    based on 8 ratings
     | 20,892 views

    Easter is all about "accounting". When most people think about going to heaven, they count their good deeds... but God doesn't do it that way. How do we prepare ourselves for standing before the one to Whom we must give an accounting?

    OPEN: There’s been a story in the news recently about the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, otherwise known as HUD. Apparently HUD has had a problem balancing their books. It seems their books were off about (PAUSE) $516 BILLION dollars. Now that’s not an error of a few 100,000 dollars… or ...read more

    6 Elements To Warfare Prayer Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 1, 2022
     | 5,310 views

    Daniel prayed with resolve—he set his face. He prayed with tremendous reflection—he looked upon God. I hate to say, and so much of my prayer is casual prayer, prayer that comes with almost a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. God is calling us at this late hour to pray with serious concentration.

    Americans are riddled with anxiety. Many of you are full of anxious thoughts throughout the night. Many of us feel an impending sense of danger just around the corner. For some, this apprehension is about their jobs, their marriage and their children. Most of us think if we had a little more money, ...read more

     | 1,294 views

    Most people who are enslaved know they are slaves. The girl who is abducted and taken into the worldwide human trafficking ring knows she’s a slave. You don’t have to tell her this. But there is a kind of slavery where people don’t fully realize they are enslaved.

    Today, I want to speak to you about “4 Controversial Uncompromising Life-Changing Truths” from the lips of Jesus Himself. These 4 truths are unpopular for many. They are likely to start a good argument at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Many of these, if not all of these, run against the current ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 28, 2025
     | 178 views

    The ground was cursed because sin destroyed the harmony in God’s creation. In Part 1 we began the subject, and in this Part 2 we continue with the way Christ identified with the curse and now has restored to us acceptance and spiritual blessings. God has restored more than Adam knew.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – CURSED – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 6 We continue the third consequence of sin which is CURSE, for sin produced cursing in the earth – the ground, and on creation. Last time we had covered the ruined serenity of Eden, then the results of sin (the curse this time) and we ...read more

    The one thing Satan does not want is a Christian who is willing to stand on the Word of God regardless of the cost.

    The message this morning is “The enemy hates Hupomone.” Well, Bro. Barry, what is Hupomone? Hupomone is what we see in the life of Jesus. Hupomone is what we see in the life of the Apostle Paul. Hupomone is what we see in all those who say they are disciples of Jesus. In the Bible, Hupomone is ...read more
