    What is a church? Is it a place for the religious and the ceremonial? Is it a place for history and tradition, Is it a place for socializing and cliques Or is it a place where the love of God is known,

     | 14,648 views

    We often hear the account of the dinner given for Jesus at Martha's house as a, "Mary was good and Martha was BAD" sort of idea. But, is that really the essence of what happened? Let's take a look ...

    Today we'll be taking a look at an interesting event which took place in Bethany at the home of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. So, let's get right into it, OK?

    God spoke to Joel to tell the people to renew, return to the Lord and rend their heart. The same message applies to us today. What are the Locust storms in our lives. Are we living whole-heartedly for god or is it time to return?

    In 1915 a plague of locusts covered Palestine and Syria from the border of Egypt to the Taurus Mountains. The first swarms appeared in March. These were adult locusts that came from the northeast and moved toward the southwest in clouds so thick they obscured the sun. The females were 2.5 to 3 ...read more

    Joseph's life was filled with turmoil. He was an abandoned by his brothers, became a slave, accused of rape, and imprisoned. And yet, Joseph handled all of these situations with absolute faith that God was with him.

    I want to ask you a question that can actually shape how you view all of life. Whether times are good, or times are bad, what would you do if you absolutely knew God was with you?

    Fidelity To God's Call

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Apr 1, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,391 views

    When we hear the word “prophet”, we often think of someone whose primary job is to tell the future. But prophets had a much more important job: they were called to bring the hard truth to God’s people, so that they would realize their need for reconciliation with God.

    INTRODUCTION When we hear the word “prophet”, we often think of someone whose primary job is to tell the future. We might equate the term with “soothsayer”, “seer,” or even in a non-Christian context, “fortune teller”. We most often judge a prophet by whether or not their words come true. There is ...read more

    The Ministry Of Signs And Wonders

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 8, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,947 views

    Jesus said the supernatural Signs and Wonders are to “accompany those who believe” (Mark 16:17a NIV), and they should be fully understood by every Christian that they are to accompany them wherever they are.

    Many within the church believe that after the Apostles died and their writings were collected in the New Testament, the place of Signs and Wonders in evangelism has passed, and Christians should not pursue them today. This does not mean miracles don't happen. It just says they are not the ...read more

    IMMEDIACY IN MARK When we read the Gospel of Mark, we read a story moving at breakneck speed. Mark is the shortest gospel, and in it we don’t find a genealogy, or narratives from his childhood, or even much of a prelude before Jesus is baptized. And once he is baptized, it seems like he is ...read more

    Living Life with a Purpose

    Intro: 1. John Piper noted: Pastors have the job of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. But ordinary Christians do the ministry.

    Jesus asked the question to the Scribes and Pharisees who were going through life filling squares and never having the heart right with Him.

    Today we are starting a new sermon series entitled: The Questions Jesus Asked. Jesus had a way of asking questions to which He fully knew the answers. The question Jesus asked where for our benefit, not his. Jesus being divine, He is all knowing, so in a sense, His questions are rhetorical. God ...read more
