There are no hopeless situations. Jesus asks us to trust and to keep praying. If we don't give up, miracles can happen in our lives.

A Prayer For Revival Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 14, 2021

Many of you are praying for a better life and if God were to grant you your request, you would quickly become overconfident. And you would quickly move to spiritual indifference. Some of you are praying against THE VERY circumstances that God has arranged so you would better experience Him.

I want to introduce you to a way you can pray for your believing friends to experience revival. Many of you enjoy speaking to your parents as often as you like. I was part of a funeral this week for a good man, a husband, and a father. He had been a member of this church for over twenty years and ...read more

In His Name (John 16)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 7, 2025

Is praying in Jesus' name an acknowledgement that it is through Him that we have access to the Father? Let's look at John 16.

Were Christians kicked out of synagogues? Does the Holy Spirit guide us? What does it mean asking the Father in Jesus’ name? Let’s look at John 16. If Christians were banned from synagogues, would some also be expelled from churches for putting Christ before vain traditions? I have told you these ...read more

We Thirst, Jesus Quenches

Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Apr 6, 2008

Jesus talks with a Samaritan woman who is "drinking" of the water of relationships. 6 men can’t satisfy her. But the 7th Man, the God-Man Jesus Christ perfectly satisfies!

Please open your Bibles to John chapter 4. We have a very interesting story here before us this morning, a story of Jesus speaking with a Samaritan woman at a well. This story is interesting because the Jews did not speak with Samaritans. Samaritans were called “half-breeds.” You see when Assyria ...read more

Give Up Or Get Up?

He’s just hopeless! She is beyond redemption! I am never going to make it! They have no future whatsoever! They are hopeless! Are you ever tempted to speak like that?

The Book We Skip And The God We Need

Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 27, 2025

How would you like to pray to this god to answer your desperate prayers each day? Prayer would be a gamble each and every time. If you were single and you were praying for love and marriage, this kind of mercurial god might give you Hannibal Lecter or Jeffrey Epstein for a boyfriend!

If the Bible were a playlist, Nahum would be the song you’d skip every time. It’s the book we totally ignore. But we shouldn’t ignore it. Here’s why you ...read more
