    The Church Alive And On Fire

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 11, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,752 views

    It is quite clear that the church is under attack. It’s open season on pastors and the entire church as well. It is almost as if the world system is pushing the church into a corner and challenging the church to produce its credentials

    4 The Lord will wash away the filth from the daughters of Zion. He will wash away the blood from Jerusalem. With a spirit of judgment that burns like fire, he will make everything pure. 5 Then the Lord will create a cloud of smoke in the day and a bright flame of fire at night over every building ...read more

    When a local Body of Christ opens the door for a song service, they are giving opportunity for Christians and non-Christians to enjoy music that was written for the purpose of blessing the Lord and meant to be sung as a proclamation of His love for us.

    Title: Blessed, For The Singers Introduction: I would like to read to you from 2 Chronicles 25: 1, 6-7, “David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying, accompanied by harps, lyres and ...read more

    The Judgment Of The Saints

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2014
     | 5,238 views

    What will it be like when we as followers of Jesus Christ stand before the Judgment seat of Christ? What about the books that will be opened and the Lamb's Book of Life? Will the Lord be honored by what is in the books or will we be humbled?

    A few weeks ago we took a look at the do’s and don’ts of judging others on earth whether they are Christians or not. Two weeks ago we looked at the certainty of the judgment that is awaiting those whose faith and trust was not in Jesus at the time of their death. Today we’ll be ...read more

    Revelation 1: A Declaration Of Praise And Promise

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 16, 2023
     | 953 views

    The opening chapter of the book of Revelation shows that in what seems to be the darkest and most hopeless periods of history, the Lord Jesus Christ is still Lord and King over HIs creation, and that all things will be made new.

    If the book of Revelation had just this one chapter, it is enough for us to give praise and glory to God. He shows not just the apostle John but all of us that He is in charge of the affairs of His creation. No mere created being, whether it be mortal humanity or malevolent demon, will ever have ...read more

     | 2,297 views

    There's only two options open to us...the narrow way which leads to eternal life, or the wide way which leads to eternal death. Heaven or hell. Which will it be?

    Mat 7:13-14 Do you know what any good preacher does when he begins to wind down his sermon? He tries to pull together everything he has already said and guide his audience to his ultimate goal of bringing them to a decision. For the Christian preacher, the decision he is leading his audience ...read more

    Echo: The Abilities Of Visions

     | 1,735 views

    Oh, here comes the dreamer... 13 long years before the dreams become a reality. We seem to focus on the temporal not the eternal. May we open our eyes to see what God is doing.

     | 1,318 views

    In our sermon today we will hear our Savior say that those who are poor, hungry, weeping, and persecuted are blessed. We need him to open our eyes to see how that can be so!

    The prophet Elisha was a wanted man. The king of Aram (a nation to the northeast of the Holy Land) was at war with Israel. Aram is also called Syria and it was pretty much in the same area as modern-day Syria. But Elisha was frustrating all of his battle plans. Through God’s power ...read more

    Godliness Over Gain

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 18, 2025
     | 192 views

    You want a deeper walk with Jesus? That will mean persecution, not prosperity. It may mean sacrifice of health to walk in holiness. Remember, He was rejected and crucified. Apostles often lived in jail or the open field, not mansions.

    Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
