Whose Manifestations Are You Believing?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 24, 2021

If it does not match up with the Word then whatever you are experiencing or seeing is iniquity.

Is not ironic that God leads us away from materialism yet in some places He is reported to manifest His presence with gold dust and diamonds? Angels are spiritual beings though they can manifest to haul Lot and his family out of Sodom and cook for Elijah. Yet, in all the manifestations of ...read more

The Fragrance Of Worship Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 20, 2015

Jesus shows us clearly the result of forgiveness is love and worship. The woman who anointed Him anointed him with her future and her singleness. Ask yourself what is your fragrant oil.

Intro: If you remember from last week Jesus went to place He shouldn’t be to talk to a woman He shouldn’t talk to. He used that woman to teach us what true worship is. Here we go again! It seems like Jesus is completely happy to tear down our ideas and presumptions about who should ...read more

Being Fillled With The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Jun 3, 2008

As Christians we have the Holy Spirit but aren’t necessarily "filled" with the Spirit because we quench the Spirit’s work. Sermon concludes with an invitation to be filled with the Spirit, through prayer and annointing with oil.

Have you ever thought to yourself: “I read the Bible and go to church, why don’t I see any positive changes in my life?” “Why am I still struggling with a particular sin or sins even though I keep trying to repent and give it to God?” “Why am I not seeing healing whether physically, spiritually, ...read more

Needful Things

Contributed by John D Jones on Sep 7, 2011

Life is complex but Jesus narrows all of our Christianity down to one needful thing. True worship is like oil in the lantern -you can burn without out it but you cannot sustain the fire.

Everywhere He went there where multitudes of people calling for His attention. His ministry was teeming with activity. He had to stay up into the wee ...read more

Penetrating Promises For Perplexing Problems

Contributed by Dave Kinney on Aug 8, 2004

Just as one would drill deep into the crust of the earth for oil, we need promises that drive deep into the perplexing problems of life! This is why God gives us over 8000 promises in His Word!

When God Doesn’t Seem To Make Sense “Penetrating Promises For Perplexing Problems” 2 Corinthians 1:20 Life has taught us “promises are made to be broken.” So we’ve learned to take promises with a grain of salt. Yet the Christian faith calls us to stake our earthly and eternal destinies upon God’s ...read more

Complete Joy—maintaining The Glow!

Contributed by Howard Strickland on May 16, 2020

Joy is not an emotion, but an attitude—a state of mind or manner of being. Isaiah 61:3, talks about putting on the oil of joy and a garment of praise like you would a healing salve or a protective cloak.

Complete Joy—Maintaining The Glow! John 15:11NKJV The Lord Jesus Christ fully paid for every believer to walk in complete-lasting-joy. Only God can give you the joy you want. Do you desire a joy that is forever; Not fleeting, not just moments of pleasure, but a joy that goes on and on, with no ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Tony Young Jr. on Mar 11, 2022

A Matter Of Time

Contributed by Joel Santos on Oct 29, 2004

Crises have their advantages. They focus our attention on things we tend to take for granted. Like oil. Now we realize there is no illimitable supply. And how much of it we waste. It’s the same with time.

The Grain Offering Series

Contributed by Todd Stiles on Jan 19, 2011

The grain offering appears to have followed the burnt offering and consisted of flour and oil. Though it too provided a "soothing aroma", it was not totally consumed in fire but shared with the priests. Thus its purpose was not to secure atonement. This o
