    Doom Or Deliverance

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 6, 2022
     | 1,318 views

    In this passage of Scripture, God is placing judgment on a sinful world. How long will today's Christians just sit idle on the seat of do nothing before they band together and pray for repentance and deliverance?

    Echo: The Abilities Of Visions

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Feb 7, 2022
     | 1,925 views

    Oh, here comes the dreamer... 13 long years before the dreams become a reality. We seem to focus on the temporal not the eternal. May we open our eyes to see what God is doing.

    ECHO… THE ABILITIES OF VISION… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (I do this in 2 parts) I once read a lesson about this man, Simeon, he was a shepherd that lived in 390 A.D.

    Asking For Your Inheritance

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 8,619 views

    Our greatest treasure, the inheritance that we seek, isn’t down here: not in the stuff, not in the people, not in the honours. But seek God. Desire Him. Long for the one inheritance that is incorruptible, that is undefiled, and that does not fade away.

    They say that children should never talk about their inheritance. Sure, one day Mom and Dad might leave something to the kids. But until that day, children shouldn’t worry about what they’ll receive, or daydream about how to spend it. We know what happened to the Prodigal Son, when he started ...read more

    Mountaintop Vision Of Jesus

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 13, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,624 views

    Jesus doesn’t stand in a long line of peers with Abraham, Buddha, Confucius, Krishna, or Mohammed. Jesus Christ is utterly unique. The Transfiguration reveals a turning point in human history, the coming of the Savior of the world!

    MOUNTAINTOP VISION OF JESUS Lk. 9:28-36 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. There was a man whose wife refused to admit she had hearing problem. He asked his doctor, "How can I get my wife to admit that she’s hard of hearing?" 2. The doctor said, "When you get home tonight, stand just ...read more

    Joseph - From Petted Child To Inmate Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Dec 26, 2024
     | 515 views

    Joseph came from a long line of spectacular failures. Lies. Deceit. Theft. Favoritism. Greed. Lust. Murder. You name the sin and we will probably find it somewhere in Joseph’s Family Tree.

    January 11, 2025 As we approach the end of Genesis, there is one conclusion we can come to – People struggle. More often than not, when faced with a moral or ethical choice our list of characters failed. And they did so in spectacular fashion. Joseph came from a long line of spectacular ...read more

     | 860 views

    As long as we live in this world, our lives are part of a greater journey—a journey of faith, hope, and purpose. When we look closely at the Christmas narrative, we realize that it is also a story of journeys.

    From The Unknown To The Known God

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 219 views

    Believers are to engage an idol-filled modern culture with the same wisdom, compassion, and courageous clarity Paul displayed in Athens—understanding people’s longings, building bridges to the truth, and faithfully proclaiming the risen Christ!

    How do we, as Christ’s ambassadors, engage a modern culture with wisdom, courage, and gentleness—so that the gospel is not just another opinion in the noise, but a message carried on “beautiful feet” bringing good news? Everywhere we look, the signs of moral fracture are ...read more

    Even when the storms of life seem long and overwhelming, God is working behind the scenes to bring the waters down. Your ark will rest again, and what drowned your past will not drown your future.

    Genesis 8: God Remembers and Restores Summary Genesis chapter 8 records the turning point of the flood narrative. After months of judgment and global destruction, the chapter opens with a profound statement: God remembered Noah. This does not mean God had forgotten him, but that God chose to ...read more

    Many People have lost the wine anointing of the Holy Spirit, Unfortunately there is often a long time between the time we lose something and the time we begin to miss it, and then eventually wish for it back again.

    Israel like America receiving wake up calls from God, repented and changed in the short term. Why do we follow this pattern and what can bring about permanent long term change?

    Elijah’s words to Israel are the same words that I have to speak to the church today. How long will you halt between two opinions? It’s time to get the right opinion and serve the Lord.

    WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? By Pastor Jim May One of the greatest prophets who ever lived was Elijah. Here was a real man of God. Not much is known of Elijah’s family roots.
