     | 2,420 views

    What exactly is possession? It’s when a demon has actually entered someone and is exerting a level of control over the person. All of us today have been influenced by demons from time to time.

    In my hometown growing up there was a main drive you’d go down called Grand Avenue. And as kids we’d often be traveling with the family in the car.

The murder rate has gone up in nearly all our major cities – including the one I live ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 11, 2023
     | 1,156 views

    A great imagery is that of the Church being a Building, a spiritual house for God. The most vital part of the construction is the CORNERSTONE. We look at Christ the Cornerstone and the laying of the foundation of the Church. We are the continuing living stones.

    SOME ASPECTS OF THE CHURCH FROM ITS BEGINNING - THE CHURCH’S CONSTRUCTION - PART 6 THE CHURCH’S CONSTRUCTION The Church is entirely a New Testament concept though as we saw, it is seen typically in the Old Testament. In this section I want to look at the formation of the Church, and its ...read more

     | 2,517 views

    Taking a long honest look at ourselves is one of the hardest things for us to do. Admitting that I need help, something is wrong in my life is very difficult.

    Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his ...read more

    A sermon about accepting the love God has for us--really accepting it.

    “Love Drives out Fear” 1 John 4:7-21 This passage of Scripture contains so much, so many nuggets that you could probably have an entire sermon series based on these 14 verses.

    Asleep

     | 1,239 views

    As humans we grow tired and require a nap; at least I do in the afternoon. Does God grow sleepy and require a daily nap in the afternoon? If we take the days of the week literally as with the creation, does God sleep every seventh day?

    In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. After creating everything, God rested. Does that mean God went to sleep? As humans we grow tired and require a nap; at least I do in the afternoon. Does God grow sleepy and require a daily nap in the afternoon? If we take the days of the week ...read more
