    Breakthrough For Joy

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 2, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,529 views

    Every now and then something happens, after a long struggle, to give us a breakthrough. So with God in Christ, planning from the foundation of time for the cross and achieving a breakthrough victory at the empty tomb. So count nothing impossible.

    Every now and again, in human history, we achieve a breakthrough. Something which we have worked for, hoped for, fought and died for, finally happens. There has been struggle and agony and seemingly endless defeat, but suddenly it all works out. That’s called a breakthrough. You know the feeling. ...read more

    We must rely on grace alone, through faith alone. Works fail, grace produces Christ life in us.

    Introduction The title of this message out of Romans chapter 3 is “The Pitfall of Pietism.” For the sake of clarity and sharp delivery of this message, allow me to offer a working definition of what I mean by pietism. According to the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology pietism is: ...read more

    Toxic Living

    Instant obedience is the only kind of obedience there is; delayed obedience is disobedience. Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from Grace.

    Opening illustration: Picher, Oklahoma, is no more. In mid-2009, this once-bustling town of 20,000 went out of business. In the first quarter of the 1900s, Picher was a boomtown because of its abundant lead and zinc. Workers extracted the ore, which was used to help arm the US during both World ...read more

    Pharaoh asked who is the Lord that I should obey him. Mant peopole today ask the same question because of the lack of relationship. I have come today to answer the quest "Who is this Lord".

    “Who is this Lord” "JESUS" Exodus 5:1-6 “And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

There was another Judge in old Israel, a few Judges down from Gideon; his name was Samson. In the eyes of most folks Samson was a hero; the kind of stuff Sunday school stories are ...read more

    You cannot play with sin without a high price.

    Intro: 1. James Leach writes, “American’s may reasonably differ on whether state-crafted prayer, should be authorized in public schools, but it is an insecure, if not manipulative, view of the Christian faith, to imply that an agency of the state can block the presence of God.

    Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017
     | 8,524 views

    This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

    Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more

    Harmony In The Home

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,794 views

    Continuing with his call for submission to the Lord, Peter challenged believers to submit to God's given design for the home. Their submission to honor one another would provide honor unto the Lord.

    Harmony in the Home 1 Peter 3: 1-7 Our text today deals with the relationships within the home. On the surface it may appear that Peter has taken a different perspective, but the overall theme he sought to convey in the latter part of chapter two continues. He dealt much with our submission to ...read more

    The Cultural Impact Of Worldview & Apologetics

    Here at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Apologetics as an evangelistic endeavor and intellectual theological outreach finds itself in something of a paradox. When the West thought of itself in terms of resting on broadly Judeo-Christian assumptions, the discipline was not as desperately ...read more
