     | 3,668 views

    We always quote the verse.."The Anointing breaks yoke....HOW?"

    As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit–just as it has taught you, remain in him. I John 2:27 (NIV) Explain what Anointed means ...read more

    Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,514 views

    Why should we be so concerned about proving that the resurrection of Jesus really took place? Sadly, many Christians can tell you the details about the resurrection while never thinking about the way that truth effects their daily lives.

    Last Sunday we learned many of the truths about the resurrection. We all saw how the Apostle Paul proved the truth of the resurrection through the testimonies of 100s of people who saw the resurrected Christ first hand. But you might be asking, “Why does of any of it matter? Why should we be so ...read more

    Mark's Gospel continues to show us the numerous episodes of compassion, care, concern, and confrontation that made up the person, ministry and work of the Lord Jesus. He is beyond our poor words of description.

    Our journey through Mark's Gospel continues with these words that describe the work and person of the Lord Jesus Christ; "He has done all things well." (7:37). No one could accuse Him of doing anything that had even a trace of fault, defect, mistake, or ineptness. His words and ...read more

    Some thoughts I shared about God’s hatred of sin in a recent sermon.

    Some thoughts I shared about God’s hatred of sin in a recent sermon. 1) God hates sin because it is the very antithesis of His nature. The psalmist describes God’s hatred of sin this way: “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; no evil dwells with You” (Psalm 5:4). 2) God hates ...read more
