Kingdom Keys - Ezra Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on May 22, 2023

To fully restore our connection to God, we must become aware of our sins, admit them to another and act in a way which totally removes the sin and its tempters from our presence quickly. Any compromise robs us of a true connection to our God.

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 6, 2025

The God of deliverance keeps His sheep so none is lost; not one bone broken. Delivered through death to the presence of the Lord. Also we look at degrees of punishment and how it stands in judgement for the wicked. We must reach out to the lost, more than condemn them.

"Walk It Out”

Contributed by Sean Dees on May 3, 2021

Is there anybody ready to “Walk it Out”; Ready to go into the unknown…your destiny… into a deeper level of God’s presence/anointing/blessings. Ready to walk away from distractions and hindrances, ready to leave your comfort zone and people that have been weighing you down.

I. Unlikely Choice A. Here in Genesis 12 marks what many critical scholars call the “beginning of the redemptive drama of the restoration of humanity to our original purpose and divine intention” or as I like to call it a “turning point for man”.

Palm Sunday: This message on "The Triumphal Entry" teaches us some things about worship, concerning what we should be thankful for and what we should celebrate when we find ourselves in the presence of the one true King, Jesus Christ.

One Palm Sunday, a little boy had a sore throat and had to stay home from church with a babysitter. When the rest of the family came home, they were carrying palm branches; and the little boy asked what they were for. His father told him that people waved them in celebration as Jesus passed by. ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 1, 2025

What a person believes about God is the most important thing contained in their mind. It affects everything about them. Specifically, what they believe about God shapes them spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

Seeing God In Your Life

Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Jun 8, 2021

Last week we talked about going through the spiritual wilderness experience, were you feel God is silent in your life, and you don’t sense His presence. However, we concluded that God is never silent, and He is always present in our lives.

God allows evil to grow side by side with good in order to give every person the opportunity to receive him and be a part of his kingdom, but the time for judgement and separation will be coming when the King returns.

Where's The Fruit??

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Dec 22, 2013

In the right set of hands, one kernel of corn could be a fortune for one person and just a small snack for another. Whenever you take a seed and plant it, given the correct conditions it will grow.

Recently, I knew a Local man who just up and packed up and moved 1800 miles across the country, because he was tired of the location and didn't like it any longer. Only to discover, that when he had reached his new location he liked it even less than the location that he left and then decided ...read more

Symptoms Of A Society's Sinfulness Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 2, 2008

Sin separates from God, be it the sin of a person or of a nation. God demands righteousness on the part of the people with whom He enters into covenant relationship. The fault of rejection is not the Lord’s but His peoples’ choice of the ways of sin.

ISAIAH 59: 1-8 SYMPTOMS OF A SOCIETY’S SINFULNESS [Romans 3:4-18] There are always reasons if God’s promises are not being fulfilled. It is not because God cannot fulfill His Word or does not want to fulfill His Word. Here God states He is not fulfilling His promises and delivering His people ...read more
