    If you have experienced the Father's Love in Christ at Christmas, this is not the end of all things but the beginning of everything: If anyone is in Christ, he is a new Creation.

     | 5,800 views

    Too many neglect the Revelation because of ’all-kinds’ of reasons, yet it is the book which "Unveils" our Lord in His divinity. This message calls us to view this book with OPENED EYES.

    The Unveiling Eyes Wide Open Rev. 1:1-3 * Have you ever felt neglected? Felt like you had something to offer & never given the opportunity? * In the 21st century, it would seem that Revelation is the one Bible book which receives that kind of treatment. Years ago, all we heard about was the ...read more

    It isn't size, or status, or wealth, or popularity that measures the worth of the church: it is faithfulness.

    We began the week with the story of the Chicago nightclub fire in which 21 people were killed as they rushed to the exit. The club had already been cited for overcrowding and other safety violations - like not enough doors and windows. What happened was that a bouncer used pepper spray to break ...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

    In the middle of nowhere, Jacob encounters God and realizes God’s presence encompasses more that what just his eyes see.

    Last week, we looked at a central figure of the OT, Abram, later named Abraham. We talked about some of the similarities between the unknowns of Abrahams life, such as the lack of any information about his childhood, and that of Jesus and how little is know of his childhood. We discovered that as ...read more

    For deacon ordination: God has provided the wide door through which all may come, but also the narrow gate that calls for discipline and setting boundaries.

    We seem to be fast coming to the place where we will scarcely have to deal with people at all. We can just deal with computer-driven machines to get what we want. I frankly cannot remember when I have dealt with a bank teller. I just roll up to an Automatic Teller Machine, punch in a few numbers, ...read more
