    How to prepare for a miracle? Have a Vision to see it, be Obedient to go for it, ask for Faith to believe it, and stir up the Courage to do it by being a part of His plan for you.

    How to prepare for a miracle? Mark 6:34-44 How to prepare for a miracle? Notice I did not ask a question like this: “How to ASK for a miracle?” Asking God for a miracle may indicate a lack of faith. Our faith should not have to survive with a regular supply of the miraculous. There are times when ...read more

    God is working in this church, not because we’re special people, but because we’ve chose to be obedient to His call. That’s our choice. I invite you to become a total part of this family of faith and move ahead with us. We don’t know what the future holds

    Restoring the Spirit of Adventure Genesis 6:1-8 and 22 (John 10:10, Hebrews 11) One of our church members shared with me at one time and she said “I am 100%+ in favor of TIBC moving forward. I have been gravely concerned for several years about the way we have seemed to move only on those projects ...read more

    If we put our trust in Christ, we can always be hopeful. We are always hopeful. We cannot be hopeless. Why? Because of what God’s promised.

    How many of you would agree that life’s tough at times? Have you ever cried, "Doesn’t anyone care what happens to me, or what happens in my life?" Have you been lonely and isolated? We are living in a generation of hurting people who want to know that someone cares truly about them. Sometimes so ...read more

    based on 114 ratings
     | 12,068 views

    Third in the series "Meet the Cast." So often when we think of Satan we think of scary movies or evil atrocities in society. Though these may be evidence of Satan’s work, he does his best work looking good.

    I had the privilege of attending a screening of “The Passion of the Christ for Pastors only and was audience to an interview with Mel Gibson regarding his movie. He stated one of the most profound insights I have ever heard from any theologian, let alone a movie star. Mel was asked “Why was the ...read more

  • Mary: How To Trust God In Times Of Crisis Series

    Contributed by Rick Long on Feb 12, 2004
    based on 109 ratings
     | 23,506 views

    First in the series "Meet the Cast." Mary’s life as we see her through scripture and through this amazing film, teaches us a great deal about how to trust God in times of crisis.

    In Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of the Christ” we are introduced to the story of Jesus of Nazareth’s last 12 hours in a very vivid, graphic and brutally honest way. For many of us who have devoted our lives to sharing the gospel, this was, in some way, vindication. Because no matter how much ...read more

  • Peter: How To Overcome Despair In Times Of Failure Series

    based on 84 ratings
     | 13,004 views

    Second in the series "Meet the Cast." To really understand how to overcome despair in times of failure, we must see the transformation in Peter’s life after Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead.

    Thank God He uses failures! I’m not sure where I would be if God did not use people who continually mess up. I believe there is man in scripture who can totally relate to this. It’s Peter. As I read the accounts of Peter while he faithfully followed Jesus, I also see a passionate ...read more

  • Jesus: How To Be A Follower In Times Of Despair Series

    Contributed by Rick Long on Feb 12, 2004
    based on 79 ratings
     | 6,272 views

    Fourth in the series "Meet the Cast." As you study Jesus’ life you realize that even though He did not lay aside his deity, He did humble himself as a man, to serve all humanity. So Jesus understands what we are facing in our lives.

    I love the way “The Passion of The Christ” movie begins, with the reminder that 400 years before Jesus was born his sacrifice was foretold in a vivid way. Isaiah 53:5 (LB) But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed--and we were healed! ...read more

    Though we may forget God in our day-to-day activities, He is never gone. He awaits with forgiveness or with judgement; the choice is ours.

    Forgotten But Not Gone Jeremiah 3:21 “A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.” I.

     | 4,538 views

    When Jesus' followers give Him what they have, little though it is, He does a miracle and feeds many through them.

    The events in today's text took place at a pivotal time in the apostles' relationship with the Lord. They had just returned from their first "mission trip", when He had given them authority over unclean spirits and diseases and had sent them out to preach. They had a lot to tell Him, but there ...read more

     | 5,456 views

    A message that uses the parable of the Good Samaritan to explain the doctrine of Justification by Grace Through Faith.

    Our Bible passage today is one of the most celebrated and renowned of our Lord's stories, the parable of the Good Samaritan. Well-known as it is, though, I believe it has a point that's easy to miss. Let's give it a close look, and see if you agree. Our passage begins in Luke 10:25 when a lawyer ...read more

    Regardless of circumstance, everything changes for the better when God writes the simple word, "And".

    Genesis 1:1-2 "1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
