Everlasting Light

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2015

God’s Name defines ‘The Everlasting Light.’ There is no other name in heaven or earth or for that matter anywhere which can define this phrase. When He is the Everlasting Light, who else can be?

Restoring His House

Contributed by Rodney Burton on Jan 27, 2009

Jesus cleans the temple and declares the right use of the temple as a house of prayer.

 For far too long, the church has assumed ownership and authority of the House of God, and have used His House in a way that best suits her own needs and her own kingdom.  We have allowed too much of the world in the church, and not enough of the church in the world.  The ...read more

Not By Might, Not By Power Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 30, 2009

supposed to be, right? Not always, and not now. God doesn’t relieve us of all responsibility and do all the work for us. He empowers us, and we get started. And maybe it is a small start. A few boulders moved, a few shovels of dirt thrown to the s

Jesus Cleans His Father's House

Contributed by John Murphy on Mar 25, 2010

Was Jesus cleansing the temple a random act or was there something far deeper?

The Passover is not something most Christians give much thought to, unless they come across it in their bible readings. It was however the most important feast the Jews celebrated.

Zechariah: Christ Is Coming Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023

A. Have you ever known anyone who told you that something was going to happen, and it did? 1. What if this morning while we were sitting around the table in the fellowship hall drinking coffee and eating donuts, Mark Thomas emphatically told us that the Indianapolis Colts is going to WIN ...read more
