The Power Of Prayer Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jun 21, 2023

Sermon # 7 - Throw-Off, Rebuild, Unite Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 11, 2024

The call of God to the church today is to cast off everything that hinders us from reaching our destination, to rebuild the broken altars, and to work towards the unity of the body of Christ. The coming of the Lord is near and the church must be ready to receive the bridegroom.

Sermon # 9 - Arise From Your Slumber Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 18, 2024

Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 3, 2024

When the King of Nineveh heard the preaching of Jonah and knew that God’s judgement was impending, he got off his throne and humbled himself before God, the King of kings. God must be enthroned in our hearts too and we must allow Him to rule over our lives.
