    Roll-Over Prayer

     | 10,033 views

    We all have circumstances in our lives when we feel that there is no way out. King David experienced similar feelings.

    “ROLL-OVER PRAYER” Psalm 69 Have you ever come close to drowning (or at least THOUGHT you were drowning)? I can remember as a young boy, swimming in a big tire tube as it rolled over and pushed my face into the water so that I could not raise my head. I could not move forward or ...read more

    A sermon about spiritual gifts in relation to Moses.

    "What Should I do with the Life God Gave Me: The Bush is Still Burning" Exodus 3:1-4:13 Sometimes when we wake up in the morning and take a look at ourselves in the mirror we might not like some of the things we see. Perhaps we become self-critical of the things we don't like about ...read more

    When our spiritual tanks are bone dry, God by His Spirit stands ready to fill to us overflowing.

    August 28, 2011 – “Strengthened, Established and Filled” – Ephesians 3:16-19 Charles Price, pastor of People’s Church in Toronto, says that verses 16-19 of Ephesians 3 is one prayer that you don’t really need to add: “…If it is Your will”, or ...read more

    Sunday Elders And Sundry Exhortations Series

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Aug 29, 2011
    based on 19 ratings
     | 9,021 views

    Paul gives instructions about elders and then various or sundry exhortations on several subjects. 1- Consider elders as worthy 2- Partake not in the sins of others 3- Remember the judgment

    INTRO.- What’s the difference between Sunday and sundry? A change of letters. But what’s the real difference? Sunday is important to the Christian because it’s considered in scripture as the first day of the week, resurrection day and the day the early Christians partook of the Lord’s Day. (Acts ...read more

    Enslaved Series

     | 9,235 views

    Paul mentioned two distinct areas where we are often under a yoke of slavery. 1- Enslaved to work 2- Enslaved to false thinking

    INTRO.- Enslaved. That word doesn’t sound very good. We don’t like to think we’re enslaved to anything or anyone. But all of us are under a yoke of slavery, in a sense. Do you drink coffee? Do you like it? Can you go without it? Can you start your morning without it? ILL.- Someone wrote ...read more

    Daniel Fasting

    We are not boldly able to look straight at the face of kings and say, ‘look, this is what God is telling you’ because we chat more on face book rather than with God like Daniel!

    You are greatly loved! Daniel 9:3 ‘And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes..’ Friend, the reason for our mediocre lives, broken homes and debt-drenched lives is because we read more of ‘how to become rich ...read more

     | 22,701 views

    n difficult situations, it’s easy to say we trust God and yet try to handle things ourselves without turning to Him and His Word. This is masked unbelief. Although God is constantly working, He allows us to set a limit on the degree of work He does ...

    Opening illustration: A child once asked, “What does God do all day?” If the answer to that question depended on how much we allow God to do in our individual lives, some of us would have to reply, “Not much!” In difficult situations, it’s easy to say we trust God and ...read more

    How the Story of the adulterous woman is a fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles, and foreshadows the return of Jesus to Jerusalem.

    THE LIVING WATER John 7:1, After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see ...read more

    Belshazzar, the king, threw one of the grandest parties that had ever been given up to that time.

    It is significant for three reasons. (1) It is noted for WHO GAVE IT. Look at verse 1. We read, “Belshazzar the king made a great feast...” (2) It is noted for THE LARGE ATTENDANCE. Look at verse 1 again. We read, “Belshazzar the king made a great feast to A THOUSAND OF HIS ...read more

    From House To House

     | 5,566 views

    Based on a New Testament understanding of a church, and based on the ministry of the early apostles, we learn that believers did not always assemble in a public place of worship. Much of the time they met in one another’s homes.

    This morning I want to address the topic of “doing church.” and I’m going to begin by asking the question, “Where are Christians supposed to assemble together for worship and fellowship?” In Acts 17:24, Paul declared, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and ...read more
