    Crowns Anyone!

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 4, 2016
     | 8,370 views

    I want you to remember that part of that exciting anticipation is His promise to reward His servants for a job well done. Tonight, I want you to see that Scripture not only supports the idea of eternal rewards, it spells out the specifics.

    Crowns Anyone! 1 Corinthians 3:10-14NASB Bob Carlyle, who sang Butterfly Kisses a few years back, also sang these words in the song Heaven: “Sometimes this tired old world starts bringing my heart down, but you gotta bear the cross if you want to wear the crown.” To have ...read more

    Is prayer minsitry / healing / the laying on of hands only for "Big Successful Evangelical Mega Churches" - or is it for small sacramental churches like the ones we come from? This talk was the introductory talk at an On Fire Prayer Ministry Training Day

    I don’t know if any of you have ever seen the Steve Martin Film “leap of Faith” from the early 90s. It perhaps perpetuates the stereotypes that many non-christians would have about the Christian healing ministry. Steve Martin portrays a travelling pentecostal faith healer called ...read more

    The Hypocritical Argument Series

    Contributed by Ron Henson on Jun 26, 2015
     | 4,122 views

    The most common argument against faith is the existence of suffering. If there was a God, there would be no suffering. This argument is hypocritical in that we choose suffering. God gave us the choice, and we chose suffering rather than bliss.

    Suffering Romans 1:28 Introduction: 1. Atheists love to play this card, it is their trump card • The Problem of Evil takes the following form: A God that is all powerful would be able to prevent evil and suffering. A God that is all knowing would know that evil and suffering happen. A God ...read more

    Manipulation By Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 26, 2016
     | 5,892 views

    Manipulation is a dishonest method to control others, get our way, or make others think an idea was theirs; it stands in contrast to making honest straightforward requests. Manipulation by guilt is perhaps the most common form of manipulation.

    Manipulation by Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests (topical) 1. A lot of persuasion — even in church — can be based upon emotion and a lack of logic. “Pastor Smith was winding up his sermon about the dangers of alcohol and the need for temperance. He shouted, 'If I had all the ...read more

     | 12,947 views

    When your ear itches then you're going to listen to something, but it will not be sound doctrine. When we judge the word of God given by His preachers & teachers based on our belief rather than judging our belief by the scriptures they bring we're deaf.

    2 Timothy 4:1-4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come ...read more
