     | 15,475 views

    How did Elisha receive the double portion? He asked for it. He was totally focused, committed and sold out to it. And, he received it! How bad do you want it? Where are you in your spiritual journey today? Are you hard after God?

    Opening illustration: In 1937, missionaries were forced to leave southern Ethiopia because of World War II. They had reached the remote area of Wolayto only in 1928. Nine years later, there were only 48 converts, and they experienced brutal persecution because of their faith. Tears flowed on both ...read more

    Grudges And Guilt

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 22, 2022
     | 2,869 views

    We have been talking about some of the things in life that set us back. We've talked about betrayal, temptation, the injustices of life, just plain hard times, and bitterness. When we are involved in any of these, we tend to become plagued with guilt and grudges.

    For the past couple of months we have been talking about some of the things in life that set us back. We've talked about betrayal, temptation, the injustices of life, just plain hard times, and bitterness. Today I'm going to wrap all of this up as we talk about what these things can ...read more

    The Time Has Come Series

     | 3,993 views

    Throughout the Gospels we find references to Jesus’ work of redemption, and often we read, “His hour had not yet come.” But now it was at hand. These words of Jesus were prayed in the shadow of the cross.

    “The Time Has Come” Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts “These things Jesus spoke; and lifting up His eyes to Heaven, He said, ‘Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You’.” (John 17:1) “Some people pray by the yard; but ...read more

    We Are Soldiers For Christ

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,193 views

    Make no mistake - we are soldiers for Christ. As soldiers, we have a duty to do what He has told us to do: Love & pray for our enemies - including those of the Islamic faith.

    It is fitting that we start this sermon by coming to an understanding of just who we are. Put in its simplest terms, we are soldiers of Jesus Christ. No Christian should ever doubt that. And, as soldiers, we must have certain knowledge and perform certain duties. 2 TIMOTHY 2:3 states, ‘Endure ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 10,468 views

    A Recipe for Revival. Revival is not just a couple of evangelistic meetings and growth in the church. It is when God’s people fall back in love with Jesus and we start to pray, see the power, and praise God.

    LET THE RIVERS OF REVIVAL FLOW Ezekial 47:1-12 INTRO There are three categories of people in life today. There are those that make things happen. Those that watch things happen. Then those that don’t know what is happening. IF we want revival in the church, we need more people that will make ...read more

    Introduction While Paul loved all of his brethren, he seemed to have an especially warm spot in his heart for the church in Philippi. Here he prays that they might have three things.

     | 13,840 views

    When we are talking to The One and Only True God we need to be aware of what we are doing, there is nothing or no one above Him, what a great honor and privilege is ours to pray to Him.

    "CALLING UPON THE LORD" PSALM 145:14-18 Have you ever thought about what is actually taking place when you call on the Lord? And let me say that if our prayers are not in The Lord Jesus name, then they’ll not get any farther than the ceiling. Col. 3: 17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, ...read more

    In Matthew 14:22-33 we learn that in our life’s storms God leads us into the storms; prays for; comforts us; teaches us and brings us out of the storm

    Jesus And The Storms Of Life Chuck Sligh January 2006 TEXT: Matthew 14:22-33 – “And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain ...read more

    3rd in the series...When we pray "thy Kingdom come"; we are not asking for a geographical kingdom. This message also looks at the difference between the Lord’s Prayer as recorded in Matthew and in Luke

    In Jesus Holy Name April 29, 2007 Text: Luke 11:1-4 Easter V - Redeemer “Thy Kingdom Come….” 3rd in the Series: “Prayer: Connecting to Our Father” When you and I pray: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” the word kingdom immediately brings to mind a ...read more

    "I think it was partly that experience that prompted me to start praying for dead bodies to be raised back to life - just to be sure that it was really their time. Jesus gave His disciples authority to raise the dead."

    Part 10 - Matthew 10:8-10 - NOW THAT WOULD MAKE MY MOTHER'S DAY! I was working as a funeral assistant and it was the first time I had ever touched a dead body when it happened. We had been called to a house to transfer the body to the hospital or funeral home. "THE BODY" - that sounds so ...read more

    It is more than education we need, we need the illumination of the Spirit. It is more than planning we need, but the leading of the Spirit. It is more than praying we need, but listening to the Holy Spirit.

    Christianity is hopeless without the Holy Spirit. He is God’s agent on earth today. • Without Him, there is a disconnection with God; the line is cut off. We won’t fully understand God’s will. • The Holy Spirit reveals the will of God. He reminds us of the words of Jesus; he guides us into all ...read more

    Prayer is relationship. Essence of Christianity is our relationship with God. Prayer was a defining necessity of Jesus. He prayed at all times, in all places, with all methods, about all topics, for all reasons.

    A. INTRODUCTION 1. Prayer is commanded, “Men ought always to pray, and not to faint” (Luke 18:1). 2. Jesus’ example of prayer. “Christ . . . is your example, you must follow in His steps” (1 Peter 2:21, NLT). 3.

    James explains to us how to pray for healing: There’s the confession that precedes it. There’s the intercession that provides it, there’s the illustration that proves it.

    Introduction I want you to take your Bibles tonight and turn with me to the fifth chapter of the book of James. That wonderful book of James that deals with such practicalities, things that we need to know and learn and to hear over and over again. Tonight I want to speak to you on the ...read more
