    Contributed by Scott Kircher on Feb 4, 2015
    based on 9 ratings
     | 20,405 views

    In Christianity, the name of Jesus is powerful, not just for the name, but in Who it represents. For Christians, we carry the Name of Jesus Christ with us and with it comes power. What is that power available to us and how should it affect our life?

    The Power of the Name – Part 1 Acts 3:1-20 In the Name of Jesus there is the Power to Give and Gifts to use (Acts 3:1-10) to Speak Boldly and Truthfully (Acts 3:11-16) of Forgiveness and Refreshment (Acts 3:17-20) What’s in a name? In our culture today, we may not think that names ...read more

    Lazarus And The Rich Man

    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,003 views

    It has become common practice to see as the whole meaning of this story that the rich should help the poor... But this particular story especially, if one allows oneself to be affected fully by its original meaning, is a very concrete proclamation of the

    One cannot understand and preach the gospel concretely enough. A real evangelical sermon must be like holding a pretty red apple in front of a child or a glass of cool water in front of a thirsty person and then asking: do you want it? We should be able to talk about matters of our faith in such a ...read more

    Is Church Attendance Important? There Is A Pandemic!

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 16, 2021
     | 5,088 views

    The results of the pandemic have affected so much around us. Many are living in fear instead of faith. The temptation to forsake public worship or assembling together is stronger today than I have experienced before.

    Is Church Attendance Important? There is a Pandemic! Hebrew 10:23-25 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but ...read more

    Divorce is a sensitive issue that has touched a majority of lives, either directly or indirectly. With so many people affected by this issue, we need to consider what the Bible has to say and look at if from a biblical perspective.

    When we become a Christian, not only does Christ take away our sin, we identify with him, in death to our old ways, resurrection power to affect change, and life in a whole new way.

    Colossians 3:1-10 Living Life the Way God Intended When you become a believer, you adopt a whole new set of values. You realign your life to live God’s way instead of Satan’s way. You say, “God, you know better than I do how I should live my life.” We’ve been in a short mini-series in the book of ...read more

    We as modern disciples are an extension of Jesus’ ministry. We are witnesses to the same real relationship with Jesus that the disciples had. We have his power so that we can touch lives and affect eternity.

    Has anyone ever told you something so outrageous or so unbelievable that you thought you couldn’t believe it unless you saw it for yourselves? Have you ever seen anything that was so unbelievable that it was scary? If so, then you can understand how the disciples felt after they saw the risen ...read more

    Each of us needs to KNOW that we have a testimony, that it's one of our greatest weapons against Hell. We need to know how to share it, and know how it will affect others.

    Liiving large in stressful times requires prayer. We are targets of a conspiracy of hate, but prayer makes us genuinely missionary. We are victims of self-centered religion, but prayer makes us compassionate. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    The alarm that went off on September 11 is opening our eyes to the problem of individualism. The only thing that will keep us from collectively rolling over in our bed of apathy is a strong call to the cross of Christ and to genuine Christian community.

    The New Awakening Pastor Jim Luthy It has been two and a half weeks since we were awakened by the news of terrorists striking on our own soil. Since that time, we have heard that the attacks awakened a "sleeping giant." But that leads me to some questions. If we were a "sleeping giant," why ...read more
