Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Mar 9, 2025

We Are Not Alone - Comforter Is With Us!

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 6, 2022

Jesus bodily presence was limited, the Holy Spirit would be unlimited. The Holy Spirit would be in every place, teaching them, reaching them with insight and clarity. The presence of the Holy Spirit would be as valuable to the disciples as the bodily presence of Jesus had been.

Sermon – The Comforting Work of the Holy Spirit Joh 16:5-15 “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. 6 Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you.

David In Saul’s Camp

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 8, 2022

We see another magical moment when David walks with God and ventures into the impossible. God gave David Saul’s spear-scepter and the king's source of anointing. This was a prevision of what David was later to gain as King.

DAVID IN SAUL’S CAMP 1 Sam. 26:2-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I was thrown out of the break room of my Walmart yesterday. They asked me what I was doing there. I told them, “I’m on a break.” 2.

Pardoned And Beyond (September 11, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 9, 2022

Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omnipotent Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022

Job 1-2 reveals Satan’s limitations. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. Unlike God, Satan isn’t omnipresent (everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing). This session’s focus: Satan is not omnipotent; he can only do what God allows. So why does God allow suffering?

************* Satan Is Not OMNIPOTENT (All-Powerful) The Lord asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job; there is none like him in the earth. He is a perfect and upright man, who fears God and avoids evil?” Satan asked, “Haven't you made a hedge on every side about him and his house ...read more

Run To God Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Sep 15, 2022

No one would think Joseph was a lucky guy. He was victimized, enslaved, harassed, accused, incarcerated - but he remained committed to God every step of the way - and that saw him through.

Run To God Genesis 39:1-23 Introduction We are observing Recovery month and have been looking at some Bible Heroes who got a lot of things right but also had some recovering to do when they didn’t.

We Come Together As One Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 17, 2022

The church comes together as one in the Lord's Supper, with no distinction of class or race, no division or faction. We remember not just our redeemed relationship with Christ but also with one another. The Lord's Supper is a corporate witness.

Semper Fi

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 20, 2022

Semper Fi is a phrase that has been adopted by the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi means “always faithful”, or “always loyal.” We are called to serve Him and continue serving Him until He calls us home. Semper Fi, fellow Christians. Always be faithful to the end.

Don't Get Offended Because Of Me Series

Contributed by Ethel Lamazon on Jun 20, 2024

Sometimes life doesn't always go as we plan. We sometimes think that when we're serving God life is going to be a flower bed of ease and we soon learn that life is not a bed of flowers but a bed of roses with thorns in it, but God still has a plan

BLESSED ARE THOSES WHO ARE NOT OFFENDED BECAUSE OF ME---MATTHEW 11 VS 2-6 2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he [a]sent two of his disciples 3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” 4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell ...read more

Marriage–avoiding Fornication

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jun 26, 2024

Practical instructions for righteous behavior. The assembly at Corinth was having problems with division, worldly sinful behaviors within and how to cope with non-believers. Satan was still deceiving them as he continues deception today.

We have studied, in past weeks, practical instructions for righteous behavior in the assemblies of God. Apostle Paul wrote letters to a mixed assembly of Jews and Gentiles at Corinth; new converts, being young in the faith, and older, more seasoned members in the faith of Jesus Christ. The assembly ...read more

The Lord's Prayer 3 - The Pattern Of Prayer Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 18, 2024

Sometime we repeat prayers over and over again and do not stop to think about what we are saying. The Lord's prayer falls into this category - we need to stop and think about each phrase and use it as our prayer.

The Pattern of prayer Sometimes when we say something in worship perhaps we do not stop and think what we are actually saying and when we do we wonder what on earth do we mean by that? Even though we might have been saying the same things over and over again we do not really think about what we ...read more
