Prayer Keys - Abiding In Christ And Christ's Words Abiding In Us Series

Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Feb 23, 2012

Abiding in Christ, a relationship more intimate than being at home with a loving family, is our source of life. Christ’s words abiding in us should be so familiar to us that when we encounter the false we know it. These are two keys to empowered prayer.

Prayer Keys - Abiding in Christ and Christ’s Words Abiding in Us “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you,” John 15:7. For this prayer key, I prefer the “old fashioned” King James Bible language. Abiding carries ...read more

Learning To See That We May Follow

Contributed by Carl Greene on Jun 21, 2010

The Greek word for “roadside, road and ‘way’” are the same word. Bartimaeus ask for and received his sight. Upon seeing clearly, he got up and followed [Jesus] along the road… along the “way.”

A Picture Of Jesus

Contributed by Don Baggett on Jun 26, 2010

The Bible is about Jesus, and there are many pictures of Him, even in the Old Testament where His name is not given. This message shows how Joseph is a picture of Jesus.

I heard a preacher say that Jesus is on every page of the Bible, even when His name is not called, and if you read a page and don’t find Jesus, you need to read it again, because the Bible is about Jesus. I agree with that. Today, I want you to see some ways that Joseph gives us a picture of ...read more

What's It Going To Cost Me? Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 3, 2021

A Semper–fi Friend

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021

Jesus tells us that we are His friends if we do what He commands us (John 15:14). If we keep His commandments, then we abide in His love (John 15:9). Jesus wants us to be semper fi friends! This sermon is about how a dog taught me something about the Gospel.
