    Being IN HIM means His peace rules our hearts and His power is made perfect in our weakness. To be IN HIM is true fulfillment satisfying all our needs according to His riches in glory.

    In Him is where I want to be By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Today I want to teach on the phrase “In the name of Jesus” or “In my name” and what it truly means to be IN HIS NAME or IN HIM.

    Sermon # 7 - Watch And Pray Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 13, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 880 views

    Jesus wanted His disciples to tarry with Him in prayer at a most crucial hour, but they were overcome with sleep. If we can set aside some distractions and discipline ourselves to spend time with God we will experience wonderful transformation in our lives.

    We read in Mark 14:37, He went back and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour? (GW) As Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, he instructed his disciples to tarry in prayer right where they were, when He went on further ...read more

A year later the boy returns home and he told his father: "O Father, thank you for sending me to the land of our Fathers. It was wonderful, and I learned so much… but, I have to confess that while in Israel I ...read more

    We Have Overcome

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 2, 2024
     | 657 views

    Tindley wrote, “I'll overcome some day”. Pete Seeger and Joan Baez sang, “We shall overcome”. And the apostle John wrote, “You... have overcome”. I like them all. But I am drawn most to the words in scripture that says the overcoming has already happened.

    Alba 9-1-2024 WE HAVE OVERCOME I John 4:4-6 "We Shall Overcome" is a gospel song that is associated heavily with the U.S. civil rights movement. Wikipedia has an article that says the origins of the song are unclear. It was thought to have descended from "I'll Overcome Some ...read more

    Sermon # 7 - Throw-Off, Rebuild, Unite Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 11, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 727 views

    The call of God to the church today is to cast off everything that hinders us from reaching our destination, to rebuild the broken altars, and to work towards the unity of the body of Christ. The coming of the Lord is near and the church must be ready to receive the bridegroom.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. (ESV) As we continue our study on the life of Jonah and the church, I believe that God is declaring His word to the church of ...read more

    Sermon # 38 - The Grace And Justice Of God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 246 views

    Jonah desired that God should punish the people of Nineveh and was angry when God relented. There are two sides of God, His grace and His justice that go hand in hand. A proper understanding will help us set aside our sinful ways and to stay in the will of God.

    For today’s meditation we will look at Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and ...read more
