    Message on the importance of relying on the Spirit for power to live and knowledge to know the will of God.

    DON’T LOSE THE SENSITIVITY! GAL 3:1-3 Sunpm 1/13/02 “You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? ...read more

    When You Really Blow It Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 7, 2022
     | 2,879 views

    The actions of Moses brought serious consequences. He led the people of Israel for almost forty years. Now it was time to cross into the promise land. Moses would not lead them in. He would not even be able to enter. Moses really blew it. But this is a message of God's grace.

    Have you ever really blown it? Maybe there was a time when you lost your temper at a meeting and slammed your fist down on the table? Suddenly you realize this is not how I wanted things to go. Maybe you did something far worse. You realize that nothing is going to be the same from this time ...read more

    The important place of prayer in the Christian's life.

    The Scripture this morning contains two entirely different stories which seem unrelated, but, in fact, have much the same message. The first is an early meeting of Jesus with Peter, James and John before they became disciples. They had worked all night with all the skill of professional ...read more

    Sermon 7 in the Galatians series. A powerful argument from Paul in favor of Justification by Faith, not from works.

    Making Your Life Count: The Wisdom Of Godly Arithmetic

    based on 31 ratings
     | 13,409 views

    God gives every human being exactly 86,400 seconds every day. This message focuses on the importance of "Godly" as opposed to "human arithmetic" in numbering our days.

    MAKING YOUR LIFE COUNT: THE WISDOM OF GODLY ARITHMETIC Psalm 90: 12 1.

    Inalienable Rights Series

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Aug 14, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,082 views

    The idea of Inalienable rights is rooted in Genesis and the fact that human beings are created in the image of God. Neither Secular Humanism or Islam recognize this. This message looks at this in an instructional way.

    INALIENABLE RIGHTS Pastor Eric J. Hanson November 26th 2006 A message like this one can stand alone, but I strongly suggest that each one listening to Inalienable Rights also get a CD or tape of my message from two weeks prior to this one.

    Three Of The Oldest Church Traditions Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 9, 2015
     | 6,229 views

    Because the disciples were very human, and because human nature hasn’t changed, they exemplified three established traditions that are every bit as common in the church today.

    Three of the Oldest Church Traditions (Mark 10:32-45) 1. We all live within the boundaries of routines and patterns; but they do not always hold true. 2. Two old friends bumped into one another on the street one day. One of them looked forlorn, almost on the verge of tears. His friend asked, "What ...read more

    Human sin and human weakness will never be absent from even the hierarchy, and, as Catherine taught, prayer and repentance must always be part of our arsenal against evil.

    Yes, there is a Balm in Gilead for our day to heal all of humanity’s ailments, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Learn more from Jeremiah’s question if there is such a balm and physician.

    The Relevance Of Wonders

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 23, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,941 views

    Many churches are asking why they are not growing and why their outreach efforts seem so ineffective. Evangelism is most effective when the proclamation of the gospel is accompanied by a demonstration of signs and wonders.

    Ministry and evangelism can be difficult in a country like America that holds a western worldview. The reason why is because people’s skepticism and unbelief concerning “the unseen” and “the miraculous” can limit church growth. God has bestowed on His people authority and power to see souls saved ...read more
