2 Chronicles 14-16 SEEK THE LORD [1 Kings 15:9-24] God is not limited. Though usually God brings revival during times of apostasy and tragedy, He can also bring revival during times of reformation and prosperity. The revival in the fifteenth year of the Judean King Asa was during a ...read more

Broken Hearts

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Feb 24, 2004

If we are to have genuine revival with the power of God flowing through us we must first have broken hearts – broken over our personal sin, the sins of the saints, and the sin of the world.

BROKEN HEARTS PSALM 34:11-18 INTRODUCTION: Heart is used in Scripture as the most comprehensive term for the authentic person. It is the part of our being where we desire, deliberate, and decide.

Righteousness Before God

Contributed by Charles Scott on Aug 2, 2008

Civilizations rise and fall as well as personal lives because of the quality of the relationship institutions and individuals sustain with God. God is merciful to those who approach him in humility and receive His graces joyfully.

RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE GOD - LUKE 18:9 Luke 19:41 Why do civilizations fail? Why do great cities fall to their enemies? Jesus wept over Jerusalem as he foresaw that the city was doomed to yet a 3rd visitation by her enemies. He saw that once again the engines of war would surround the city, the ...read more

Homosexuality -- What If?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 16, 2016

Most practicing homosexuals say they were born that way. But we know from scripture that is not true. Why, then, would a person believe he or she is born a homosexual. This message looks at one possibility.

For many years I have taught that a person is not born into this world a homosexual or transsexual. The Bible says God created the human race male and female. For me that ended the discussion. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness … So God created man in his image, in the ...read more

Two Kinds Of People

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on May 7, 2003

This passage answers one of the most common questions we have. Why can the gospel be life itself to one person, and a laughable joke to another.
