    The Almighty God In Battle

    Contributed by Ahmed Adebisi Otunba on Jul 5, 2019
     | 12,073 views

    God knows who He is if man cannot correctly identity Him. He stated His identity in Genesis 17:1 as the Almighty and mighty Man in battle in Psalm 24:8. As matter of fact, different people have given names to God based on the mighty works He performed in their lives.

    Questions: Do you know your Creator? (Dan 11:32). Do you know yourself? (2 Tim 2:3-4). Do you know God's desire for your life? (Eph 6:10). God knows who He is if man cannot correctly identity Him. He stated His identity in Genesis 17:1 as the Almighty and mighty Man in battle in Psalm 24:8. As ...read more

    Supporting An Enemy Of God

    Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Jan 7, 2020
     | 4,220 views

    What happens when we align ourselves with what is contrary to God and in opposition to Christ? When we sin, we crucify an innocent man all over again.

    Heavenly Father, we have come against you and your commands in ways that have cost us dearly. Our sinful ways and disobedience to your commands have resulted in chastisement and punishment from you. You have proven that you will do whatever it takes to correct us and bring us back to you. It is ...read more

     | 626 views

    1 of 6. David was a recipient of YHWH-God’s protection(deliverance/rescue), & so David magnified Him. God’s people magnify God. But, When or How do I/you/we truly magnify God? To Magnify God In Your Life, God must be...

    Distractions In Prayer And God’s Transcendence: Still, Small Voice

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 23, 2017
     | 3,364 views

    The voice of Jesus that speaks in the gospel pages is the same voice that hides in the language of divine silence. But if we do not hear the one, we are unlikely to hear the other

    “We initiate a time of prayer sensibility when we prostrate ourselves before God in adoration. We bow in adoration because of two truths—our own nothingness and God’s infinite goodness. The act of adoring God prepares our soul for the God who remains hidden always even as we meet him. His ...read more

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Nov 9, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 576 views

    Obedience to God’s word is our declaration of faith and the key to unlocking God's promises. Today, as part of our series on elevating our discipleship to the next level, I want to explore how we can receive God’s promises through immediate, complete, and joyful obedience.

    Elevate to the Next Level “Living in God’s Promises” Watch on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcmzI59k0rs Here's a question I’d like you to consider for a moment. Who in the Bible showed the greatest faith? Was it Noah, who built the Ark? Was it Abraham, the father of ...read more

    "Blow On Us, O Holy Spirit!”

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 2, 2019
     | 8,659 views

    We're glad to hear about the Holy Spirit moving. But what if the Holy Spirit is not blowing in the U.S.A? Are we without any resources? NO! God allowed Ezekiel to "Prophesy to the Wind/Spirit." If he can initiate a Spirit-move, so can we!

    “BLOW ON US, O HOLY SPIRIT!” Ezekiel 37:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Someone reimagined the Burning Bush account as it would be today: "Moses, listen to Me. I have good news, and bad news." Moses says, “Tell me the good news first.” 2. “OK.” The Voice continues: "You, Moses, ...read more

    based on 35 ratings
     | 15,678 views

    This sermon examines characteristics of genuine faith as depicted in Jesus’ life. Real faith does not take presumptuous risks, it submits to God’s timing and it challenges the status quo.

    Following God’s Plan Fortifying the Foundations #16 John 7:1-13 9-21-03 Intro John 7:1-13 7:1After this, Jesus went around in Galilee, purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life. 2But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, 3Jesus’ brothers said ...read more

    God's Beautiful Symphony Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,374 views

    Like instruments in an orchestra playing the same piece of music, so should all the members of the church and when the church is out of tune, it can get ugly. Four ways Jesus tells us we can tune up our lives.

    INTRODUCTION I really enjoy listening to a great symphony orchestra performing classical music. One of my favorite composers is Johann Sebastian Bach. His most famous composition was “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” Here’s a little bit of trivia about Bach that you might not ...read more

    God's Preparation For Restoration Series

    Contributed by Ely Lambert on Feb 12, 2003
    based on 60 ratings
     | 11,875 views

    The first century church is the goal of restoration. Ezra gives a unique perspective on the goal of restoration, as Israel is in the mode of restoration. Biblical reasoning and understanding can be applied to our modern application of restoration.

    God’s Preparation for Restoration Ezra 1 Preached at the Laurel Church of Christ On February 9, 2002 Introduction: I. Nicknames are always of interest. A. In college, my classmates gave me a couple; one that has followed me is “Ely the Prophet.” B. A prophecy of mine came true. I am just kidding. ...read more

    God rewards those who earnestly seek Him. God gave Uzziah success when he sought Him. When he turned away and disobeyed God because of his pride, he lost everything.

    Heb 11:6 “...anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” God have given us a promise, that if we seek Him earnestly, we shall be rewarded. • This is an offer with a guarantee returns The question is not whether you attend church or how ...read more

    The only place you will find true love is in Jesus!

    1. There are so many of us that before you became a Christian, you were a very mean, hateful, & hard person person. • Of all the words that someone would use to describe you (and me by the way), LOVE definitely wasn’t one of them. • But all that changed with Jesus Christ.

    Christmas Begins With God

     | 6,229 views

    Christmas reveals to us that God knows us and our problem, He loves us because we are precious to Him, and He saves us because heaven is where we ought to belong.

    1 John 4:9-10 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Christmas was God’s idea. It has never been ...read more
