    Before we go into battle, we must be equipped for battle. A soldier in battle with his/her weapons, is like a lamb in a field with the wolves. Get yourselves armed and prepare yourselves for battle!

    As I was listening to the news about the Middle East conflict dealing with Sadaam Hussein, I began to look at how the United States was getting their forces ready and in place to go to war. But before a soldier can be allowed to be an active member of the armed forces, he or she must under go ...read more

    We receive the Holy Spirit as Christians, but how do we tap into that power to do God’s Work?

    BE FILLED Last week we talked about the Holy Spirit and how we possess the same power that the 1st apostles possessed. We discussed how in order to be the Christ’s light in the world we need to be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Today, I want to talk about how we go about tapping into that power. ...read more

    The Power to Be Perfect Acts2:1-12 Today is Pentecost Sunday. What comes to mind when you hear the word Pentecost? Pentecostal? Do you think of strange other-worldly languages, dancing in the aisles and jumping over pews? Often the day of Pentecost that we just read ...read more

    A sermon for Pentecost, this message seeks to lift out the expository truths of Acts 2.1-21 and apply them for contemporary life.

    Introduction to the Scripture I leave our series on Mark this week for a message on Pentecost and next week for a message on FatherÕs Day. FatherÕs Day is a holiday we know about, but many of us may have no idea what Pentecost is all about much less that it could be a holiday! Last week, one of ...read more

    The Greatest Power Is Often Simple Patience Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 15, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,541 views

    Life outside of Christ, Paul says. It’s angry life. Its confrontational politics and caustic talk shows. It’s accusatory e-mails that appear to have been sent from a flamethrower. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with patience.

    Opening illustration: This past week I read about a first-grade teacher who was having a difficult day. It had rained that entire day and the children couldn’t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn’t wait for the bell to ring ...read more

    A backwards look at what Christianity is supposed to look like.

    A young pastor was frustrated by how things weren’t “happening” in his church and so he asked one of the deacons what the problem was. “Is it ignorance or is it apathy?” he asked. The deacon responded, “I don’t know, and I don’t care.” Look, we’ve been in the church long enough that we know what ...read more

    How God annoints our actions

    Matt.25:1 shares of the neccessary element of oil needed in each believers life, but I’d like to go even further with this. For instance the Garden of Gethsemine. Geth meaning press, seminole meaning oil. Gethsemine was a well known for its olive groves, which they used to press out that precious ...read more

     | 8,587 views

    When we feel insecure, we back off from situations. But when the Holy Spirit comes, there is passion, there is witness.

    Is everybody cool? Is everybody cool? I am not referring to the temperature in the building, but to the climate in your soul! Are you cool? “Cool” is an all-purpose word, used to describe a certain attitude. Instead of defining it, let me illustrate it. I was attending a repast at a family ...read more

    Moses had to back slide so the church would accept him but most Christians have their church masks on still today.

    "When the Glory is faded" Exodus 34:29-35 (Face the Music) When Moses encountered the Lord on Mount Horeb his very appearance was changed and his face shone from the glory of being in the presence of God in such a way that nobody could stand to look at him unless he veiled or covered his ...read more

    A Fresh Anointing Today, I am going to be talking about the anointing, and staying filled with the Holy Ghost. How many of our problems would be solved if we just had a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We know from the word of God that it is His will that all be filled with the ...read more
