Purchased For Clarity: The Sobriety Of A Blood-Bought Priesthood

Contributed by Pastor Matthew Faure on Jan 10, 2026

Christ's blood-purchase makes all believers a royal priesthood with permanent Spirit-indwelling. Because New Covenant believers are the temple rather than entering it temporarily, Leviticus 10:9's priestly sobriety requirement becomes continuous, not contextual.

PURCHASED FOR CLARITY: THE SOBRIETY OF A BLOOD-BOUGHT PRIESTHOOD I. YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN The crisis of modern Christianity begins with a lie: "I am free to choose." But Scripture says: You are not your own. This is not poetry. This is legal reality. Paul asks: "Know ye ...read more

The Quiet Counter-Attack

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Jan 20, 2026

In a world that loves to go on the attack, how does Jesus respond when John is attacked? He fights back in a different way. A quiet but strong way, of repentance.

Sermon # 29 - The Power Of Corporate Prayer Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 20, 2025

Something happens when people gather together to pray. The early church experienced this in a mighty way and they witnessed astounding miracles because they prayed together. Only when families and churches pray together will we be able to see a revival in these last days.

For our meditation I have chosen Act 4:31,“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.” (AFV) It is a fact that whenever we as a church gather and pray together, there will ...read more
