    Caricature Or Reality (Pt 1) Series

    Contributed by John Telgren on Jan 8, 2006
    based on 85 ratings
     | 15,103 views

    In order to pray, worship and serve God effectively, we need to understand who he is. This begins with an understanding that he is first of all holy. Only when we get a handle on his holiness can everything else fall into place.

    Do you know what a caricature is? You see them all the time when you pick up a newspaper. You often have political cartoons where the details are not true life representations. Prominent features are often exaggerated and non-prominent features are diminished or eliminated altogether. If you go to ...read more

    Theology Proper: Names Of God Series

    Contributed by Greg Brown on Aug 5, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 19,888 views

    In the Scripture one's name is more than simply something you call someone, it is a reflection of their person--their character. By knowing the names of God, we can understand him better, and therefore, more fully worship and pray to him.

    Names of God As we are seeking to know God more, one of the greatest ways to know God is by the names given in Scripture. In the ancient Hebrew culture, a name meant so much more than just what you called somebody, it reflected a person’s character. Satan means “opposer” or ...read more

    If You Can Compare You Can Declare Series

     | 7,164 views

    God is incomparable with everything and anyone, and He cannot be likened to our images of Him. He is God we are not, therefore we need to bow everything in submission to Him, and instead of declaring healing or blessing, pray that His will be done.

    IF YOU COMPARE YOU CAN DECLARE Isaiah 40 Last week I shared about a gospel that is being taught and it is spreading like wildfire in Asia, Africa, Latin America and my country. It is a gospel that looks attractive on the outside, but on the inside it is a deadly poison. There are many names for ...read more

    A Fresh Start (Part Two)

     | 12,907 views

    Last week I talked about how we may need a fresh start. But it's not so easy. We may have a hard time making the changes that are necessary for a fresh start. But sometimes, we may not need a total fresh start, we may just need a restart.

    A FRESH START (part two) Last week I talked about how we may need a fresh start for various reasons-relationship problems, job loss, trouble with the law, etc. So, we change locations, find a new job, start getting connected with new people, etc. Obviously the best fresh start we can make is ...read more

    Have It Your Way?

    based on 47 ratings
     | 5,625 views

    Many times we seek to understand and manipulate God by our human ideas. We need to get rid of our preconceptions about what God is doing in our lives and let Him direct how we think and pray.

    Do you ever watch one of those martial arts movies – pick one, any one, it doesn’t matter – how about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?"

    Men Walking As Trees

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 13, 2016
     | 15,743 views

    Here's the only place in the N.T. where Jesus prayed for someone twice for the same ailment. Was it a gradual healing or 2 different healings? Many people today need a 2nd dose of Jesus to push them to spiritual victory!

    MEN WALKING AS TREES Mark 8:22-26 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A lawyer's dog ran into a butcher shop and stole a roast. The butcher went to the lawyer's office and asked him, "If a dog is without a leash and steals a roast from my store, do I have the legal right to require payment for the meat that ...read more

    Fulfilling God's Purpose For You Series

     | 4,808 views

    After a long night of healing at Peter's house, Jesus rose early to pray about his purpose and priorities. Our purpose is to a) embody the kingdom of God, and b) find our unique God-given purpose.

    FULFILLING GOD’S PURPOSE FOR YOU—Mark 1:29-45 ***A man in Kanpur, India holds the Guinness World record for the longest ear hair.

    Do We Have A Vision?

     | 15,872 views

    Often times challenging people to have a vision is the challenge. Causing them to see what and where God wants to take them is sometimes hard. When you are preaching about vision and people look at you like you are out there... Ya mean you want me to have

     | 6,570 views

    A lot of times we blame Satan for all of our problems but the true problem is not him it is you who did it. A lot of times we cause the messes that we go through because of disobedience. Hard aches come our way nothing seems to go right and we automatic

    Dying To Self

    Contributed by Joe Rowland on Feb 2, 2009
    based on 11 ratings
     | 15,280 views

    Have you ever found it hard to give to what you want to do? Most people will do what they want and forget what the Word of God says to do. We have to learn to die to self. We need to learn to walk in the Spirit that we do not fulfill the lust of the flesh

    Dying To Self 1 Peter 4:1-4 1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will ...read more

    Have you ever noticed how hard we work at trying to get another person’s approval? People have an instinctive desire to have another person’s approval. We long to have the approval of our neighbors and friends. A child desires the approval of his or her p

    Jesus And Giving Series

    Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 11, 2020
     | 3,121 views

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

    I know it's hard to look through the storm and see the sun shining on a new day. But that's exactly what the Holy Spirit encourages us to do. No matter how bad things look or feel, "the best is yet to come."

    I have a word for you today that is going to require a stretch of faith to get a hold of. In fact it is so far out there that I know that some of you won't even reach for it.

    Two kinds of doubters of spiritual truth....hard-boiled rationalists who say, “I don’t believe it.......” two of the doubters, Peter and John ran to the tomb. They found it empty. Include quote from Rev. Klaas abut the doubt that President Lincoln was dead. Lee Strobel was a doubter.
