     | 5,833 views

    Peter and John before the Sanhedrin provide an example of how the child of God is to respond to pressure from the world to conform to low expectations.

    “When [the guards] had brought [Peter and John before the council], they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, ‘We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,541 views

    After the Day of Pentecost the first Church was a Learning, Expectant, Active, Generous, United, Evangelistic Church. We have much to learn!

    At the start of the year some of you were worried that I had developed a bit of a fixation with pews. If taken out of context it was possible to think that the new Vicar was calling for a return to pews in the church. Personally, I wondered if my reference to pews had anything to do with my concern ...read more

     | 8,528 views

    When we pray do we expect God to answer? Your prayer releases God’s power to work on the earth.

    July 6, 2008 Morning Worship Text: Luke 11:1-13 Subject: Prayer Title: Praying for Results I suppose that there isn’t a Christian anywhere that doesn’t pray. I know for a fact that even non-Christians pray (I did before I accepted Jesus). But I wonder how many people know how to pray in order to ...read more

    There are many people who went to Bible colleges but the Bible College is not inside of them. Are you where God is expecting you to be?

    ARE YOU THERE? Dr. D. K. Olukoya We shall start this message by looking at three scriptures: Genesis 3: 9: “And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou?” Was it that the Lord could not see Adam? No. He could see him. I King 17: 2: “And the word of the ...read more

     | 30,343 views

    The power of God backs us up when we dare to speak His Word with faith, love, authority, and full expectation.

    When You Pray Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 30, 2016
     | 4,945 views

    This series is based on the movie, War Room. This lesson is a reminder of God's Expectation of our prayers. It is not, "If" but "When" we pray.

    1. A few weeks ago I attended a conference put on by "Strategic Renewal." While I was there I purchased a T-shirt with the slogan, "Make the Church Great Again." Perhaps one of the ways God will make the church great again is through the prayers of His people. 2. We know that God is anxious to hear ...read more
