The King Is Coming Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 2, 2021

Kaiser Wilhelm II entered Jerusalem through the Jaffa gate mounted on a beautiful white horse. Nearly 2000 years before, Jesus had entered Jerusalem through the Eastern gate mounted upon a humble donkey. Two dignitaries entered the same city in two different ways. Why the differences?

OPEN: The last emperor of Germany was Kaiser Wilhelm II and, in 1898 he decided to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. At the time, the once great Jerusalem was in serious need of attention. So 6 months before the Kaiser’s scheduled arrival, the Sultan replaced the mayor of Jerusalem with a more ...read more

An Apostolic Attitude Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Success never went to Paul’s head. He could have stood on his dignity as an Apostle, and from a pedestal of superiority thrown his weight around, but he never did. Here again we see Paul’s absolute sincerity, for he knew he only had the position he did by the grace of God.

We have all heard it said that is doesn’t make any difference what you believe as long as you are sincere. This is true only if what you are talking about doesn’t make any difference. If you sincerely believe that white potatoes are better for you than red potatoes it will not make any great ...read more

Satan’s Hindrance Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul was no pessimist. He was hindered by Satan, but he never sat down and gave up. He didn’t get to do what he wanted, but Paul rejoiced in spite of his frustration because in spite of the hindrance he had perfect confidence that ultimate victory would be his.

Children are constantly coming up with that profound argument that they feel is an infallible guide to what ought to be-“But I wanna.” I remember explaining to Steven one time that we don’t always get to do what we want, and Cindy felt that was good advice. So the next time he was refused and ...read more

Preparation For Ministry 2: Understanding Power Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 11, 2021

The devil's offer of giving to Jesus authority over all the nations might have seemed like an easy shortcut to fulfill his calling, but of course, Jesus saw through the temptation of power. He saw power far above coercion. He saw the power of love and servanthood.

When you hear me say the word, “power,” I’ll bet it can stir up all sorts of feelings inside. On one hand it may bring memories of a time when someone used power over you in a painful and destructive way and you cringe a bit inside. On the other hand it may stir up a hope of having power ...read more

Shake It Off Series

Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 20, 2021

Faith does not stop you from getting bit – you can remove the teeth of foolishness – but you can’t remove the teeth of the world – but you CAN overcome it! It can become so engrained in you, the POWER of God – that it becomes second nature and muscle memory and you just DO what you always do!

Contributed by Gordon Weatherby on Apr 26, 2021

This message deals with John 6 and the feeding of the 5,000. Jesus was trying to get them to look beyond physical bread to the Bread Of Life. This was the climax of Jesus' popularity, and the point when many turned against him.

Whatever You Lose On Earth Shall Be Loosed In Heaven Series

Contributed by James Dina on Jan 18, 2022

God will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth. We have the privilege to "lose on earth" when we meet certain conditions – We must obey God’s commandment completely, PARTIAL OBEDIENCE IS ACTUAL DISOBEDIENCE.

"The Church – The Body Of Jesus On Earth”...... "The Mission Statement Of Jesus”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jan 20, 2022

The home coming of Jesus is similar to a 25th or 50th class reunion. Old playmates wanted demonstrations in their village, not the message of salvation. Leonard Sweet said: “Jesus is on earth today but not as an individual. He is here in the form of the “ekklesia”, the church.

The Rapture
