Get Praying

Contributed by Gary Holt on Jan 20, 2018

The Bible teaches us to pray for the lost. God is very interested in the salvation of the lost, and "urges" us emphatically to pray for the lost. God loves the lost, and so we will also.

House of prayer sermon #2 “Get Praying” 1 Timothy 2:1-7 - I urge you. I encourage you. I challenge you. I charge you. I beg you. I plead with you. I appeal to you. I’m asking you. Wow!

A Starter Or A Finisher

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 22, 2017

This message is based on Philippians 3:13 where Paul describes someone running in a race and actually finishing it. The idea coming from this message is that we are all running in a sprint individually that we must complete in order to run in the relay.

Ephesians 1:7-10 shows us the blessings of redemption.

Outside Of The Box

Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 11, 2017

The Bible is our standard and is what defines our freedoms and boundaries. It is important to spend generous amounts of time in the word in order to grow in knowing God and how God want us to serve him

In a conversation, someone posed an interesting and much needed question to me. "Is it wise to think outside of the box?" There are many, including myself, who have used this phrase. Wisdom would seem to dictate that this, like many other things, should have a caveat to it. Many things pressed to ...read more

Caricature Or Reality (Part 1)

Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 23, 2017

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

Personality, Purpose And Power Through Prayer-Luke 9:18-36 Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Feb 1, 2014
