    The invalid man by the pool of Bethesda was so close to the healing waters, but yet so far away from being healed. The Jews who heard Jesus were so close to Him, so far away from genuine faith. Many go to church, and are so close to eternal life, but so f

    Let’s turn in our Bibles to John chapter 5: As you’re turning let me tell you a story I read recently....once upon a time there was an explorer by the name of “Guitan” who was famous for his daring adventures and grand discoveries.

    The Matter Of Thomas

    This morning’s message brings us behind closed doors with the disciples in those bewildering first days after Resurrection.

    The Matter of Thomas John 20:19 - 29 (NKJV) 19Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20When He had said this, He ...read more

    Looking For God In The Wrong Places

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 20, 2017
     | 8,961 views

    The sermon focuses on the unimpressive sign the angels point to: a baby in a manger. Not much that's flashy about that. What are the ways that God comes into our lives that don't initially look impressive but are important and meaningful.

    That’s All You’ve Got? Taken at face value, the angel’s sign is pretty unimpressive. - Luke 2:12. - Luke 4:17-21; Luke 4:41; Luke 5:14; Luke 13:18-21; 1 Corinthians 1:26-30. - We get entranced by the Christmas story and the swaddling clothes and manger and don’t see it for what it is. In fact, ...read more

    Facing obstacles to sharing the gospel is common, but God will find listeners who learn to live for Jesus. When one door closes he opens another.

    Here in Acts 28:16-28 Paul explains himself, the gospel and their rejection of it. Why I’m wearing these chains. Why Jesus is the Christ. Why do your hearts reject him, and where will God go from here. Jenny and I were walking along in the neighborhood a few weeks ago when we came across ...read more

    God opens doors the world closes, sending Spirit-led people to welcome all, proving His unstoppable grace when culture says no.

    Good morning, friends. Today we begin with a question: What do you do when the place you hoped would welcome you says there’s no room? That’s the question at the heart of Acts 8. > “An angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Go south to the road—the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to ...read more

    Ask And Seek The Right Thing! Knock At The Right Door! Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,055 views

    I've heard the exhortations to Ask, Seek and Knock in isolation from the Golden Rule. They are irrevocably connected. One concept leads to the other. Jesus points to the way God treats us in order to show us how treat each other.

    Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. The standard message on this passage is, we need to ask, and when we ask God ...read more

    The story of Obededom, a seemingly obscure figure in the Bible, is a powerful example of how God's presence can transform an ordinary life into one of extraordinary blessing.

     | 28,651 views

    You and I are created in God’s image. God loves us and knows what worries us the most. He knew in eternity past, we would worry about death, life after death and the death of our love ones.

    “Where Is The Hope When Death Knocks on the Door?” “And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain, the first things have passed away. And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all ...read more

    Knowing God's will is an important learning for every child of God. Walking in flesh, self and pride is of the flesh but walking closely behind Him is the way of God.

    1 Samuel 23:2”Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah." David made multiple trips to his prayer chamber and got ‘confirmations’ from God before he launched ...read more

    It has often been said, "When the outlook is bad try the up look." That is what we see here in chapter 4. There were “doors” of persecution all around, but now John sees an open door in heaven. This was not just a door into heaven; this was a doorway int
