    Today's sermon is a part of our series on "The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit." In this message we look at the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and how, through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, we can have a fresh flow of God in our lives

    Resting And Relaxing In God Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 2, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 24,512 views

    Physical rest and spiritual rest are essential for each and every one of us. God has given you the freedom to choose to rest, to be still, to know that God is God.

    We continue in our series on Hope Found Here and it’s apt that this month we are going to be thinking about resting and relaxing in God. “Rest” is defined as “peace, ease or refreshment.” “Relax” means “to become loose or less firm, to have a milder manner, to be less stiff.” What does the Bible ...read more

    Overcoming The Bitter Root

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,528 views

    Bitterness arises from failing to forgive someone who has wronged you. It comes from clinging to bad memories or hurtful experiences from the past and not letting them go. Many times bitterness will give rise to vengeance.

    Our sermon this morning is entitled, “Overcoming the Bitter Root.” Bitterness can be defined as harboring resentment and unforgiveness in our heart toward another person. Bitterness is also defined as, “extreme enmity,” “a grudge,” or “hatred.”(1) The meaning of the word bitter itself is, “sharp ...read more

    Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

     | 3,510 views

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more

    Waiting On God's Strength

    Contributed by Claude White on Aug 15, 2023
     | 4,114 views

    In our faith journey, we often face weariness, doubt, and discouragement. We may feel as if our strength is failing, and the challenges before us seem insurmountable. But amid these struggles, Isaiah reminds us that God is always near, ready to renew our strength and empower us to overcome.

    Waiting on God's Strength ? Isaiah 40:27–31 (ESV) ? 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God"? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the ...read more

    This message is about the power of the blood of Jesus to literally change our lives.

    There Is Power In The Blood Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-28; First Peter 1:13-19; Romans 5:9 When I was growing up in Church, we sang songs about the blood of Jesus.

    No Hometown Hero

     | 278 views

    Some people return home to a hero's welcome, but when Jesus returned to Nazareth, His reception was just the opposite! This message does a deep dive into the possible reasons for this terrible welcome.

    I have entitled our message today, “No Hometown Hero.” This term is often used for an athlete who plays for their home team, having a major impact, like helping them win a championship. This athlete then goes off to play college or professional sports; and when he or she later returns to become a ...read more

    THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FASTING DURING PRAYER - HELPFUL GUIDELINES & HEALTH TIPS

    A. By fasting your saying, "I am serious, Lord." The Bible says to break up fallow ground. When a field isn’t plowed, a hard crust forms. Without exception, all of us get a crust on our spirit. But the promise is that when we break up that fallow ground and seek the Lord, "He comes and showers ...read more
