Jesus, Our Healer

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

Jesus has the power to heal us from every physical and mental disease. But he doesn't always use that power. Often, what we need more is to be healed from our spiritual blindness.

His Eyes Are On Us!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Mar 30, 2020

I like the idea of a father who would allow his son to tackle something difficult on his own, but who at the same would make sure to be there if he were needed.

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Peter 3:12; Psalm 139:1-14 ILL. A little boy living up north was looking forward eagerly to the birthday party of his friend who lived only ...read more

Christians Are Out Of This World

Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Jan 10, 2024

What Jesus said in Matthew 7 is something that every Christian should heed How do we keep from being one whom the Lord professes, “I never knew you”? We have to live a Holy Life separated from this World. How do we do that?

Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more

Valley Of Achor Will Become A Door Of Hope

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Aug 29, 2021

God raised up Hosea during the darkest days in the history of Israel. God gives a wonderful promise to His people through the life and message of Hosea. God can turn the Valley of Achor in your life into a door of hope.

There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.’ There she will respond[b] as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt. - Hosea ...read more

The Church And Healing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Healing has been a Christian weapon to destroy the works of the devil from the beginning. Some form of healing should always be a part of the ministry of the church.

One of the enjoyable experiences of being a parent is the experience of exercising the gift of healing. Maybe you are unaware of the fact that you possess such a gift. I was until I noticed how effectively my wife was using it. I then became conscious of the fact that I had the same amazing power ...read more

Be Reconciled To Your Brother Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Reconciliation begins with confrontation; being brave enough to approach someone to say, “Hey, we need to talk about something.” Rick Warren says that running from a problem and pretending it doesn’t exist is cowardice.

I want to ask a question to start off our message, and that is, “Whatever happened to reconciliation?” It seems as though there’s not a lot of reconciliation happening in our churches today among Christians. Probably the reason why is because reconciliation begins with confrontation; or rather, ...read more

For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (TPT) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, let us turn our attention to verse 16. This is the Lord’s promise to the one who makes the Lord his refuge, ...read more

On Assignment, Not On Accident Series

Contributed by Todd Tenaglia on Jun 13, 2025

God has given us each specific gifts and resources. He expects us to live for the advancement of the Kingdom on earth. When we fail to do this, we are outside of His will and off assignment.

1) Introduction a) Trouble in school—bad grades—didn’t care about learning—wanted to hang out with friends. b) The problem was that I failed to understand the value of the assignments the teachers were giving.
