     | 3,144 views

    Mark 13:13 says "You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one that endures to the end, he will be saved."

    Why Am I Not Hated – Mark 13:13 As I was reading through this past couple of weeks, I found the book of Mark to be speaking directly to me. Last week we spoke about being politically correct, and I know that I didn’t use scripture from Mark, but I believe one of the verses that sparked ...read more

    The Continuation Of Destiny

    Contributed by Mike Hullah on May 5, 2019
     | 3,803 views

    Once a person is saved there is a continuing journey we must all take to reach our individual destiny. Using Jacob's prophecy over Joseph we see the example of the journey that awaits us if we are to become fruitful

    Entering Into the Joseph Anointing! Joseph was the one whom God used to save an entire tribe, nation and people. However, he had to go through a tremendous set of what might be considered "negative circumstances" (he was the one who was separated from his brothers) but he described it ...read more

     | 13,257 views

    Where do we turn when the world stands against us? Here are some thoughts that come from the early church response to opposition.

    There’s an old spiritual song- It’s Me Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer- and that’s how our drama concludes. We began with Peter and John healing the crippled man at the Beautiful Gate and continued as Peter and John stood on trial. Today, we’re going to look at how ...read more

    Found Among Sinners Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,649 views

    Large crowds followed Jesus, coming where He was. He could've waited on them to come to Him, but often He went out, seeking them. Jesus was often found among those society rejected. We too must be willing to go where they are, seeking to reach them.

    Found among Sinners Mark 2: 13-17 Following a season of ministry around the region of Galilee, Jesus had returned to Capernaum. His return created quite a stir, as multitudes arrived at Peter’s house, hoping to see Jesus. The palsied man was miraculously healed, and Jesus made a statement that ...read more

    Hated For Healing Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 26, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,490 views

    The opposition Jesus faced continued as He sought to reveal Himself as the Christ. Sadly they failed to see Him for who He really was. Many today deny and oppose the Gospel, but we must remain committed to share!

    Hated for Healing Mark 3: 1-6 Our text today, once again finds Jesus in the synagogue on the Sabbath. While there He performed a great miracle. Unfortunately, this marvelous act of grace is overshadowed by the suspicion and animosity of the Pharisees. Our studies in chapter two revealed the ...read more

    Have you ever been falsely accused? Maybe you have dealt with attack, even while trying to do a good deed. Jesus faced continual assaults from the adversary. We must lean on Him and press on, even in the face of opposition.

    Attacked with False Accusation Mark 3: 22-30 Have you ever been falsely accused? Maybe you have been maliciously attacked while seeking to do a good deed for someone else. Likely we all have dealt with situations where our actions or motives have been misrepresented, and we were unnecessarily ...read more

     | 2,010 views

    Today we have to guard are words because people are so easily offended. What do we do when God says: I have somethings against you? Without a COA(COURSE OF ACTION) we will be DOA (DEAD ON ARRIVAL.) God has a plan to stretch our faith to new levels.

    SOMETHING AGAINST YOU? COA VS DOA? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com If we really trust Jesus by faith we must give up all of our rights of personal understanding and personal opinions and say: GOD BY FAITH I WILL COMPLETELY TRUST YOUR PLAN.

    Just Be Quiet Series

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Apr 29, 2024
     | 952 views

    The topic that today’s text deals with is demons. It is not a topic we like to talk about, but we need to hear because they are real. We need to know they exist and how to deal with them.

    JUST BE QUIET Text: Acts 16:16-24 Introduction 1. One of the things that I love about preaching through a book of the Bible chapter by chapter, paragraph by paragraph, and verse by verse is that it forces me to preach about topics that are difficult to talk about. But they are topics that the ...read more

     | 1,037 views

    Ministry can often be discouraging. The battle may be against opposition or indifference. We can learn from Elijah about battle fatigue.

    OVERCOMING BATTLE FATIGUE The first line of the hymn Peace in the Valley reflects the discouragement that often fills the hearts of weary travelers: “Well, I’m so tired and so weary, but I must go along; till the Lord comes and calls me away.” Most of us want that call to be like Abraham’s, to ...read more
