    The Bible says that we're already in the "heavenlies." How can that be? I like living in Indiana, but it's never been my idea of real heaven. I pictured something with a few more clouds and harps. But it's true that I'm now in the heavenlies. Find out why

    OPEN: I recently heard the story about a young married couple. The Groom wanted to do something special for his new Bride so he planned something special for her. The plan was – after their reception – he would drive them two hours to a special destination where they would spend a ...read more

    This is the fifth message in a series that will be a journey of discovery to gain a better understanding of the Holy Spirit's power, presence and role....This message looks at they ways the Holy Spirit works in the lives of different individuals.

    Is it intuition or the direct guidance of the Holy Spirit? This subject is extremely important but by the same token it can be extremely risky. Risky? We can go too far and read the Holy Spirit into every whim or hair brain idea that passes through our minds. To reduce these risks, many have gone ...read more

    A brief testimony given at LoveDenver in Denver,NC

    Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Today I want to share my testimony with you.

    Balm For Hurting Saints

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 4, 2019
     | 4,359 views

    Sometimes we need the balm of Gilead to heal our wounds. John’s ministry to these hurting Christians takes two directions in the text before us.

    Balm for Hurting Saints (I John 2:7-14) 1. A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.” The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, ...read more

    Navigating Through The Sea Of Hardship

    Contributed by David Darst on Feb 22, 2021
     | 6,308 views

    This is a expositional sermon series through the 27th Chapter of Acts. The Unusual account of The Apostle Paul's journey to Rome, and the practical applications of how it can help assist believers navigate through the storms of life.

    How to Navigate through the SHIP….in the Seas of HardSHIP. In the Storm, you must stay with the Ship to Survive! Acts 27:9-44 I find it extremely interesting why Luke dedicates an entire chapter to Paul’s experience of this voyage on his way to Rome. I think it holds substantial spiritual and ...read more

    Jesus is someone who makes people's days and also makes people's lives. He uses believers to do these things and we can be Daymakers and Lifemakers for those around us too. We need to get back to the basics of being good and kind to people.

    Be A Lifemaker Last Thursday night at the company where Diane works (Turner Machine Co.) they had an open house for employees and their spouses to talk about the state of the company and where they were headed in the near future. And one of the things that Jeff Turner ( the owner of the company) ...read more

    Share your heart, possessions and money, and so be an encouragement to the entire body of Christ.

    A young man took a short cut home through a cemetery late one night and fell in an open grave. He cried for help and tried to climb out, but it didn’t work. There was no one around to hear his cries or to lend a hand. So he settled down in a dark corner of the grave to wait for morning. A ...read more

    If there was ever time that the body of Christ needed to be encouraged, it is now. This message was delivered in a little over an hour and looked at four passages from Isaiah. A short series could be developed focusing on each of the passages.

    Turn with me to James 1:2. “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” And we know the word “temptation” means “test.” And we know the test we are to count as joy is when Satan tries to get us to give up, to give in or to get out when it relates to God and His Word. Now, ...read more

    Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2022
     | 2,075 views

    On the last night of Jesus' life before going to the cross, He spent time with the Father in prayer, serving as our great High Priest making intercession with God the Father on our behalf (Hebrews 3:1, 6:20). This "high priestly" prayer warrants our attention.

    So far in John's gospel, we have encountered glorious portraits of the life, work, and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ that give "many convincing proofs" (Acts 1:3) of HIs divinity and godly authority which no one else can ever claim. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the ...read more
