    Contributed by Keith Walker on May 18, 2004

    Prayer is vital to know the purpose of God, to live a life praiseworthy of God, to be productive for God, grow in personal knowledge of God, to be filled with the power of God and to be partakers of God’s grace.

    INTRODUCTION Today’s message is about prayer: “Progress Through Prayer.” Let me ask you this morning, “How many of you have prayed for someone?” Another question, “What motivates you to pray for someone?” (Emergencies such as accidents, sickness, loss of job, death in family, how to handle a ...read more

    When a person chooses to believe the devil rather than God problems happen, so do not give up nor shup up until you have prayed up.

    One of the places that man suffers his major defeat is in the bed. The sudden trouble of a lot of people started on their beds. One wonderful thing that God can do for you in life is to give you power over the battle of the bed. When you win that battle you will start moving the way God wants you ...read more

    I do my best to encourage others to craft and sing a new song unto the Lord. I give some reaons why every person has a song to sing!

    A New Song for the New Year December 28, 2002 Intro: Greetings! I trust each and every one of you had a safe and Merry Christmas. I just want to say “Merry Christmas” over and over.

    Declare If You Know Series

    based on 29 ratings
     | 5,580 views

    The Palm Sunday crowds, like Job’s friends, shouted their slogans too glibly, communicating only popularity and prejudice, substituting religiosity and mere activity for knowing Jesus personally.

    Declare if you know. Declare. Interesting word, “Declare”. It suggests that when we communicate, there are a variety of levels at which we can speak. There are different intensities we can use when we want to say something. Some folks merely suggest. They offer timid little ideas ...read more

    Getting Big

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Nov 5, 2007
    based on 21 ratings
     | 3,073 views

    How big are we? This doesn’t mean how big are we in a physical way. How big are we spiritually? Are we big enough to be a person that God can use?

    In 1988 Tom Hanks stared in a wonderful movie titled Big, though Hanks is not the main character, Josh, at the beginning or the end of the movie, he is for most of the picture. David Moscow plays Josh at the beginning and end and wants more than anything to be “big.” The boy is at a fair ...read more

    This is the final sermon in a series for Adven, Christmas, and Ephphany based on the Names of Jesus from Isaiah 9:6. As our Messiah, He is the source and giver of both personal and of world peace.

    What’s in a Name?: No Jesus, No Peace; Know Jesus, Know Peace! --Isaiah 9:6-7 They are homonyms, words that sound alike but are spelled differently. You understand their meaning by the way I use them in these sentences. “No, Sheila, you can not hide those tacos, bagels, and chocolates under ...read more

    The promise of heaven is a guarantee (through God’s Grace) for every person whose name is written in The Book of Life! Hallelujah! This is a short homily given at a mid week communion service.

    John – the beloved disciple – the cousin of Jesus – the disciple whom Jesus loved is now well advanced in years and on the Lord’s Day – the Sabbath – he is meditating upon God – filled with the Holy Spirit (Revelation 1: 10).

    How To Build A Complaint Free World

     | 4,451 views

    An invitation is presented to accept a 21 day challenge, and embark upon a complaint-free life and help build a complaint free church and a complaint free world—one person at a time.

    I know how easy it is to complain, to find dissatisfaction with a situation or circumstance. In the 1970s, TV’s Saturday Night Live program, one of their skits involved "The Whiner Family." Anybody remember that skit? The family members spoke with a grating, irritating whine. When they engaged in a ...read more

    Focus On Jesus Series

    based on 9 ratings
     | 16,611 views

    We are to direct people’s attention to Jesus. We have faith in the Person of Jesus, not faith in ’faith’ or our efforts. The more you know Him, the stronger your faith.

    It is not an everyday affair that you see a miracle. These men just did and they were shocked. • The people stared at Peter and John as if they were the ones who made this man walked (v.12). • Peter directed the people’s attention to JESUS. He did not explain much about the miracle. Acts 3:16 By ...read more

    Longing For Jesus

    based on 24 ratings
     | 14,127 views

    What is your longing, your passion, your priority, your driving force in life? For every individual and every Church it must be a living, personal, daily relationship with the Resurrected Christ.

    Longing for Jesus --Psalm 84:1-4 and John 4:4-15 When preachers get together, someone may comment, “That will preach.” Inspiration for a sermon comes from many people and places. A few weeks ago in our Academy for Christian Training and Service one of our readings for reflection came from the ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 5,358 views

    The size of the personal storms in life are influenced by the size of one’s faith. Great faith makes large storms seem small, and small faith makes little storms larger.

    THE SIZE OF THE STORM THEME: THE SIZE OF THE STORM IS CONNECTED TO THE SIZE OF YOUR FAITH. Life has been a little stressful recently. Nothing major, it is just a bunch of stuff that adds stress to my life. Most of you know that Charity has been having some health problems related to having ...read more

    The mission God has given us to do is impossible—absolutely impossible without the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. I personally think we are at a significant crisis in the church of America.

    A Pentecost Sunday message, challenging us to invite one more person to worship and bring one more to Jesus. The experience of Pentecost is not ancient history, it should be today’s reality.

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, you may have noticed an article in the newspaper a few days ago about a British mountain climber David Sharp who collapsed during his descent from Mount Everest due to lack of oxygen.
