    The World Will Dim Your Light

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 8, 2024
     | 2,027 views

    This message is about a vision the Lord gave to me and it’s interpretation.

    Three weeks ago, during the Sunday evening service, we had a time of quietness as the Lord’s presence filled the sanctuary. I want to share a vision that the Lord gave to me during that time. When I got home, I wrote it down and let it sit for a day or two. When I went back to it, the Lord ...read more

    Visible Faith

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 19, 2024
     | 1,574 views

    People tend to think about faith as a private matter. James would argue otherwise for a visible faith.

    As we’ve been studying the book of James - we have observed how he calls us to have a “spiritual wholeness” - a faith that runs throughout all that we are. A faith that is revealed in our character, exhibited in conflicts, and heard in our conversations. He calls us to… persevere amidst trials, ...read more

    Living In The Kingdom Part 13 Series

     | 1,918 views

    In Part 13 of this series, we examine what Jesus said about our charitable giving being private. When we give to the church or do anything for those in need it should not be publicized in a desire to receive recognition for what we have done.

    Living in the Kingdom 13 Scripture: Matthew 6:1-4; 23:2-5; Exodus 13:16; Numbers 15:38 I am continuing with my series “Living in the Kingdom.” This week we will begin examining what is recorded in the first four verses of Matthew chapter six. In these verses Jesus talks about those things we do ...read more

    This is the first time Jesus taught his first disciples about prayer. His first lesson was, “Spend time alone with the Father in prayer.” If we don’t follow his first lesson, we are not following the example or the command of Christ.

    "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:6 A little boy was saying his bedtime prayers when his mother passed by his room and stopped to listen. “Bless Mommy and ...read more

    Getting Life Right: Righteousness Has Its Rewards Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 18, 2020
     | 3,834 views

    The rewards of serving God are a righteous life with him. God rewards prayer, giving, and seeking him (fasting). Seeking rewards without seeking God misses God's best.

    Getting Life Right: RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS ITS REWARDS—Matthew 6:1-8, 16-18 ***In a commercial for a credit card, a young man and woman are sitting at a table in a restaurant.

    Types Of Fasts In The Bible

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 15, 2025
     | 545 views

    In the Old and New Testaments, we see different types of fasts that brought about supernatural results. Each fast had a distinct purpose and pattern, but all had one common factor: they were directed toward God and done with sincerity of heart.

    TYPES OF FASTS IN THE BIBLE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 6:16-18 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 58:6-9, Esther 4:16, Daniel 10:2-3, Joel 2:12, Acts 13:1-3 INTRODUCTION: Fasting is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines in the Bible. It is a God-ordained means of humbling ...read more

    Michal’s kind of worship was the type of worship that plagues many churches today. David’s worship is the kind of we need. But how do we deal with the Michals amongst us?

    OPEN: A little 6 year old girl and her 4 year old brother were sitting together in church. The brother was giggling, singing and talking out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. “You’re not supposed to talk out loud in church” she said. “Why? Who’s going to stop me?” the boy ...read more

    A sermon on the doctrine of illumination (Material taken from Dr. Jack Cottrell's books, Power From On High, Chapter 2, and The Holy Spirit: A Biblical Study, Chapter 2)

    HoHum: Before we get too reactionary or begin to ask about this or that, this extreme episode is what Dr. Cottrell is teaching against. “I was teaching an adult Bible class at a local church some years ago when the subject of the need and use of the Bible was raised.

    As in the story of Judas, there are dark passages in the Bible, but they can help us if we use an interpretation which enables their meaning to emerge in the light of the mystery of Christ.

    Feast of St. Matthias 14 May 2012 Verbum Domini Today’s feast gives us an opportunity to reflect on one of the darkest moments in our salvation history. The crucifixion of Jesus was set up by a traitor, Judas “the Iscariot.” It also helps us to consider what the Holy Father and ...read more

    Sometimes we need to take a fresh look at long held or cherished traditions and teachings.

    Having been raised somewhat in the Methodist church and my wife in a Lutheran background being saved was not in our vernacular as neither one of us ever heard that concept. Both of us thought being baptized as a child was all we needed. That is sad since I learned about both Wesley and ...read more

    Called To Shine!

    Our light should shine in such a manner that men will glorify God through witnessing our good works not to glorify men and have them in admiration but ever to point to Christ, to lift Him up to have Him glorified in us.

    Mat 5:14-16 KJV Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good ...read more
