    In these days of the falling away from God, the church has taken a beating

    AS THE CHURCH GOES, WE GO In these days of the falling away from God, the church has taken a beating. Sin has not just crept into the church, but it has come on and attacked the church at full force. Churches after churches are seeing their membership drop to an all-time low. We are now seeing ...read more

     | 2,140 views

    Peter is telling us is that we should not let the things of this world, nor the people of this world distract us from the business of the Gospel! Today we want to talk about provocateurs, peculiar people and our priesthood.

    THE PECULIAR PEOPLE Text:1 Peter 2:9-16 1 Peter 2: 1 - 10: Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted ...read more

    Sermon # 17 - The Power Of A Praying Church Series

     | 3,006 views

    There is not telling as to the extraordinary outcomes when the church comes together to pray. The only way we can assure in a revival, and the powerful move of the Holy Spirit is through prayer.

    We read in Acts 4:31, “When they finished praying, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God's message with boldness.”(GNB) As the believers in the early church met together for prayer there was a mighty manifestation of ...read more

    A mirror is a very revealing thing. It generally shows whatever is in front of it . . .freckles, wrinkles, warts, dirt and etc...

    However, many of us have gone to a place like the State Fair and they would have the Mirror house as one of the side shows. In the mirror house they had all kinds of mirrors. • Some of these mirrors would make us look short when we were tall. • Some of these mirrors would make us look skinny when ...read more

    The Prophet Isaiah 1 Of 2

    We hear a lot of these television preachers give the impression that God comes down at least twice a day and visits and talks to them in an audible voice about the things He wants them to do.

    I find it hard to believe what many of these television preachers preach and teach most of the time. Much of it is UNSCRIPTURAL AND RIDICULOUS! They make the Lord’s work look bad! When one comes up with a new idea for making more money, the others seem to follow. I am sure there must be some good ...read more

    The Danger Of Deception

     | 6,322 views

    We, as believers of God and His word, should be on the lookout for deception in the realm of religion, for we are warned about it several times in the Scriptures. And if it is such a danger, we need to know what forms of deception may be used against us and prepare ourselves.

    Sermon: The Danger of Deception Scripture: Acts 5:1-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath ...read more

    This is a continuation of the Bitter or Better Sermon and deals with wanting something that is not yours.

He was seeking to live the truth and be pleasing to the Lord. Today we will looking at someone named Gehazi, ...read more

    Counting The Cost

    Jesus did not sugarcoat it when He was pointing out that following Him would not be a bed of roses! Being a disciple could not be and cannot be taken lightly because being a disciple is to be totally committed!

    COUNTING THE COST Text: Luke 9:57 -62 Luke 9:57  As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58  And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his ...read more
