The Trojan Horse Of Heaven

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 1, 2023

"[If] the princes of this world...had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" 1 Cor. 2:8. The Cross was the method of invasion of Hell; it was the Trojan Horse by which Jesus gained access to Death!

7 Barriers To Your Miracle

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 19, 2021

Beholding And Reflecting Our God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 13, 2021

After Moses had beheld God's glory on Mt. Sinai, he could not help but reflect God's glory. That is God's will and plan for us. We are supposed to behold God, become like God, then reflect God to others.

A. Our mission as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ is to behold and to reflect our God. 1. Let’s begin with two illustrations – one about beholding and the other about reflecting. B. We are all familiar with the saying: “You Are What You Eat.” 1. I like this meme: “They say you are ...read more

The Power Of The Tongue

Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 10, 2021

There have never been words spoken more powerfully than in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth.

The spoken word can be extremely powerful. When humans speak, it can literally mean life or death. If I mention a few words of famous speeches, most senior Americans can readily recall the heart of the message. As time regressive examples: “I have a dream,” by Martin Luther King, 1963. Next, “Ask ...read more

Don't Judge Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 5, 2022

God does not give human beings authority to judge the righteousness of others using our preferences as the standard. None of us are perfectly righteous ourselves. We are in no position to pronounce judgment because we can be guilty of sin.

Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:1-6 NIV (Don't Judge) 1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022

DEFILING DREAMERS ARE IN STARK CONTRAST WITH MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL - Jude 1 v 8-9 Jude 1:8 “Yet in the same manner these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties, Jude 1:9 but Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022

Prayer Warfare

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 15, 2021

In Ex. 17:8-13 we see prayer warfare in action: the battle was not determined by who had the superior force or the best trained men. The battle was decided in the spiritual realm. Prayer was decisive. It still is!

Overcome By Obedience Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Sep 17, 2021

A truly amazing story in the OT is the promise that God made to Abram and Sarai that involved them having a son. Sarai unable to have children. The Promise was unexpected! As time went by, both of them passed the age of childbearing and there was a lot of mystery around God’s promise.

Religion Vs. Relationship

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

This message contrasts religion and relationship, showing that religion is not to be desired. However, a relationship with Jesus is to be highly treasured. Why? Religion brings about death, but relationship brings about life.

Whenever you hear of the word “religion,” what comes to mind? Perhaps attending a church service, someone worshipping a Buddha statue, a baptismal service, someone reciting a chant or prayer, someone fasting, people praying to the east every hour, someone making an animal sacrifice, or someone ...read more
