    Eye-Opening Faith

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Aug 3, 2010
     | 3,544 views

    Fear is destructive, so faith should be constructive. When faith is at work, it opens our eyes and enables us to do something about the need we see all around us.

    Passage: Matthew 14:13-21 Intro: I remember when I got glasses in 4th grade. 1. we had a vision test every year at school, and apparently I failed. 2. so off we went to the eye doctor, and I got fitted with glasses. Wow! 3. individual bricks, leaves on trees, pins at the end of the bowling ...read more

    A sermon describing open theism and gives reasons why it cannot be (much taken from Matthew Henry's commentary on this passage)

    HoHum: The following list of statements are not meant to be offensive to the Open Theist.  They are meant to be both humorous and illustrative.  Open Theism teaches that God does not know future events, that He can be surprised by them, that He can make mistakes, and that He learns what will happen ...read more

    A sermon for Baptism of the Lord Sunday.

    "Splitting Heaven Open" Mark 1:1-11 If you ever watched Sesame Street you might remember the song: "One of these Things is Not Like the Others."

    The Gates Must Be Opened Series

    Contributed by James Dina on Jan 11, 2022
     | 13,706 views

    If these gates remain shut, it will limit our service to God and hinder our destiny fulfilment; but when these gates are opened, we will have exponential church growth, improvement in our church finances and abundant blessings.

    THE GATES MUST BE OPENED “When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him” (Acts 12:10) We shall ...read more

    Open Door Of Opportunity Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 22, 2022
     | 4,946 views

    When you find that God has opened a door you do not want to miss the blessing of going through it. Once Jesus closes that door there is nobody who can open it.

    Oftentimes life’s great opportunities last only for a moment. You must seize that moment. It is the time to grab the brass ring. Take advantage of the opportunity or it will be gone. I am talking about real life changing opportunities that we have. These are the moments when you sense there is a ...read more

    You must learn the language and literary method that the people in Jesus used if you truly want to understand the Scripture. Hillel's method of asking questions is the optimal way.

    Near Eastern people in Yeshua's (and later on) wrote in allegories, metaphors, and parables. Is this healing story real? In the minds of Near Eastern people, it does not matter. The lesson of the story is the key. The lesson is that everyone must open their eyes to reading the Torah and live ...read more

This practice of sleep walking is called Somnambulism We are told by the experts that this occurs during the first 3 hours of sleep, and is characterized by the following things: • Eyes are open but stare is ...read more

    I learned this meaning of Rev 5 and the seals when one of the leaders of “Intercessors for Africa” at the commencement of one of the conferences raised a prayer point from that scripture in the 90s.

    “But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Rev 5:5 in the name of Jesus the seals in your life shall be opened. I learned this meaning of ...read more

    Message 7 in an expositional series through Paul's "second" letter to the church in the ancient Greek city of Corinth where he defends his apostleship and corrects serious doctrinal errors within this young church.

    We need to get very, very serious about promoting priestly vocations

    Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost Extraordinary Form “Ephpheta, be thou opened,” Jesus said, after groaning, “and immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment to his speech was loosed, and he spoke clearly.” Come to any baptism–as we’ll have here on Saturday the eighteenth, and you’ll hear ...read more

    Doors: Open Or Closed

    The majority of the body of Christ believes that God opens doors (a "yes" answer to prayer) and closes doors (a "no" answer to prayer) in their lives. Does scripture support such a belief?

    The message today is one that I believe is going to challenge traditional thinking in the Body of Christ. How many of you have heard the following statements and, perhaps, even said them? ? When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more

    Waiting faith and expectant trust.

    AN OPEN-ENDED PRAYER. Psalm 123:1-4. This is a short, impassioned prayer: a plea for help in the face of adversaries. It begins with adoration, with an abrupt “Unto You…” (PSALM 123:1). This is a song of Ascents and its opening may be paralleled to another: ‘I to the hills will lift ...read more
