    based on 1 rating
     | 19,460 views

    How does the resurrection of Lazarus impact people in this day? Since Jesus has power over life and death, we see that He alone can give life to those dead in sin.

    “A certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So, the sisters sent to him, saying, ‘Lord, he whom you love is ill.’ But when Jesus heard it he ...read more

     | 10,451 views

    Is your God big enough to do whatever He wants? For many of us who follow the Lord, we are not certain that God is big enough to do what is needed for us to succeed.

    “Then Job answered the LORD and said: ‘I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. “Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?” Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. “Hear, and I will ...read more

    Keys To Prosperity

     | 26,414 views

    The life of Joseph presents a classic portrayal of one who is a consumate example of what it means to live in true prosperity. Genesis 39 gives us keys to Joseph's, and our, prosperity.

    By the time you reach Genesis chapter 39, bible readers and Sunday school attendees have already discovered some things about Joseph. By the time we reach Genesis chapter 39, Joseph (the son of Jacob and Rachel who’s name means remover or increaser) is being delivered out of a pit. Ask me, ...read more

    We shall either live as followers of Christ or as enemies of the cross of Christ. There is no in between.

    “Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.

    God has called the church to trail and has given the verdict that the church needs to wake up. We are asleep when it comes to God's business and ministry. The world is awake and thriving because the church won't wake up and stand on God's principle

    The Church on Trial Pt. 5 Wake Up Revelation 3:1-6 (NIV) 1) To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of god and the seven stars.

    When we understand God's heart and Divine design for our finances and put His design into practice, we put ourselves in a position to experience the abundant life He desires for us and for our families.

    Rock Solid Finances: Part 1 “Live Simply” Preached by Jimmy Seibert 4/18/2010 God’s desire for us is that money doesn’t have our heart, but He does. The purpose of money is to fulfill God’s purposes on the earth, not just ours. My prayer is that in this journey over ...read more

    Saving Faith: A Matter Of The Heart Series

    Calling on the Lord has never saved anybody, but calling on the name of the Lord, always saves. How can you do that? How can you have that kind of faith? I’ve noticed there are at least three different types of faith I think everybody possesses.

    INTRODUCTION We have come now to what I believe to be the clearest instructions in all the Bible that tell a person how they can be saved. How they can get from Texas to heaven. You may see in the bulletin there a little outline, you might want to follow along and fill it in. I’m convinced ...read more

     | 3,933 views

    The glory of Christ is witnessed in what many consider to be the pedestrian. The people of God, serving as the hands of Christ, the eyes of Christ, the mouth of Christ, are the glory of Christ.

    “As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.” [1] Reading the Word one Sunday morning, I was arrested by something Paul wrote in his Second Letter to the Christians in Corinth. The Apostle has been urging the Corinthian congregation to be generous as they ...read more
