No Prayer No Power

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on May 29, 2023

We neglect spending time at His feet and thus we suffer defeat.

1 Kings 17:1-6 1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 3 Get thee hence, and turn ...read more

The Perfect Will Of God

Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 3, 2023

In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul offers us profound insights into aligning our lives with God's divine purpose. Let us turn our attention to Romans 12:1-2, where we will uncover the significance of surrendering ourselves to God and experiencing His perfect will.

I. A Call to Surrender (Romans 12:1) The passage begins with a powerful call to surrender. Paul urges us, by the mercies of God, to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God. This call goes beyond mere outward acts of worship. It encompasses our entire being—our thoughts, ...read more

"all Things New, A New Year Message"

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 14, 2022

For many of us, a new year is a time for resolutions and getting rid of bad habits. Today is January the 8th…so far, so good! Someone was writing down New Year resolutions: “Gain weight, save less money, set realistic goals.”

Norman Vincent Peal spent New Year’s Eve in Rome. A friend warned him to stay inside his hotel for his own safety, because people have a habit of throwing old, unwanted things out their windows on New Year’s Eve. He explained, “If you should be walking down the street, you’re likely to have an ...read more

Jesus Calls On Us To Repent

Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 3, 2024

From Mark 1, we see the subject of repentance was raised by both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ

Today we are looking at the Christian foundational topic of repentance, and what it means for us. First of all, if we look at the beginning of the Book of Mark we see John baptising in the River Jordan.

God's Spirit Is Poured Onto A Wilderness Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jun 5, 2022

The Spirit is poured out from on high, “and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field.” It’s like the change from a dry desert into garden land. When God sends his Spirit, He begins to produce good fruits. That’s the sure effect of his work: a harvest for God.

If you looked back on the thirty-two chapters of Isaiah before our text, what would stand out about the people of God? How could we describe the nation of Judah in this book, and what they’ve shown themselves to be like? It’s not a flattering picture. Back in the very first chapter, the very first ...read more

How Can We Be Good?

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 7, 2019

In order to grow in obedience and godliness, we must start by having minds that are "alert and fully sober".

In this passage, Peter is addressing a question that each of us struggles with: how can we be good? Because we do want to be good, at least theoretically. Don’t we? We want to be people who do the right thing, who are honorable, who are worthy of respect, people who tell the truth. We want to be ...read more

The Voice Of Prophetic Preaching: Cry Loud And Spare Not

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 30, 2019

The only path to the High Life! Isaiah must cry loud without fear or intimidation and show them their sins which they go on in. They have a clear knowledge of good and evil, sin and duty, and the convictions of their consciences concerning their sin.

Sermon. The Voice of Prophetic Preaching: Cry Loud and Spare Not Isaiah 58: 1-14 Introduction -The Prophet Isaiah being assured of his vocation by the Spirit of God, sets himself alone against all the wickedness of His people.

Living Daddy Down

Return To A Listening Heart

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025

A pastor’s burden exposes spiritual deafness in the church and calls believers and leaders alike to listen, repent, realign, and return to Christ.

There are moments in ministry when the burden becomes heavier than the words. Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more

Subject: God’s Answer For The Dead Situations Of Life

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 14, 2025

In Ezekiel 37, speaking a prophetic message to dry bones means to actively declare God's word and promises over seemingly hopeless situations, believing that God can bring life and restoration where there appears to be none.

Subject: "God’s Answer for the Dead Situations of Life" Text: Ezekiel 37: 1-14 “The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere ...read more

The Heart Of The Matter

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

God’s grace replaces our stone hearts with living ones, using unlikely means to prove salvation beats only by His mercy.

The Can Is Empty

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025

Humanity was created full, fractured by sin, yet through Christ the Living Water, God refills us to reflect His image again.

Introduction – Just Add Water I bought a can of dehydrated water the other day. The label said, “Just add water.” I stared at it for a while and thought, Now there’s an honest product — empty but hopeful.

It Begins With Me

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025

Revival starts where one heart turns—opening closed doors, cleansing hidden sin, and welcoming the Spirit’s rain until joy returns again.

Introduction — The Long Wait for Rain Sometimes revival doesn’t arrive with thunder. Sometimes it seeps in quietly—like rain through hard, cracked ground. For years we may live with the crust of complacency, calling it contentment. We tell ourselves that the season of power is past, that we’ve ...read more

God’s Word is wonderful to appreciate, vital to absorb, and powerful to apply—it shapes our steps, anchors our souls, and reveals God’s heart.

Part 1 — Appreciate Your Bible Most of us first met the Bible through a song long before we could spell “theology.” > “The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me; I stand alone on the Word of God—the B-I-B-L-E.
