    To better understand the Anointing, we must better understand the Anointed One: The Messiah.

    Isaiah 10:27 Psalm 119 (176 = 176/8 = 22). Hebrew Olive Bet has 22 Letters. Messiah (Mah-She-Oct) Mem Shean Het Mem = V97; Shean = V161; Het = V57 Isaiah 10:27 “…and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” The Anointing: Jesus is our Messiah. The Messiah is the ...read more

     | 20,368 views

    In the 12th chapter of Acts we see the deliverance of Peter from the hand of Herod. It is an amazing deliverance. James is executed and Peter delivered. Both were ready to die. Shouldn't we be as well?

    Acts 12:1-19 (As people look up this Scripture briefly explain the first phrase in the first verse ...) The first verse says, “It was about this time …” The events leading up to Chapter 12 Stephen is martyred Great persecution breaks out Believers are scattered ...read more

     | 4,573 views

    Sometimes when we look at certain Bible passages we get the feeling that only suffering and persecution awaits the true believer in Jesus. Nothing could be further from the truth! Even in the midst of trials we can have joy and peace and hope! PTL!!

    1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 (Please look up this Scripture as we will read it in a few minutes) As I was thinking of last weeks sermon we had spoken about the death of James, the brother of John and the miraculous deliverance of Peter from prison and of the fact that there is a great wave of ...read more

    This is a hot topic for many people around the world today; the refugee crisis. What do we do when mostly non-Christians use Matthew chapter 2 and say “Jesus was a refugee, wouldn’t you help Him?”

    Strangers Who Are Brothers Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 7, 2013
     | 4,070 views

    A common faith based upon the teaching of the apostles unites us into a spiritual family, even among those believers we have never met.

    Strangers Who Are Brothers (Colossians 1:1-2) 1. I knew a man, who, after he retired, found out that his father wasn’t his father. 2. He then met his actual father and family in another state, and began going to family functions there, building relationships with a family he did not know ...read more

    God desires to interact with us through praise which encompasses prayer and worship as well. We can discover with the help of the Lord joy in the journey of life – even when we face illness, death, persecution, trials and hardship.

    Series: We need to find joy in the journey! Thesis of series: Joy needs to be experienced in the journey of life! But Joy, like any other attitude, can come and go. It is not guaranteed simply because we are born again believers because storms will blow in and out of our lives. We must put ...read more

    Balancing The Books

    Contributed by John Hamby on Apr 2, 2019
     | 7,896 views

    Where is God’s justice and judgement? Why does God delay His judgment? Why doesn’t He vindicate His people now? Is He unable to, or does He not care? Some had seized on the ‘delay’ in the appearance of God’s judgment as an excuse to ignore or reject the idea of God’s judgment.

    33rd Sunday in Course 2015 End and Beginning The Book of Daniel and St. Mark’s Gospel have one important thing in common: they were both written in times of persecution of the faith. Daniel was published–probably through a kind of underground press–in the persecution of ...read more

     | 3,738 views

    Genuine believers put in great effort toward loving fellow believers, and yet are willing to be hated for doing right.

    Love in Bloom (I John 3:11-18) 1. In the world, a lot of people do things for spite. Here are a few real life examples from some blogs: Today, my boss got mad at me because I told her that I wouldn't be able to work two days out of the week, due to college classes.

    Even if the future of the church in America looks like VERSES 1-3, God can still bring about VERSE 8.

    The Scattering Acts 8:1-8 My favorite movies are those with plot twists at the end. When what happens at the end of a movie, you never saw coming at the beginning. And when the ending is revealed it's kind of like, "oh, everything makes sense now." I think the first time I vividly ...read more

    The Law Removes The Offense Of The Cross Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 5, 2020
     | 1,841 views

    The apostle was accused by the false teachers of teaching circumcision in some places, and they said they were teaching no more than he taught. Or it may have been inferred from the fact (which was undoubtedly true) that Paul in general complied with the customs of the Jews when he was with them.
