    Look On Us!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 31, 2015
     | 7,558 views

    The word ‘US’ has vanished from our vocabulary! ‘ME’ stands out! If at all the word ‘US’ operates, it is for agitation and not for edification! Hear me out today please!

    Look on us! Acts 3:1”And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.” Many times we focus on the healing of the 40 year old man who sat near the temple, but I would like you to focus on the words of Peter and John here: ’Look on us!” Rarely we hear ...read more

    Makes sense of Paul's comparison of living "by the flesh" or "by the Spirit." Analogy of corrupted computer operating system (inherited corruption/original sin). Focuses on living by the Spirit.

    FIXING OUR CORRUPTED OS—Romans 8:1-14 You opened a file in your e-mail, and now you have a virus on your computer. The entire operating system is corrupted, resulting in erratic behavior, broken links, and malware. What do you do? Adam and Eve opened a door—the door of sin, and an evil virus got ...read more

    Discernings Of Spirits Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 27, 2024
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,024 views

    This message discusses the supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit called "Discernings of Spirits" in 1 Corinthians 12:10. This gift unveils the spiritual realm, and its operation often precedes exorcism. It is a protection from deception.

    Intro In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul raises the subject of spiritual manifestations. He lists nine gifts or manifestations of the Spirit. We have examined the first six and now come to the seventh, discernings of spirits. I begin reading in verse 7. “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each ...read more

    Word Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 30, 2024
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,858 views

    What is a "word" of wisdom? Is it just wisdom in general, or is it a supernatural impartation of guidance by the Holy Spirit? This message explains this supernatural operation of the Spirit and provides examples of its occurrence in Scripture and in the pastor's life.

    Intro We are in a series concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Last week we examined the description of the gifts found in the first eleven verses of 1 Cor. 12. We came to understand the gifts of the Spirit as “supernatural impartations by the Holy Spirit that come in a moment for a specific ...read more

    Superman never felt panic or fear! We’re not him (even if you do run around the house in tights and a cape). Sometimes we lack courage. However, as believers we should be operating in courage. Why? How?

    InCourage Pt. 2 – The Fear Factor I. Introduction Last week I mentioned that I wished I was Superman so that I could handle every situation with supreme confidence and strength. However, I also revealed, hold onto your jaw so that it doesn’t drop, that I am not Superman. We all need courage and ...read more

    There is a sad tendency on the part of all churches. That some people become regarded as a spiritual elite. That they, in some way, have more of an expectation to be heard by God and to have a say in the church’s operation than everyone else. This is a mi

     | 39,291 views

    Oftentimes we don’t see God operating, but yet He is there; behind us, in front of us and on our left hand and right. God’s unseen hand guides and controls, tears down and builds up.

    I Can’t See Him, But I Know He Is There SCRIPTURE: "Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: But he knoweth the way that I ...read more

    Do you want to enjoy intimacy with God and operate in His authority? In Zechariah 3 we are given two keys for that to happen. Additionally, it is only possible through Messiah Jesus seen here as Servant, the Branch, and the Chief Cornerstone.

    Today we return to our study of Zechariah. Zechariah, along with a faithful remnant, have returned from Babylonian captivity to Jerusalem. They are rebuilding the temple along with Ezra and restoring worship of the Lord in their homeland. For 70 years the nation has been living in Babylon as ...read more

     | 4,836 views

    Jesus freely proclaimed his message of salvation to all. His grace is free, it is effectual in its operation, and its results are abiding, elevating, purifying, and saving power. By Faith we receive the grace of God, and our soul lives.

    Jesus delayed his coming to the feast of Tabernacle because his hour was not yet. Although his brothers attempted to push him forth, Jesus understood his assignment. Jesus arrived and stayed in the background till the fitting moment, and then he came boldly forward to deliver one of the freest and ...read more

     | 315 views

    MATTHEW 20: GRACE, GREATNESS and THE GOD WHO SEES. GOD’s kingdom operates on grace, not human merit. GOD’s grace defies human fairness, greatness is measured by servanthood, and spiritual sight is found in recognizing JESUS.

    "greater Works Or Great Excuses"

    Contributed by Anthony (Tony) Charles on Aug 17, 2025
     | 275 views

    Jesus promised believers would do greater works than He did, but instead of operating in God's power, we've substituted excuses for the supernatural works we're called to perform.

    GREATER WORKS or GREAT EXCUSES Text: John 14:12 – “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they ...read more

    Consequences – You Don’t Avoid Them Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 343 views

    God has ordained that everything in this universe has consequences. That is why a whole network of scientific laws operate to make all things function. Consequences apply to human behaviour and we look into these. Consequences apply to Christians as well.

    CONSEQUENCES – YOU DON’T AVOID THEM [A]. INTRODUCING THE SUBJECT – All of us know that if we trip on a set of stairs, we will tumble down. If we drive too fast around a sharp road bend, we are likely to skid off the road. If a branch separates from a very tall tree, it falls down and hits ...read more

     | 521 views

    Every believer is uniquely gifted by God with spiritual gifts meant to edify the body of Christ and advance His kingdom on earth. However, many Christians struggle to identify or fully operate in their spiritual gifts, limiting their impact and personal growth.
