    This message explores the words and ideas that show up multiple times in this passage and give us indication of the different ways we can react to the storms of life that we face.

    - Last week, in previous passage, there was a literal storm; in this passage, the man is dealing with a “storm” caused by a huge problem in his life: demon-possession. - Sometimes we find that the storm stays for longer than we thought it would. There are a lot of reasons this can happen - this ...read more

    Preaching through a series on Jesus’ life, this is a message on the Beatitudes, as a whole. I do not subscribe to the "standard approach" taken by many; perhaps this message will give some different ideas.

    The gift of the working of miracles is not some far-fetched idea that was made up by man and his infinite wisdom. The working of miracles is a gift of the Holy Spirit for the body of Christ today.

    By: Donna J. Kazenske 1 Cor. 12:8-10 – “…for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit….to another the working of miracles…….” It has been such a tremendous blessing for me to be able to minister in America and in various nations all over the world.

Over the centuries many have written of profound spiritual experiences… and often there can be something to learn from them. But none has been as profound or proved as substantial ...read more

    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 4,996 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    Part VI in the series - 24. This is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the penitent thief on the cross. The preaching idea: Only by the innocence of Christ are the guilty set free.

    Introduction… My prayer is that over the past six weeks that those of you who have been present for this series of sermons have been moved by the stories that we have experienced.
