Should Christians Use Imagination In Prayer And Worship?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 8, 2023

Since the first century, every Born-Again Christian has a desire to draw closer to God through prayer and worship because the Holy Spirit occupies their spirit, mind, and body.

Prayer is part of the daily sanctification process by the Holy Spirit to prepare us to meet Jesus face-to-face when we leave this world and enter eternity (John 16:13-15; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:16-21). Many 'techniques' have risen to help people along the path ...read more

A Syrian Phoenician Woman Comes To Jesus For Help Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023

It’s an interesting incident for this Phoenician woman to come and ask Jesus for help. She is a Greek, not a Jew.

How does the gospel of Mark all fit together? It’s all one cohesive message, to answer the question, who is Jesus really? It begins with John in the wilderness proclaiming the entry of the messiah into history. We see God step into the picture at this point. Then, we see Jesus preaching a message ...read more

Is Pleading The Blood Of Jesus Biblical?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 11, 2025

It is argued that the “blood” of Jesus is for protection” and therefore justifies the practice of pleading it.

INTRODUCTION The Blood of Jesus is mentioned many times throughout the Bible and refers to His sacrificial death on the Cross. Jesus said at the Last Supper, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Matthew 26:28 NIV) “without the shedding ...read more

The Mission Transcends Mere Geography

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 9, 2025

The fame of Jesus spread far from Capernaum and His words and healing were affecting many thousands, preparing both Jew and Gentile for the expansion of the Church after Pentecost .

Friday of the Fifth Week in Course 2025 Most modern Christians in North America, I believe, are unfamiliar with first-century geography, even of the Holy Land. I think if I use a midwestern U.S. parable, it might be easier to envision than what St. Mark records in his Gospel here. Let’s try ...read more

The Power & Love In Jesus' Name Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 4, 2025

Jesus promised we would do the same kind of miracles that Jesus Himself did in John 14:12-14. In Acts 3 Peter and John simply obeyed Jesus commands in John 14 and it resulted in a mass divine appointment. You can do the same, by boldly and publicly praying in Jesus' name.

I suppose it was probably 15 or 20 years ago when I got a call from a young lady in our church who was working as a phlebotomist at St. Mary's Hospital in Reno. She had established a friendship with a couple who were in a crisis because he was facing a surgery for a blocked carotid artery. ...read more

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Apr 21, 2025

When in Jesus' ministry of healing and teaching, he addresses the reality of the suffering that we experience and solves the root problem of our suffering - sin.

It’s not uncommon for people to ask the question, “why do bad things happen to good people?” Or to state it another way, “if God is good, why do bad things happen?” It can sometimes feel like the worst things in life happen to some of the best people.

Really Big Fish In Unimaginable Quantity Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 21, 2025

The Church was charged to go out to preach and baptize every race of humans. This suggests that each of us has that same task in this culture of death.

Rewiring The Heart: When Purity Becomes Pleasure Again

Contributed by Charles Payne on Oct 22, 2025

his sermon explores how God does more than forgive sexual sin—He retrains desire itself. It shows how repeated sin creates reflexive pathways in the heart and mind, and how grace restores intimacy by building a new spiritual “trail” toward purity.
