    Stop Telling God What To Do

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 135 views

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

    There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is given to empower Jesus' people for ministry and witness.

    Jesus is Alive! Most of your Bibles will reveal that the title “Acts” that we commonly use is just the shortened version of a longer title that has been given to the book. The full title given to this book is The Acts of the Apostles. It is called such because the content of the book ...read more

    Who are the "poor in spirit"? Are they rich people with a poverty mentality? Are they poor people who are discouraged? Are they people who don’t have the strength of mind to make it in the world and Jesus wants to take them out?

    Matthew 5 - Part 2 - So all of a sudden Bankruptsy is OK? When we lived in the Ukraine for a month, we witnessed incredible poverty. The beautifully ornate Churches over there have domes which are actually covered in gold leaf, but under them are the beggars. Such a contrast. I noticed at one ...read more

    Spiritual Networth

    Contributed by John Roy on Oct 26, 2016
     | 7,423 views

    Are we material people trapped in spiritual bodies, or spiritual people trapped in material bodies? This sermon asserts that we need to be concerned about our spiritual net worth, because we are spiritual people.

    From time to time I suspect people review their finances. In those reviews, they may take a moment to calculate their net worth. Our financial net worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities. Put another way, net worth is what is owned minus what is owed. The value of ...read more

    Some people have turned ministry into a cash cow. Some people have just fleeced the sheep. Some people have completely overcompensated themselves, and they have found a great way to work the system.

God willing, we’ll discuss divorce, singleness, the resurrection, idolatry, spiritual gifts, tongues, love, and money in the weeks to come as we move line by line, sentence by sentence through this New Testament letter.
