Is Time To Silence Familiar Spirits In The Church - Acts 16: 16 – 24

Contributed by Godspower Elishason on May 9, 2011

This message is about the present day proliferation in the body of Christ of so called prophets

From the above scripture you can see Apostle Paul’s stands against familiar spirits. Is high time for us to wake up to the challenges of our time. Though there may be casualties in the process but we can’t stand aloof and see the devil reducing the intergrity of God’s word, the ...read more

Are You A Bar Hopper?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on May 12, 2001

Some Christians would do well in the bar scene as they already have some of the habits.

Are You A Bar Hopper? I know this is a rather unusual title for a sermon. I do see a similarity between bar hoppers and some Christians. I am not referring to consumption of alcohol, though some might imbibe, but rather in their choices of establishments and other desires. In ...read more

Bearing With One Another In Love

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019

All of us have needed to have people be patient with us when we were slow to grow and learn, working through a deep wound in our heart or just having a bad day. One of the best ways to help our churches and all their members is to learn to be patient with them, bearing with them in love.

I don’t get to do it very often anymore, but I love fishing. I grew up near a muddy little lake where you could catch bullheads and bluegills almost any time you tried. But catching fish is only part of the joy. Two years ago we vacationed up in Minnesota. The first evening we went out to a ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 2 John

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

Obviously, we are dealing with 2 John in this message. You have probably noticed that second and third John are very short.

Second John only has 13 verses. Third John only has 15 verses. But, do not make the mistake of thinking that because these two books are short that it diminishes what John has to say. Illus: John was like some people we meet. They do not say a lot, but they have the most to say when they do ...read more

When The Glory Of God Departs Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 2, 2024

The departure of the glory of God from the Temple was a milestone event. Was God forsaking His promises to Israel?

- It’s worth noting as I get started this evening that this is a wild chapter with a lot of interesting and unusual details. Those parts of the chapter are worth a Bible study unto themselves to unpack those meanings. This sermon, though, is not that Bible study. - Instead, we will be focusing ...read more
