House Party Series

Contributed by Brian Keith on Jun 17, 2013

Impact City is a siren to today's church, encouraging both the new and mature Believer to consider being multi-task oriented when engaging with lost people who feel disconnected from the local church. A focus on the Great Commision and Mission is the key.

What Believers Aren't

Contributed by Richard A. Bradley on Mar 6, 2012

In this passage Paul is very descriptive of what believers should not be or what they should not do. The redeemed church must be something different than the lost world. How different should we be? Paul tells us in Titus 3:1-3.

WHAT BELIEVERS AREN’T Titus 3:1-3 1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, ...read more

How Jesus Sought A Sinner

Contributed by John White on Jul 26, 2018

it should be informative to have a look at just one example of Jesus seeking a sinner. In doing so, we need to remember that this is just one example. The entire ministry of our Lord seems to be focused upon seeking those sinners who are lost.

How Jesus Sought A Sinner Luke 19:1-10 "And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. ...read more

"finding Our Way Home"

Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 17, 2020

We actually have three stories being told here. Three stories. One parable. One big truth and here it is. Lost things matter to God. As a result, God spends a great deal of time looking for his people.

Growing Deeper Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 11, 2024

We're at war with Satan, but too often churches ignore the conflict and avoid doing what has to be done to tear down the gates of Hell. What can we do to avoid going AWOL in this great battle for the souls of the lost?

When I went to Israel, I visited a place about 25 miles north of the Sea of Galilee called Caesarea Philippi. The area lays in the shadow of Mt. Hermon, whose ice caps (when they melt) supply clean fresh springs for the waters of the Jordan River. This abundant water supply made the area fertile ...read more

Miracles

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 19, 2022

This morning we take up the story again of the amazing things that happened as Jesus traveled from town to town in Israel, announcing and demonstrating the kingdom of God.
