    God sent Someone on a secret mission. The operative’s arrival had to be kept a secret from at least three groups of people or all of humanity could be in jeopardy. Yet the secret was let out to a select few. Who were they and why they were told of the mis

    (WWII resistance snuck into France—they must arrive undetected) It is an ordinary evening in Palestine. Whether December or April, it doesn’t matter. Skies are dark and hearts darker. Though the people can’t see it, a blanket lies over the land called “Beautiful.” Were it visible, the people would ...read more

    Done on the Sunday when all members were asked to bring sweaters to support a Southern Baptist missions project for North Korea. As preacher I wore a couple of sweaters and took them off to illustrate points. We are to do more than mouth encouragement.

    Operating As One

    Jesus life mission was to seek and save the lost. He did that with 12 Disciples, that he trained and taught to do the same. I doubt that Jesus wanted that to sop with them. We need to do it TODAY... and in order to get it done we have to operate as ONE

    Operating as one Philippians 2 [1-11] 1 Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and ...read more

    There is a direct correlation between the effectiveness of our mission and how we treat each other. We must be the church before we can build the church. We must care for one another before we can hope to reach this community and county for Christ

    Mayor Gerardo Balmori The Salvation Army As we continue in our series through the Book of Nehemiah, we’ve learned that Nehemiah confronted a different challenge in each chapter: • In chapter one, he was faced with a personal challenge.

    Satan wants to "cut" the devotion of every spiritual Nazarite. He does it by severing your prayer life, devotional time, by some sin, etc. There's hope though. Samson's hair grew again and he was restored to his mission You can too!

    Decision Time

    This is a revival message, getting the Church right with God. We are in the last days and it is time the Church starts being the Church. Too many churches are going through the motions. They have zero outreach in their own communities. Oh they give to foreign missions but do nothing at home.

    Joshua 24: Decision Time This is a message that everyone here tonight will make a decision. Though it may never be made public God will know your decision. He will know if you as an individual will serve him and if this church, as a whole, will serve him. The word serve is used 413 times ...read more

    Jesus teaches about God's kingdom and that someday, he will rule forever as prophesied in scripture. Jesus is the promised saviour and king we are waiting for. He proves this by his resurrection and gives his disciples a final message and mission in the Great Commission.

    Ask and Receive: Teachings on Prayer One day, Jesus was praying by himself and when he had finished praying, his disciples came to him and said, “Jesus, teach us how to pray.” Jesus said, “When you pray, pray like this. ‘Father, may your name be honoured.

    Mark concludes his Gospel in chapter 16 with the angel's announcement at the empty tomb, and then the appearances to Mary, the two disciples, and then the eleven apostles. Finally, he declares Jesus return to heaven and His work in and through the apostles as they carried out His mission.

    More than any other time I wonder what we are known for? Those New Testament Christians were known for their resilience and unending mission to spread the gospel. But in the here and now - when the pressure of life is immense - what are we known for?

    WHAT ARE WE KNOWN FOR? 1 THESSALONIANS 1:1-10 Introduction The book of Acts serves as a history of the spreading flame of the gospel throughout the Roman empire and beyond. Thousands are baptized in Acts 2. Later we see the astounding conversion of the terrorist Saul of Tarsus. Persecution ...read more

     | 601 views

    Jesus came so that you might have life—true, abundant life. In contrast, Satan's mission is to rob you of that life. As John 10:10 tells us, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

    Jesus came into this world so that we would have new hope and new life. He said in John 10:10, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
