Children Of The Devil

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 6, 2022

Our earthly heritage isn't important, but our spiritual heritage is. Just as we reflect the image of our earthly fathers – so also we reflect the image of our spiritual father. If you want to know whether you’re a child of God or a child of the devil – just take a look in the mirror.

Jesus says, ‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (v44) I wonder ...read more

Armed And Dangerous

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Nov 10, 2011

We are not just a group of people on our way to heaven, We are the Army of the Lord, and we are a force to be reckoned with. (we are not here to blend in, we are here to take over).

In most cases when we hear preaching from Ezekial 37 it is used to speak to us of the Power of God: Reviving, Resurrecting, Restoring. It shows us how our God can move into the graveyard of our lives and resurrect dreams and visions, and how he can step into the middle of your chaos and confusion ...read more

Shalom

Contributed by Paulo Fernandes on Jun 8, 2025

We often translate this Hebrew word simply as "peace" in English. But if we reduce shalom to just "peace," we miss so much of its rich meaning.

The Profound Meaning of Shalom: God's Vision for Wholeness Introduction Brothers and sisters, today I want to talk about one of the most profound words in all of Scripture - shalom. We often translate this Hebrew word simply as "peace" in English. But if we reduce shalom to just ...read more

Noah’s Generation And The Last Days Series

Are we just going through the motions of being a Christian? Maybe you are sleep walking and you need awakened out of your sleep. Wake up mighty men and women and prepare for the battles that will come your way.

Going Through The Motions Romans 8:31-37 31 What shall we then say to these things?

It's A Miracle: Thanking God For Salvation Series

Contributed by Rickey Bennett on Aug 16, 2009

If our giving thanks are functional, perfunctory, ho-hum, half-heartedness, and joyless, it is because we have ceased pondering the specifics of just what God has done for us in salvation at the cross.

1. Title: It’s a Miracle! 2. Big Idea: We can be captivated by joy rather than captured by unworthiness. 3. Introduction: a. Read: Colossians 1:12-14 b. Prayer: c. We are continuing our sermon series from the book of Colossians. So far we have applied the gospel to vision, mission and ...read more

Both Saint And A Sinner

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 30, 2024

In the beginning of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul refers to these quarrelsome and divisive members of the Church of Corinth as "Saints." Can I be both Just and a Sinner, at the same time?

Thank you to Tullian Tchividjian, a Lutheran pastor from whom much of the message theme is borrowed. There’s something wonderful our Epistle lesson today that can be overlooked, in that Paul calls the Christians living in Corinth “saints.” In fact, “Saint” is a term he uses to describe all of us ...read more
