     | 2,692 views

    The church of Philadelphia is the only church that was given the promise of being Raptured and it was because of what they did, and it is those characteristics they possessed that we must possess today in order to be caught up in the Rapture.

    Philadelphia The Raptured Church By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - In my studies this week I was looking at the 7 churches of Revelation and I have taught on them many times before, but that is what is so awesome about the Word of God you can read it over and over again and every time ...read more

     | 38 views

    God’s generous presence and blessing are available to us through prayer, inviting us to trust, receive, and live confidently under His open heaven.

    Some mornings feel like the sky sits low and gray, as if our prayers push against a ceiling of clouds. Bills stack, hearts ache, and strength thins out around the edges. And then we read a line of Scripture and it’s as if God opens a window and lets a fresh breeze run through the room. That’s what ...read more

    True faith is shown by serving others with love in everyday life, trusting that God values our simple acts of kindness and compassion.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. Others came in with questions that kept us up last night. We wonder, Do I measure up? Is God tired of me stumbling? Can simple, ordinary me really please a holy God? Friend, take a deep breath. Your Father is not frowning ...read more

     | 25 views

    The sermon urges us to love God wholeheartedly and express that love through everyday acts of kindness and care for those around us.

    Some words from Jesus land in the heart like a familiar melody. They hum along in the background while you’re packing lunches, paying bills, or waiting at a red light. They are simple enough for a child to recite and strong enough to hold up a life. Mark 12:30-31 is like that. It meets us at the ...read more

    Christ meets us in our weakness, supplying strength and love so we can persevere, serve others, and experience true courage in everyday life.

    Some of us walked in with smiles; some of us walked in with sighs. Schedules feel heavy. Headlines howl. Bills pile, plates spin, and sleep sneaks away. You’ve tried to be strong for your people, and the strength ran thin. You’ve tried to be brave for your heart, and the courage felt small. If ...read more

     | 34 views

    True Christian living finds its meaning and endurance in love; without love, our actions and gifts are empty, but with it, everything gains lasting value.

    Good morning, friends. If you came in today weary, worried, or worn thin, you’re not alone. Some of us have been carrying more than we care to admit—unanswered questions, unspoken hurts, unfinished to-do lists. We try harder, run faster, give more, and still wonder: Why do I feel empty? Why does my ...read more

     | 71 views

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or comparison, but from humble confession and receiving the mercy and love found in Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a scoreboard in our heart. You know the scoreboard I mean—the quiet tally of how we’re doing compared to others, the inner itch to be seen as enough, the nervous need to be noticed and approved. We measure our worth by the week we had, the ...read more

    God calls and equips ordinary people to serve and minister, emphasizing surrendered hearts over methods, so that every believer actively participates in Christ’s mission.

    Some of you walked in today with a song on your lips and a smile in your eyes. Others arrived with a sigh, carrying calendars that feel too full and hearts that feel a bit thin. God sees you. He knows the names on your to-do list and the needs you don’t know how to name. And into this ordinary ...read more

     | 13 views

    Prayer begins with trusting God as our Father, centering our lives on Him, and building a simple, daily rhythm of fellowship through Christ.

    If you listen close enough, right where the morning is thin and the coffee is warm, you can almost hear the first word Jesus taught us to pray: Father. Not a distant title, not a cold address, but a name full of nearness and tenderness. The kind of name a child whispers when the night is long and ...read more

    1 Corinthians 15:1-15:8 Because He Lives!!! I’d like to start this message off with a question; What’s your ambition in life?
