    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Aug 31, 2022
     | 3,133 views

    This message is about standing in the gap for others - not condeming, hating or wishing ill on those we disagree with, but standing in the gap for them before God.

    Are You Being Sought By God? Scripture: Ezekiel 22:30; First Peter 5:8; Genesis 18:16-25 Ezekiel 22:30 says, “30) And I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” I want you to focus ...read more

    I truly believe that America is at a turning point and that is not a turn into a better direction like what is supposedly believed, but a turning around point that is headed back to a time we have struggled and fought to come away from.

    “What you asked for” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER OPENING: - Well, the election is over, and our next President is what America wanted and now must be prepared to receive what it asked for, a man that was impeached 2 times, left office and hid classified documents in his bathroom, was ...read more

    These handpicked disciples of Jesus found themselves off target and off task in amid uncertainty. It’s normal and natural to feel uncomfortable about not knowing what's next. See how they dealt with uncertainty.

    Is God's Word Strange To You? PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 6, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 107 views

    The sermon urges us to embrace God’s Word even when it challenges us, reminding us true faith means letting God, not ourselves, define truth.

    Some words woo us with comfort; others confront us with change. When the Lord speaks, His words carry weight that wakes us up. We sense His sentences brushing the dust off our Bibles and the haze off our hearts. Sometimes the pages feel prickly, passages puzzle us, and precepts press against our ...read more

    Living On The Edge

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 14, 2025
     | 242 views

    Living on the edge numbs the soul, but God’s mercy pulls us back from the drift and invites us into renewed holiness and freedom.

    INTRODUCTION — “THE DANGER OF ALMOST” There is a way of living that looks safe, feels reasonable, and appears harmless — until suddenly it isn’t. A way of living that doesn’t plunge off a spiritual cliff, but tiptoes toward one. Scripture gives it a name: Living on the edge. Living just close ...read more

    What Does It Mean To "make Every Effort" To Enter The Kingdom? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 10, 2025
     | 322 views

    This passage has two troubling phrases: "make every effort" and "try . . . and not be able." What are we to do with those? And do they mean that God is setting up difficult barriers to get into the Kingdom?

    WHAT DOES "MAKE EVERY EFFORT" MEAN? It doesn’t mean that it’s nearly impossible but that you should focus your attention. - Luke 13:22-24a. - Jesus is asked an important question: “[A]re only a few people going to be saved?” (v. 23). - That's a great question. What is the nature of ...read more

    What if the pressure you feel isn’t because you’re failing—but because you’re trying to prove something you already are?

    Introduction I want to begin this morning with words that many of us recognize—not because they are complicated, but because they are honest. They weren’t written to impress anyone. They weren’t written to explain theology. They were written to be carried. I’m but a stranger here, Heaven is my ...read more

    Discipleship begins where control ends. Trust is revealed not by belief, but by movement

    Introduction We live in a time that prizes manageability above almost everything else. We want lives that are controllable, predictable, and efficient.
