    As we approach the type of change or transformation God desires to do in our lives, there are three pieces of advice that God would like us to apply that will help us be better prepared and more ready not only for Jesus’s return, but also for what God wants to do in our lives.

    "Be Ready And Prepared" Ephesians 5:15-20 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14KPlTehT30 As we approach this year’s vision of the change or transformation God desires to do in our lives, I talked about in January how we as God’s people are considered the Bride of Christ ...read more

    Resurrection Mercy

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 2, 2024
     | 828 views

    The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus provide the mercy of God that all of us need. In John 21, the resurrected Jesus appeared offered Peter the mercy of God that Peter so desperately needed.

    A. How great it is to worship the Lord together today, on the Sunday that many refer to as Easter Sunday, or Resurrection Sunday, because it correlates to the Sunday that Jesus arose from the grave two thousand years ago. 1. Praise God that the tomb of Jesus is still empty! 2. Turn to the person ...read more

    Jesus took the fire we deserved, finishing redemption completely—no tasks, no payment—just perfect grace from the fire that doesn’t burn.

    I sometimes wonder what it would look like if Amazon started selling indulgences. “SoulPrime™ — Skip the wait for forgiveness!

    The Power Of Fellowship Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Sep 1, 2024
     | 2,397 views

    Fellowship was more than just an activity for the early Christians—it was a way of life that fostered deep connections, mutual support, and spiritual growth. Through fellowship, including shared meals, prayer, and encouragement, the early church thrived in unity and love.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Community — Church Fuel 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

    The Laws Of Almighty God (2 Of 5)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 5, 2024
     | 755 views

    This is the second message in this series on The Laws of Almighty God. The one thing we learned in the first sermon in this series is that a law is a proven fact, which works EVERY TIME for EVERY ONE!

    Such is the case with the scientific LAW OF GRAVITY. For the law of gravity says, “What goes up must come down.” It does not matter who throws something up in the air, the law of gravity says the results will be the same every time for everyone. If this was not true, then the law of gravity ...read more

    What is the state of people after they die before the final resurrection at the second coming of Jesus? We want the comfort of knowing that our loved ones are safe in the arms of God. What does the Bible say about this?

    A. We are in a sermon series called Eternal Questions…Biblical Answers. 1. So far in our series, we have talked about when Christ comes and when death comes. 2.

    This message focuses on understanding God's nature and humanity's role before Him, as well as the dedication required for divine service, even in the face of difficulties. It urges people to align their views with God's, so His holiness can reveal and purify their impurities.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 124 views

    Jesus personally calls and empowers ordinary people to bring hope and healing, inviting us to trust his authority and join his compassionate mission.

    Friends, imagine Jesus speaking your name with a smile. Picture calloused hands from a carpenter’s bench reaching for ordinary people with ordinary lives—fishermen with tired shoulders, a tax collector with a checkered reputation, men whose resumes looked unimpressive by any earthly standard.

    True revival is living daily in the Spirit’s righteousness, peace, and joy, letting God’s love transform ordinary moments and relationships into Kingdom life.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that’s doing a lot of work. Bills stack up, headlines shout, and our own hearts whisper old worries with new volume. And yet, into that ache comes a whisper stronger than worry: the King is here, and where the King is, joy begins to sing. Not a thin grin, not ...read more
