    Forgiveness

    Our salvation is contingent on whether or not we are willing to forgive others. Forgiveness is a hard pill to swallow, but it must be done.

    Forgiveness Matthew 6: 9-15 Most of us, if not all of us, are here today because of God’s forgiveness! Rom. 3:23 For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God All of us have transgressed God’s laws. All of us were on our way to eternal punishment, deserving our just reward… BUT ...read more

    If we just want good things to happen then don’t pray. But if we want GOD things to happen pray with boldness, passion and expectancy.

    INTRODUCTION I’ve said on the front cover of this weeks bulletin that prayer is the highest use of the gift of speech. Words are a powerful tool. For example apparently for every word in Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, 125 people lost their lives in World War 2 (W. Wiersbe "Be Complete" p135). So words ...read more

    To see a change in our world today, we need to PRAY and PROCLAIM Christ. Pray is to talk to God for men, and proclaim is to talk to men for God.

    2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; ...read more

    Not only is Psalm 139 important theologically, but it is a good model for learning what we need to do in beginning to pray successfully by praying the Scriptures themselves.

    In the “Dark Ages” of television, before there were hundreds of cable channels with nothing to watch and before there was even color broadcasting, much less HDTV, the news division of one of the networks (CBS) had a show entitled, “You Are There!” The idea of the show was to take you back and allow ...read more

    Paul’s Prayer For The Church

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 10, 2022
     | 4,036 views

    In this passage of scripture we are going to deal with a prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesians. This prayer is considered by some as the second most important prayer ever prayed.

    Folks have some strange ideas about prayer. Some folks do not have the slightest idea of what prayer is. Illus: This reminds me of Karin Wotten of Ocala, Florida who tells about the opening exercises of their Vacation Bible School, when they asked for volunteers to pray. One morning, a first ...read more

    Praying without really caring for others is a waste of words. As we pray, simultaneously we should care for them by doing our best to help them spiritually, emotionally or simply arranging for food and shelter when needed, then we should pray.

    Something happens when people gather together to pray. The early church experienced this in a mighty way and they witnessed astounding miracles because they prayed together. Only when families and churches pray together will we be able to see a revival in these last days.

    For our meditation I have chosen Act 4:31,“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.” (AFV) It is a fact that whenever we as a church gather and pray together, there will ...read more

    There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money and wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven.
