Abundant Life

Contributed by Tony Abram on Feb 24, 2010

Many messages have been preached on John 10:10 telling of the great prosperity that God wants us to have. Even though God wants to bless His people there is more to this message of Abundant Life than just a lot of money. We have Jesus points out who tries

A Prayer Over You

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 29, 2013

Instead of praying that God would just wrap us all up in bubble wrap so we never feel any pain or have any problems, it might help us to look at the prayers that are prayed in the Bible. In Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonian Christians, we can learn a lot

A Prayer Over You 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus ...read more

What's More Important: You Or The Gospel? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 18, 2011

We have a lot of sources that would like us to imitate them: sports stars, movie stars, politicians, movers and shakers, even religious icons and leaders. Though we know we should imitate Jesus Christ, it is often hard for us to do that because He isn't h

In the latter half of chapter 10 Paul comes back to the argument he was making in 8 about food offered to idols. The Corinthians were arguing with Paul that because idols aren’t anything, and certainly aren’t gods, that eating food sacrificed to them was of no consequence. Paul tells ...read more

How Can We Know If We Are Really Serving God?

Contributed by David Scudder on Jan 24, 2011

How can we know if we are really working for God? We could be doing things that God really doesn’t want us to do, or we could be doing the right things with a wrong motive. How tragic it would be to spend a lot of effort serving God and still not be pleas

Purpose: To show the evidences of serving God. Aim: I want the listener to pursue serving God in order to glorify God. INTRODUCTION: It is easy to SAY we are serving God when we really aren’t. But, it is also possible to put a lot of effort into doing a lot of good religious things and ...read more

Pt. 8 Healing Series

Contributed by Mike Fogerson on May 6, 2013

Our un-named Syrophoencian woman (Although called “Justa” by Constitine as early as the end of the 2nd century) had a lot going on. She was a woman, Gentile, desperate because her daughter was demon possessed.Scripture tells us she “cried out.”

Healing 8 A 21 Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed."23 But He did not answer her a word. And His ...read more

Strength With No Power

Contributed by Caleb Sowers on Dec 29, 2018

Power. The world puts a lot of value into the word. For us power can mean many things; the amount of influence a person has or the amount of physical capability a person possesses. It can mean how much a vehicle can move or haul, or the ability to influence world politics. It can mean many things.

I know a lot of people who are sports fans. Whether you are a fan of football, baseball, hockey, or soccer. Some people are fans of boxing, although I will admit I am more of a fan of UFC then boxing. And for every person who is a fan of a certain sport, they also have favorite teams and players. ...read more

Delays

Contributed by Lane Hastie on Feb 4, 2019

There are countless verses about the benefits of “waiting on the Lord,” BUT…I’ve found quoting the verses to be a whole lot easier than the actual “waiting on the Lord.” Sometimes it seems like God is running late. What’s the deal? Why is He making us wait? Why is He allowing this delay?

Serving The Lord With All Your Heart

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Nov 4, 2018

Brethren I believe there is a lot to serve God for, not because of what He has done for us but because of Who He is. Our God deserve an outstanding service from us because He is the best employer and He owns the best organisation you can ever work for in the world.

The book of Romans 12:11 analysed what it means to serve God with all our heart. It basically means to be fully devoted to God. It means to show enthusiasm in the things of God and be on fire for Him. I believe having a fully devoted heart is one of the characters we need to possess as a Christian. ...read more

Truth Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Apr 17, 2019

We come into this world with a lot to say. If you happen to live to age 70, during your lifetime, if you are an average talker (about 1600 words per day), you would have spoken 350 million words. Now some of the things that we say are more important than others.

INTRODUCTION: And at the other end of life, the final words of a person who are dying are equally important because they represent the things that are pressing on their heart as their life is nearing the end. Family and friends will gather around the dying person to make sure that they understand ...read more

"behold, Your Mother" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 8, 2019

We have all heard it said: “Ignorance is bliss.” If that were true, I should be experiencing a lot more bliss in my life than I am, Amen? When it comes to Mary, the mother of Jesus, however, I wouldn’t say that ignorance is bliss but I would say that innocence is

The Anointed King Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 5, 2017

Mary gave up a lot to show her love for Jesus. It can be costly to be a disciple. To come before God the Father without fear, with our sins removed wiped clean to live forever in his presence far outweighs anything we might give up out of our love for him

We were discussing in our staff meeting this week the question of how you decide what to leave in your will, and to whom, when you die. As I was thinking about that I wondered how many of us have ever sat down and thought about what our priorities are in life; and when we come to write a will, to ...read more

The Power Of Encouragement

Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Jan 10, 2012

Christians owe a lot to Barnabas. We owe Paul to him who went on to write 14 epistles. We also owe Mark to him who wrote the Gospel According to Mark. Thus, in a sense, we owe almost half of the New Testament to Barnabas, even if he did not write a singl

Intro: At the time of the writing of Hebrews, there was a great persecution. Our natural tendency during trials is to save our own skin or act to each his own. But Hebrews exhorts us to encourage one another. Encouragement is an act that helps someone be a better believer, even when life is rough ...read more

The Struggle With Stress Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

The fact that some stress is inevitable does not justify preventable stress. Paul said in Rom. 12:18, "If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all." The implication is clear: A peace maker can prevent a lot of stress in life if they really work at it.

The Characteristics Of A Godly Man

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jun 16, 2023

Dear friend, being born male is just the beginning. It takes a lot of hard work and courage to become a true man, especially one who follows the teachings of God. To truly understand what it means to be a real man, we need to examine the differences between being a male and being a mature man.

Why Did God Swear An Oath About Jesus’ Priesthood? - Psalm 101:4 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 19, 2025

We talk a lot about Jesus as the lamb who was the sacrifice for our sin. But what about his role as priest? How does his priestly work for you shake out on a daily basis? In this study, we're going to see a side of Christ you may not have considered.

Solid Food The last two sessions, we looked at the first half of Psalm 110 and the second half. The first half—Messiah rules among his enemies as sovereign king. Then verse 4 about priesthood in the order of Melchizedek. That verse is weird, doesn’t seem to fit the theme, strange reference to an ...read more
