  • We Have Jesus' Power Of Attorney

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Oct 11, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 44,669 views

    Jesus has given us, the body of Christ, the power and authority to act on his behalf. Legally, He has given us His "Power of Attorney." We can legally function in this world just as He functioned when He was here!

    Turn with me to Matthew 28. We’re going to read verses 18, 19 and 20. (18) And Jesus came and spake unto them (the disciples) saying, All power (this is the Greek word exousia and it means “authority”) is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Because all authority is given unto me in heaven and ...read more

    We cannot change the world. But we can change the world of a person.

    One Saturday morning a minister was busily trying to prepare his sermon under the most difficult conditions. It was a rainy day, and his young son was restless and bored, with little to do. Finally, in desperation, the minister picked up an old magazine and thumbed through it until he came to a ...read more

  • We Can Live In Perfect Peace

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 3, 2017
     | 9,984 views

    Jesus says the world will treat His followers just like it treated him. But He says that we can have peace in the midst of the persecution. Sadly, we don't see peace operating in the lives of most Christians. Why not?

    If you spend any length of time listening to or reading what the media (conservative and liberal) are saying about politics, which is most often focused on President Trump, and social issues like racism, the anthem protests, BLM, the Alt-right, etc., you might believe our country is teetering on ...read more

  • Sticks, Stones And Words

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 4, 2017
     | 7,667 views

    As children, we're taught the rhyme "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me". This messages shows us that this is really a lie from the throne room of Satan.

    We’re going to begin in John 8:44. “Ye are of your father the devil...” When Jesus says “ye are of your father the devil” what’s telling the people is you have the same nature as your father, which is the sin nature. He not saying this because they are arguing with him. It’s not like he’s ...read more

     | 28,680 views

    If we want our lives to be different in 2018 than it has been in 2017, then we must "write our vision" for 2018.

    I don’t know about you, but there are some parts of 2017 I’m not very happy about. And there are parts of 2017 I’m not carrying into 2018. Can I get an “Amen”? In 2018, it’s going to be different for Barry. I can’t speak for anybody else but it’s going to be different for Barry. The title of the ...read more

  • Victory Is Where We Live

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 25, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,035 views

    When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

    I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more

  • Make The Devil Pay

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 27, 2017
     | 23,256 views

    When a person dies, especially a young person, we celebrate the life at the person's funeral. We shouldn't be celebrating a life that has been taken far too soon. Instead, God's children should make the devil pay for taking that life.

    Recently, I delivered the eulogy for my niece who was killed in a car accident in Memphis, Tennessee. Patricia, her mom asked me to do the eulogy and I said I would. So my wife flew down to Memphis that Friday and I drove down the following Monday. There was something stirring in me over that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 17,135 views

    This telling of the birth of Christ is a mixture of narrative and historical facts. My prayer is that it blesses you.

    Many of us know the “Christmas Story” oh so well. And no, I’m talking about the one with the “Red rider BB gun”. That “Christmas Story” is very humorous and it’s a lot of fun to watch. But there was nothing humorous about what happened in Bethlehem and the neighboring villages as a result of the ...read more

     | 8,389 views

    Most Christians identify themselves by affiliations or labels. We are Pastor so and so or Apostle so and so or we are Baptists, Methodists, Catholic, etc. The Bible doesn't use any of these to describe who we are in God's eyes.

And that “the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken (revivify, make alive) ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,407 views

    After the tragedy in Orlando, there were Christians whose response was anything but loving. The Bible is clear: God wants the wicked, those living in sin, to repent and live. That should be the heartbeat of every Christian.

    We are the Watchmen By now I’m sure most of you have heard about the tragedy in Orlando where 53 homosexuals, lesbians and transgender individuals were killed. And, as you also know, some of the responses were pretty typical of what you would expect to hear. When it comes to this one issue ...read more
