    "Ananias: Vessel Of Courage"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Dec 20, 2004
    based on 31 ratings
     | 7,499 views

    No one can predict what great things God will accomplish through even your smallest steps of obedience, courage and grace.

    There was, in Damascus, a certain disciple named Ananias. I think he was a young man. Because in Joel 2:28 God said through the prophet that after He poured out His Spirit on all mankind, their old men would dream dreams and their young men would see visions. And here, in Acts 9:10, we’re ...read more

    This is the first in a series of 4 messages designed to help create a new focus on Purpose/Vision/Mission. Thanks to the writings of Dr. Gene Mimms, Dr. Rick Warren, & Dr. Thom Rainer for the 'extra' readings to complete this series.

    What Is Really True In The World? Hell, Faith, And Heaven

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 30, 2023
     | 1,187 views

    Today, though, the Lord gave me a three-fold message that he wants me to share. First of all, we're going to talk about hell, then we're going to talk about Jesus Christ and the gospel, then we're going to talk about heaven.

    If I go to my bank account and say, "well, I don't know what's true" that's not going to work. There will be an amount listed. It's either correct or it isn't. That's how it is with history. That's how it is with science. That's how it is with archaeology. ...read more

    This sermon is about a "building program" that first takes place in the individual life.

    (1) "A certain congregation was about to erect a new church edifice. The building committee, in consecutive meetings passed the following resolutions: 1. We shall build a new church 2.

    "Do You Wanna Get Well?

     | 14,458 views

    In this message we look at a question that on the surface is quite odd. I mean if you had been lame for 38 years and someone asked you if you wanted to be well, would that be a difficult question? Perhaps it is harder than we first realize.

    “Do you want to be well? John 5:1-17 In our recent study in Nehemiah I showed you this picture of what the wall looked like that Nehemiah and the builders constructed around Jerusalem. This picture shows 10 gates that were used to gain entrance to the city. Each gate had a specific ...read more

    God Honors Mothers

    So often when we read similar texts, the father is named first. But, in this case perhaps the Lord placed the mother first to show her importance to the family unit.

    MOTHER’S DAY EXHORTATION Leviticus 19:3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 1. GOD HONORS MOTHERS In most places, when God speaks relating to parents in the Bible, we usually hear about the father first. However, God speaking to the ...read more

    This message asks; Who would you have been on that first Easter?

    Now they call it the via da la Rosa, the way of sorrows, then it was just another street. And as Christ made his way up the crudely paved streets to Golgotha the crowd pushed and shoved to get a glimpse of the one who was called king of the Jews. The way was packed as Jews from all over the ...read more

    This message in Genesis tells us of man’s original sin. Our first message told us about the original sin that was committed by Satan. This message will focus in-depth into how Satan tempts us to doubt, deception and desire that results in damnation. Bu

    DOUBT Verse one gives us a red flag warning from the very start about the character of Satan. He is identified as the serpent in this passage.

    There are two types of electrical current, Alternating Current and Direct Current. Most A/C believers are not in charge of their life..their feelings are. God is seeking disciplined disciples who allow the Direct Current of God to flow consistently. Updated January 2023.
