     | 4,010 views

    In 1922 Smith Wigglesworth declared in his sermon in the Wellington town hall “Step out of your soul and into your spirit” The question of how do we Step out of our soul and into our spirit without becoming a religious fanatic is a good and valid one.

     | 6,387 views

    Jesus Christ was unique in every way. From His complete deity to His perfect humanity, from His miraculous conception to His supernatural ascension, from His impeccable character to His incomparable teaching—Jesus stands above all other religious or mora

    Killing Jesus

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 4, 2013
     | 2,343 views

    When Bill O'reilly wrote Killing Jesus he meant it as a history book and not as a religious book. But did he accidentally meddle in our faith in the Holy Bible when he did so? Doubt in the Word of God has been a took of the devil from the beginning.

    Genesis 2:16-17 (NASB) “The LORD God commanded the man, saying, ‘From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.’” Genesis 3:1-3 (NASB) Now the ...read more

    Love Is Not Rude!

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,248 views

    This characteristic of love appears to be rather out-of-date. I mean, we are living in a world that is torn apart by all kinds of hatreds, national conflicts, racial strife, class warfare, & even religious hostility. Yet Paul says, "Love is not rude."

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8; Luke 7:36-50 A. As most of you realize, during the last 2 weeks I have based my messages on Paul's description of love found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a ...read more

    Have we ever been ostracized by family? Have we ever been falsely accused even by a few religious people? Do we suffer in other ways? Let’s learn to appreciate the majority of our church family that shares our suffering and our hope.

    Check And Checkmate

     | 3,875 views

    Jesus stumps the religious leaders who try to trap Him with questions about His authority. We need a Christ with authority from heaven, not earth. As Christians we battle against our flesh, which wants to follow the rules of the world were it is king instead of Christ.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Check and Checkmate” You ever play chess?

    Persecution - Are You Ready For It?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 9, 2021
     | 3,020 views

    We in America do not have any real experience with religious persecution like we find in other countries. However, over the past decades we have seen reverence for the name of Jesus become mockery. What will we do when proclaiming Jesus becomes outlawed?

    Persecution - Are You Ready For It? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His ...read more

    The religious in Jerusalem missed 2 critical applications that we must not: The old testament prophecy of Zechariah was fulfilled in what Jesus did (because of who He is), and, these were the same leaders charged with teaching God’s word and they don’t know it!

    If you want to stay out of the ditches in life, live your life in grateful dependence upon Christ, and appreciate your completeness in Him. Appreciate the purity, pardon, and power that comes from your faith in Him. For when Jesus is all you got, Jesus is all you need.

    I came across a YouTube video this week, in which a young boy encounters a sheep stuck headfirst in a long narrow trench. Take a look (show video: “Sheep gets stuck in trench”). The boy uses his hands and a belt around the leg of the sheep to rescue the trapped sheep. Immediately on being set ...read more

    Walking In The Spirit Series

     | 3,741 views

    Believers are commanded to walk in the Spirit, but what does that mean? This message explores how the human spirit is to operate in relationship to the believer's soul. With instruction from Galatians 5 the difference between walking in the Spirit versus the flesh is examined.

    Intro We are investigating the function or operation of the human spirit in relationship to God and the person’s soul. In Proverbs 20:27 we are told: “The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.” i What is this saying about the human spirit? It is the ...read more

    The Bible uses the symbolism of water repeatedly to make the point about spiritual life giving water which comes only from Jesus and Father God. This healing water is designed by God to bring life and healing to the nations and to the people of the world.

    I honestly don’t know if Jesus is glorified through crackers and grape juice. And I wonder what he must think when we come together, go through our little religious ritual and leave with the same me-first mentality that we came in with.

    Today I want to look at the different viewpoints of the last supper from the 4 gospels. Traditionally only 3 of the gospels are credited with recognizing the last supper, Matthew, Mark and Luke. Let’s look at those: Matthew 26:20-30 20When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table with the ...read more

    When I say “repentance” what comes to mind? The word has become one used primarily in religious conversations. Dinner time talks don’t usually center around the concept of repentance. Yet is a key to our eternal destiny and our every day walk with God.

    Man's reasoning and God's don't match up very well. Sinners, even very religious sinners, easily find fault with God, in how He deals with sin and righteousness. Our only hope for "making sense of it all" is to BELIEVE and accept EVERYTHING He says, rathe
