    If you grew up in Pentecostal circles as I did, chances are you heard , used or are still using the phrase “I plead the blood.” However, some people in the church world today don’t understand the phrase and ask, “What does it mean?”

    When we get saved, each of us is given our own piece of Holy Spirit fire.What we do with that fire after that is up to each individual. Either we keep it burning brightly or let our fire go out.

    Our will and God’s will are as two separate pieces of wood; so long as both lie side by side there is no cross; but put them across one another, and then there is a cross. We must take up the cross Christ lays on us if we would be His disciples. Whenever

    When you consider what Jesus offers, it’s a wonder that people arn’t queing up to obey the gospel isn’t it? But, sadly, so many wont come to Jesus. Why not? This lesson offers several reasons.

    Why Isn’t Everyone A Christian? Reasons People Won’t Obey The Gospel Introduction “’Gold! Gold! I’ve struck gold!

    The name of the king, Zedekiah means the righteousness of Jehovah. Jeremiah predicted he would be cut off and a branch would be raised up called, Jehovah-Tsidkenu: The Lord is our righteousness. (Jeremiah 23:6). Jeremiah was the true prophet and proved to be right on both accounts.

    There is a famous quote of Abraham Lincoln when some said to Lincoln, I hope that the Lord is on our side.

    Pentecost: Keep In Step With The Spirit

     | 2,742 views

    When children of God walk through this life, we should not be wandering aimlessly, getting tripped up by our desires, but God calls us to keep in step, to watch where we put our feet, and to follow the lead of the one who commands us: “Walk in the Spirit!”

    When the Holy Spirit was first poured out on the church, that event was spectacular in every way, with a rushing wind, tongues of fire on the disciples’ heads, and foreign languages on their lips. But that first Pentecost was more than just an impressive beginning. For now that they had the Holy ...read more

    God works deep in our lives to transform our deepest sorrow into an abiding joy. David knew this, despite that fact that he was one messed-up fella, and despite that parts of his life stunk. What's the journey from wailing to dancing, from despair to joy?

    Sermon for Church at the Mission – July 3, 2016 The live version of this sermon is here: https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/26627107/posts/1077921147 In God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, whether we're doing well or poorly, whether we're in deep despair or dancing on a mountain top, we ...read more

    The reason so many "church members" fail to live for God and sometimes end up falling for every wind of doctrine even to following cults and fads, especially college kidsis because they lack the knowledge of the Word.

    *Boudreaux was out fishin’ when he came back in with a boat load of fish. The game warden was watchin’ and came and said, "Boudreaux, how you caught all dem fish?" And Boudreaux say, "Com’ see."

    A Biblical Look At Divorce And Remarriage

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 10, 2001
    based on 91 ratings
     | 6,077 views

    This is a study of what the Scriptures teach on the subject of divorce and remarriage. The Church has failed to up-hold God’s design for marriage and has misled many by teaching the permission of divorce and remarriage under the New Covenant.

    It is reported that one in two marriages end in divorce. What begins at a wedding ceremony usually with a minister, parents and friends increasingly ends in a courtroom with a judge, lawyers and strangers. The average marriage now lasts seven years. Fifty-five percent of all Americans say a ...read more

    Worship is the way we live everyday—that we do here on Sunday morning is only practice—it is only the warm-up to way life is to be lived in relationship with God and other people in the everyday world.

    (Main ideas in this message from Ed Young of Fellowship Church) Today I am concluding this series of talks on worship. I thought about calling today’s message--www.godon-line.com.

    It is immaterial how old a person is, how shattered, how poor or rich; no one is locked up in the past. One could always and everywhere follow the voice of his or her angel and start a new life.

    Jim’s parents regarded him as dull and unintelligent. He performed poorly in his studies. His bad performance in the school confirmed the opinion of his parents.

    During that time, I discovered that when a person is able to face terrifying obstacles with the assurance that God is truly in control, an awesome sense of power, strength, assurance, and confidence begins to well up inside your heart.

    God is in Control Psalm 103:19-22 I remember a particular time in my life when I was struggling a bit with discouragement, doubt, fear, and loneliness. I spent many evenings having long conversations with a close friend, to whom I poured out my heart for hours. Many times during these talks, my ...read more

    A grace-filled sermon about Peter. We all mess up, even though we shouldn’t, and don’t have to, but we do. There’s still hope for us anyway.
