population of the church; the great doctrines about God’s sovereignty are important, but the main point is this: God has temporarily set aside Israel to accommodate the church age.

Joshua’s Gigantic Faith

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 14, 2024

The source of Joshua’s faith is his alignment to God’s will or his knowledge of God’s plan. Joshua when he knew from God that defeating the 5 kings was God’s will, he went to the extent of stopping the sun in order to carry out God's plan.

And the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you.” Joshua 10:8 Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: Sun, ...read more

Lessons For Ministry - Mark 9:14-29 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 26, 2023

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed by the evil in the world—or in the church? You feel powerless to do anything of significance, and the unbelief and disobedience to God is so exasperating. This passage shows us what Jesus did in that situation, and it may surprise you.

Mark 9:14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him. 16 "What are you arguing with them about?" he asked. 17 A man ...read more
