    Can Music Heal?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 23, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,844 views

    There has been a growing interest in the healing ability of music within the church. That has led some to explore ancient religious music traditions and practices as people seek supernatural encounters and deeper intimacy with God.

    “Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn — shout for joy before the LORD, the King.” (Ps 98:4-6 NIV) Music has always been an ...read more

    What should we do when confronted by those who say a particular part of the Bible is wrong? Do we defend that area or cut that part out of the Bible?

    Cut It Out 2 Timothy 3:14-17 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. ...read more

    Judas' betrayal of Jesus is one of the most vile acts in history. How do we see Judas?

    The Kiss of Life Luke 22:1-6 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him; for they feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

     | 6,453 views

    What do you do with "MARRED CLAY?" We have the tendency to throw failures under the bus. Do we love the hard to love people? Are we pronged to quit and give up? Come on my friends, let us try again. Just because you fail, does not make you a failure. Someone needs you today!

    God Is In The Detours Too

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 9, 2015
     | 9,374 views

    Life is full of surprises. With observation, we see that the Holy Spirit is as much in the detours as He is in the plans we carefully map out. Two passages in the New Testament & one in the Old demonstrate the truth of this insight.

    GOD IS IN THE DETOURS TOO Prov. 3:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: DECISIONS 1. Harry and Kitty are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. 2. Max and Betty said, “You must let us in on your secret - how have you managed to stay married for so long?" 3. Harry turns to Kitty and asks, "OK for ...read more

    Physical rhythm is the variation between noise and silence. Spiritual rhythm, on the other hand, is a variation between time spent with God and time spent with other people.

    To Have It All You Must Love All

     | 5,293 views

    It is easy to love church family members in blue sky moments, but real love is demonstrated in the grey sky days.

    This morning I want to focus on Jesus’ command: “Love each other as I have loved you." Please note it is a command and not a suggestion. You of course know that I as a military person understand the difference between a command and a suggestion. At first glance this command looks easy ...read more

    As Jesus makes his way toward Jerusalem and the Triumphant Entry of Palm/Passion Sunday he makes an important stop in Jericho to have dinner with Zacchaeus the Innocent. How many times in life do we jump to the wrong conclusions?

    Zacchaeus the “Innocent” “Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through town. 2 A man there named Zacchaeus, a ruler among tax collectors, was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but, being a short man, he couldn’t because of the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed ...read more

    Gods plan for us is to be flames of fire, It's not enough to belong to a place where the fire burns (we must become flames of fire).

    We talk a lot about the church and about the body of Christ (and we should) But I want to remind you that the church is a body made up of many members.

     | 7,738 views

    This Easter sermon focuses on the resurrection of Jesus and the potential resurrection of his followers which complete the story of Jesus. We often focus on his death, but the empty tomb is good news that requires a response.

    1. The Rest of the Story was a Monday-through-Friday radio program originally hosted by Paul Harvey. Beginning as a part of his newscasts during the Second World War and then premiering as its own series on the ABC Radio Networks on May 10, 1976, The Rest of the Story consisted of stories presented ...read more
