    A Baptism By Fire

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 28, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,708 views

    Fire is a fierce, frightening force and we do not usually associate it with Jesus. However, this message shows how Jesus came bringing what John the Baptist calls an “unquenchable fire,” referring to God's judgement.

    A teenager walked into the local Catholic church and sat down in the confessional booth. He wanted to talk about how strict his mother had been with discipline, as he was seeking a sympathetic ear. The session began with the priest asking, “What would you like to confess, my son?” The young man ...read more

    In this conversation we will see 4 things that this encounter that John the Baptist had with Jesus 2000 years ago, reveals about FAITH… and about those times when we are not so sure or certain anymore, because things are not going as we expected.

    Jesus, Are You The One? Powerful Passages OKAY – this morning (10/3/2021) we are going to unpack another powerful passage from the Living and Active, sharper than a double edge sword, able to equip us for every good work… Word of God.

    God Abides In Small Places

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

    When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

    I have entitled our message for this evening, “God Abides in Small Places.” Abide means, to dwell and to continue in a place. The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

    The Visible Evidence Of Christian Maturity: The Production Of Spiritual Fruit

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 3, 2022
     | 1,801 views

    John 15 presents the themes of fruit-bearing, or the visible evidence of true faith and obedience Jesus demands of those who follow Him (Matthew 10:34-39, Luke 14:25-33). Fruit-bearing Christians, or those who do the work of the LORD, will be blessed by Him and hated by the world.

    The German pastor and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), in his book, "The Cost of Discipleship" opened the first chapter with these words; " When a man comes to Christ, He bids him come and die." Bonhoeffer lived by his own words as he lingered in a concentration camp, ...read more

    Reigniting Your Life

    This message is about getting reigniting for God, filled and overflowing with faith, hope, and love. Everyone is experiencing difficult times that sometimes taken our breath away. And what we need is that divine spark from God to get ourselves reignited to move forward in faith and in hope.

    Reigniting Your Life Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HArX_wEUoFs In last week’s message we looked at our need to have our lives reset back to God’s original design or setting, and then we looked at how that reset happens. At the end I gave a series of steps, and in the last step we ...read more

    How do we live in harmony? The secret is in the Lord’s Prayer, the beautiful prayer of the end-times that we recite in one voice every time we gather for Liturgy.

    2nd Sunday of Advent With this great reading about John the Baptist from Matthew’s Gospel, you probably expect me to sermonize on repenting of sin as a preparation for Christmas. You might anticipate an exhortation to examine your consciences, identify those actions and attitudes that estrange ...read more

    John, Mary, Jesus. Would any of us doubt that they were blessed, blessed by their faith in the enduring presence and redemption of God?

    Sixth Sunday in Course year C There is a very unexpected expression in today’s reading from St. Luke. The most literal translation reads: Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that ...read more

    What does true repentance look like? This message is based on John's ministry against a backdrop of political turmoil and religious oppression.

    Introduction We’ve spent the last few months leading up to Christmas and the birth of Christ talking about how the world was being prepared by God religiously and geopolitically for the arrival of Christ. We saw prophetic fulfillment and covenantal fulfillment through the coming of Jesus Christ, ...read more

    "am I Truly Jesus Focused"

    Contributed by Brad King on Dec 28, 2020

     | 2,335 views

    It is easy to assert that it is all about Jesus. Sometimes we believe that our focus is sincerely upon the person and work of Christ. But, is it? John the Baptist was Jesus focused, but when are we? Matthew 3:1-17 provides five moments when we are Jesus focused.

    1. We are focusing on Jesus when we call people to repentance. Mt. 3:1-2; Mt. 4:17 2. We are focusing on Jesus when we clarify his identity. Mt. 3:3; Is. 40:3; Mt. 16:13 3. We are focusing on Jesus when we complete our God given tasks. Mt. 3:4-6 4. We are focusing on Jesus when we ...read more

     | 4,128 views

    This is a short sermon that outlines some important facts about Baptism with the Holy Spirit. I pray you are blessed by it.

    The period between the resurrection and Pentecost is a period of spiritual intensity. It requires an intense spiritual response from us. For us Christians, that intensity does not come from ourselves for we can of ourselves do nothing. We need to depend on the Lord and avail ourselves for Him to ...read more

    This sermon deals with the Man Nicodemus as he came to Christ, and Jesus pointing him to a future time three and a half years later when he would see Jesus hanging on a cross.

    Last week we talked about having complete joy, complete unity and completing the task. Today we conclude by looking at how God's love is made complete in us, having complete faith and being complete Christians.

    COMPLETELY (part two) Last week we talked about having complete joy, complete unity and completing the task.

    Delusions That Defy Common Sense

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 16, 2021
     | 2,270 views

    The world system and all who live by it apart are deluded by both the devil and their own depraved minds. They believe they have everything figured out and can live without the intervention of God Almighty. Scripture proves otherwise.

    The apostle Paul told the church at Corinth that there is a time to put away childish things and assume the maturity and responsibility expected of an adult or mature young person (1 Corinthians 13:11). The time comes for everyone to grow up and realize that the world and all you know does not ...read more
