    The Eye-Opening Walk

    Jesus opened the eyes of the travelers just as he opens our eyes as we travel the road of life.

    Text: “Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight” (Luke 24:29). I wonder if we had lived in the days when Jesus was born and walked upon the face of the earth if we would have had any difficulty accepting the things Jesus taught and did. Would we have given ...read more

    This message is taken from the Sermon on the Mount and looks at four sets of two choices given by Jesus as to where we'll spend eternity.

    Sermon on the Mount “There Are Only Two” Matthew 7:13-14 We all prefer to be given choices and the more choices we have the better we like it. But there are limits, which is evident when looking up and down the grocery aisle. • First you have the cereal aisle. You have at least ...read more

    This is a sermon preached to a church in danger of becoming discouraged over a lack of recent growth.

    A message that highlights four gates of the enemy we need to possess and bring down to move forward in life.

    Gates are very important. Just as in the natural realm gates are used for security and protection, God uses spiritual gates which you can’t see with your physical eyes like you can see the gate of your house, church, or office, to secure, protect and fortify people’s lives.

    The Church Of The Open Door

     | 268 views

    There’s no perfect church. Jesus commends a faithful church—Philadelphia—for keeping His Word and not denying His name. The question for us: not “Are we perfect?” but “Are we faithful?”

    Have you ever heard this expression before? “If you’re looking for the perfect church, and you find it – if you find the perfect church – well you better not join it because it won’t be perfect anymore.” I love this. And the reason is because no one is perfect, right? There’s no such thing as a ...read more

    I recently saw a sign for a store advertising a grand opening. The store manager boasted of great give-a-ways and all sort of wonderful prizes. However, none of these things compare to what we gain when Heaven opens.

    In our text Heaven opened to show Peter a vision from God of our world,both Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans. God also showed Peter that he would have to work among the unbelief, prejudices, and despair of this world. Heaven opened to give Peter a promise of continual divine assistance.
