    In our study tonight Jesus is drawing to a close His teaching for His disciples. The hour is at hand and His arrest is in the very near future! The disciples have a sense that something is going on, but their spiritual perception is dim and limited.

    31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 Peter said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death." 34 ...read more

     | 10,484 views

    If by birth and by nature we have a lack of light, we don’t understand, don’t recognize, don’t receive the Light, how awesome it is that by simply believing the gospel we receive the light of Jesus Christ.

    John 1:5-9 The four gospels record the earthly life of Jesus Christ, and each one presents a different view of Him. Matthew: King of the Jews, Son of David, Heir of Israel’s throne Mark: Servant of God, the perfect Workman of God – the text in Mark brings out the characteristics of His service ...read more

    Almost everyone goes through life with a partial sense of dissatisfaction. We’re looking for the “it.” And we’re not even sure what the “it” is.

    INTRODUCTION This is the first message in a new series I’ve entitled “Heaven: An Insider’s Guide.” When you plan a trip to visit a new city or a new country, you want to have an insider, a local resident, give you information as you plan your trip. When it comes to Heaven, ...read more

    Don’t Quit Just Speak To It

     | 2,340 views

    Research shows that most New Years Resolutions are broken by the second Friday of the year so much so that the second Friday of January is called quitters day. Because of discouragement, disappointment, lack of enthusiasm, hopelessness, disdain, disgust, frustration people give up and quit.

    Don’t Quit Just Speak to it By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - As Christians we supposedly do not make New Years Resolutions, it is considered taboo, sinful, a lie, false oath, or any other tradition you want to title it, but truth be told we all look to the New Year with a level of ...read more

    Thankfulness should be the hallmark of a Christian. The lack of thankfulness shows a heart in need of mending, instruction, and direction. Paul puts is simply like this: it is God’s will for you to be thankful. So let us examine what it is to be thankful.

    Introduction It is that time of year again. Now I don't believe in preaching to the season, but follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and this time the Spirit is leading me to preach on Thankfulness. Our concept of Thanksgiving comes from the thoughts of first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims who ...read more

     | 5,878 views

    Manipulation is a dishonest method to control others, get our way, or make others think an idea was theirs; it stands in contrast to making honest straightforward requests. Manipulation by guilt is perhaps the most common form of manipulation.

    Manipulation by Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests (topical) 1. A lot of persuasion — even in church — can be based upon emotion and a lack of logic. “Pastor Smith was winding up his sermon about the dangers of alcohol and the need for temperance. He shouted, 'If I had all the ...read more
