"sardines, Biscuits, And Thee Bread Of Life" (Message 14 -- Gospel Of John 2021) Series

Contributed by Gordon Weatherby on Apr 26, 2021

This message deals with John 6 and the feeding of the 5,000. Jesus was trying to get them to look beyond physical bread to the Bread Of Life. This was the climax of Jesus' popularity, and the point when many turned against him.

Rising From Life's Difficulties

Felix Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 11, 2022

Felix represents many people intrigued by the gospel but recognizes that surrendering to it means losing status, power, or control of their own lives. Mere exposure to truth does not necessarily enlighten the heart, and Felix is an excellent example of that.

Felix Felix was Festus' predecessor. He imprisoned Paul but allowed him to speak in his defense. He hoped Paul would offer him a bribe, but he never did. Festus thought Paul was delusional, but he did not think that was cause for putting him to death or locking him up, so he let him ...read more

Declarations That Defeat Us

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 25, 2019

Far too many Christians are defeating themselves. And they’re doing it with words. This message looks at Numbers 13 and 14, a passage about the spies sent to verify what God said about the Promised Land.

Are we ready to get into the Word? If you have markers, put one in Deuteronomy 1 and in Hebrews 3. We’re going to open tonight in Numbers 13. The greatest struggle for most Christians is their declarations. Tonight, we’re going to talk about “Declarations That Defeat Us.” We’re going to look at a ...read more

Come Out From Among Them Series

Contributed by Nathan Johnson on Dec 31, 2007

Separation is such an ugly word to many in Christianity today. We want to be inclusive. But have we become so inclusive that we have forgotten that purity in God’s church and God’s people is of more value to God than surrendering standards for some so c

Man Of God From Judah – Part 1

Contributed by Samuel M on Mar 7, 2025

In this season, God is raising and sending many men of God, armed with a word from Him and raw power and authority(to back it up), to expose the deception of all Jeroboam’s and cleanse God's altars.

In this generation, there is so much of strange fire and incense burning on God’s altars. Because of this strange fire, people are living strange lives. There is no fruit of God’s Holiness that leads to Holy living. A person in sin continue live in sin in spite of coming to the church regularly. ...read more

Who We Are!

Restoring Responsibility Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Dec 1, 2007

Many people think all that’s involved in being a Christian is walking an aisle or praying a prayer. That might be how God called you to salvation, but that’s not the end of it. Responsibilities come with being a Christian.

The Power Of His Name Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Aug 10, 2014

The Devil Goes To Church!
