     | 1,354 views

    We all need to leave the next at some times, and live. Jesus needed his 70 disciples to leave, and preach the gospel. He also gave them instructions to help them do so.

You know: the Lion, symbolizing his supremacy and kingship; the Man, symbolizing the highest of intelligence; the Ox, for his lowly service, (a symbol which we like ...read more

    From the time we come to know the Lord, we are running the spiritual marathon He has marked out for us. Our concern is both to run the race well and to develop the next generation of runners.

     | 212 views

    Centurions were Roman army officers who supervised 100 soldiers. One of these men had a servant who was very sick so he asked Jesus to heal the servant. What happened next?

    A Roman Centurion’s Great Faith Introduction: The last half of Luke chapter 6 has the text of what some call “The Sermon on the Plateau” or the level place. There are a number of things similar, and different, than the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 but that’s not the point of this message. By ...read more

    Adonijah sought mercy and forgiveness while gripping the horns of the altar of sacrifice in the tabernacle. King Solomon had mercy upon his step-brother Adonijah. However...

    based on 4 ratings
     | 41,415 views

    The Christian life is supposed to be an adventure in which we walk by faith and step into the unknown. But we can't do that if our lack of faith keeps us in the boat.

    Introduction: A. Once there was a tourist who was taking a tour of biblical sites, when he came to a beach on the Sea of Galilee, he saw a boat and a sign advertising, “FREE BOAT RIDE TO THE EXACT PLACE WHERE JESUS AND PETER WALKED ON WATER!!!” 1.

    Purpose, Please Stand Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025
     | 80 views

    Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

    There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

    Gaslighting God

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Jan 9, 2024
     | 1,686 views

    This chapter can be a case of Gaslighting and false repentance by the people in an attempt to change the reality of their situation by minimizing their responsibility and blaming God. Some say it is a “Straw man” set up by the Prophet to be demolished by God’s answer in the next chapter.

    Well, it feels good to be back in this particular pulpit after 25 years! I want to thank Pastor Caleb for the opportunity. Please turn to Isaiah 64. Hear now the word of the Lord. May God be blessed with the reading of His word. Please join in prayer. Before I get to looking at the chapter, I ...read more
