    As we go through life’s hardships and difficulties and we are to be turning to Jesus but you might wonder, can Jesus really relate to what I’m going through? Let’s see what Jesus knows about the various things we go through in our lives.

    JESUS KNOWS INTRODUCTION: Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s there was a baseball/football player named Bo Jackson. In 1989/1990 he had a series of commercials where the slogan was Bo knows. They depicted Bo knowing how to do other sports, activities and so on. Today, I switch Bo ...read more

    When you are down to nothing, God is up to something. Some will mistake your faith for fatalism, but God is looking for you to step out and completely rely on Him.

    The fundamentals of the battle are the same the world over. In Romans 5:1-5 we see the circle (process) of faith. This is a great discovery sermon to help people see where they are in the battle and give them courage to stay the course.

    Life on top of the mountain is exciting and often rejuvenating. Unfortunately we can't dwell on the mountain continually. Trails come in the valleys of life. It's imperative to use the lessons learned on the mountain when we face a valley.

    Help my Unbelief Mark 9: 14-29 Today our text takes a captivating twist. Peter, James, and John had experienced the glory of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. Their experience was so wonderful that Peter desired to remain on the mountain. Jesus knew they could not stay there; He had much yet ...read more

    The danger of intellectual pursuit without an intimate experiential knowledge of God is that the heart can be come cold and brittle like a stone, making knowledge an idol.

    I remember as a young Born-Again Christian, just starting my spiritual journey that I would walk in and through the presence of God effortlessly. I lived and breathed the supernatural. Signs and Wonders were everywhere! The anointing was powerful! Then I went to Bible School and was told those ...read more

    Misconceptions about prayer are common today so we need to have a proper understanding of the word - PRAY – P = Presence of God – R = Reminder of the race we are in – A = Awareness of the spiritual realm – Y = Yeshua in Hebrew means to rescue or deliver and is rooted in the name of Jesus.

    Encountering Jesus Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 18, 2022
     | 1,443 views

    John 1:1-5 sets the stage for the rest of gospel - we get to see the Son of God, the Messiah in every story, every place, every circumstance and with every person. This is what John wants the reader to experience in their own lives, to encounter Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah.

    John Stott said, “Nothing hinders evangelism more than the widespread loss of confidence in the truth, relevance, and power of the Gospel.” There has been an erosion of convictions in Christian circles concerning: 1. the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, 2. the exclusive truth claims of ...read more

    As we were growing up, many of our parents tried to warn us about dangers that we faced, but we could not see them until later in life.

We read, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is ...read more
