A Risen Redeemer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

We want to consider the great story of the resurrection from the point of view of two groups of people. Both groups are believers, but Mark's account first deals with the experience of the women, and then of the men.

Back in 1851 two missionaries, one English and the other American, were walking past the temple of Siva in Tanjore, India. They noticed the people carrying out one of the brass idols. It was a hot sunny day and the idol had become heated. One of the worshippers happened to touch it, and ...read more

The Reality Of Resurrection Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

G. Campbell Morgan said, "The resurrection is a fact that cannot be proved except to the faith of the heart." The evidence must be approached with faith, or it will not convince the skeptic.

Ministers frequently call at a home when the man alone is there, and he will respond in some such manner as this: "I'm sorry my wife isn't home. She takes care of the religious matters in our home." I have not just read about this, but have experienced it, and have wondered how ...read more

The Ultimate Healing Mark Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

Jesus was the only resurrection that could be called a cure, for it was a permanent victory over death, and, therefore, the resurrection of Jesus was the ultimate healing.

Pat Boone in his book A Miracle A Day Keeps The Devil Away tells of some very spectacular examples of the hand of God in history. His friend Tay Garnett, who is a film director, was showing the stunt driver in a mountain chase scene what he wanted. He drove the car right up to the edge of the ...read more

The Great Commission

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

From three of the gospel writers we find “four” accounts of the Great Commission. As we examine each account, we gain a better understanding of what Jesus requires, and what we are able to accomplish through the Lord’s power.

This morning we are going to look at four separate passages on what is known among believers as The Great Commission. The Great Commission is all about missions, since the word “commission” contains the word “mission” in it. Now, that word “commission” means, “charge, order, or mandate.”(1) This ...read more

"Releasing Your Destiny” Pt.8 Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Mar 3, 2022

We have to share and write the vision in clear and simple ways so that the believers can see it and run with it. We have to get them to see what we are seeing from the Lord.

This message marks the end of the Vision series. I know that it has felt like the eternal series, but I pray that you have been inspired and blessed by this series. For several weeks now I have been writing out the vision of this house so that when you read it and hear it you may run with it. The ...read more

The Relevance Of Wonders

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 23, 2022

Many churches are asking why they are not growing and why their outreach efforts seem so ineffective. Evangelism is most effective when the proclamation of the gospel is accompanied by a demonstration of signs and wonders.

Ministry and evangelism can be difficult in a country like America that holds a western worldview. The reason why is because people’s skepticism and unbelief concerning “the unseen” and “the miraculous” can limit church growth. God has bestowed on His people authority and power to see souls saved ...read more

It’s Mine… You Can’t Have It

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

Most adults enjoy being around children because they simply tell it like it is.

Illus: Years ago Art Linkletter hosted the television program called, "Kids Say the Darndest Things." On his show he would ask them simple questions about life, and these children would give him answers that often brought the show to a halt with laughter. • One father also was going ...read more

Who Will Roll Away The Stone? (Easter Sunrise 2015)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 6, 2022

We seem to need the evidence of the stone being rolled away before we will believe. Is our fear creating distance between who we are and who God wants us to be?

WHO WILL ROLL AWAY THE STONE? Text: Mark 16:1- 20 Did you notice who saw Jesus first? Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome were wondering who would roll the stone away. That stone can be thought of as a metaphor---a barrier between belief and unbelief. As ...read more

The Church Has Left The Building Series

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Sep 21, 2020

Many of the churches -- and by churches, I mean Christians -- have forgotten the church is meant to thrive outside the walls of the church house by serving others and by being a means of God’s Grace. It is time for the Church to leave the building.

TITLE: THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:15 On last Sunday I preached from the subject “THE CHURCH” – this morning I want to continue that message or Part-II and tag this message – “THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.” I remember when I was still relatively young, Elvis ...read more

This passage is a summary of the forty days from Easter to Ascension (Acts 1:3), and beyond that to the application of the Great Commission.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BELIEVING. Mark 16:9-20. We start with a resounding statement of fact: “Jesus was risen early on the first day of the week” (Mark 16:9a)!

Why We Are Here

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021

I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

The Ascension--More Than A Big Show Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 12, 2021

In faith we tell God, “I believe this because you have revealed it for my good, even and especially when I can’t understand it.”

Ascension Day 2021 “You’ve got to be kidding. This is impossible. It’s all impossible.” That’s what the skeptic is bound to say about everything we’ve been reading since Good Friday. Jesus was nailed to a cross, pierced in His heart, dead as the lambs being sacrificed at the same time in the ...read more
