     | 4,542 views

    Jesus clearly knew God’s will, and yet he had intense angst and the deep feeling of despair that came from actually obeying God’s will. This sermon is intended to equip you for those moments where DOING God’s will, is really really hard.

    If you’ve been around Christian circles for any length of time, there is a considerable amount of frustration in trying to determine God’s will.

    Every year we see American culture feed the flesh and cling to the world view of celebrating Christmas, which is the surmise of misrepresenting a person’s good name. This is especially true of Saint Nicholas, who is referred to now by the modern-day name, Santa Claus.

    The Power & Love In Jesus' Name Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 4, 2025
     | 526 views

    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
