    I am talking to those of you who are preaching, teaching the Word of God and also to those who have made resolutions to resist the devil, here comes the Word to empower you to attack the devil and punch his nose.

    Satan is the real "Dark Lord" and while the Bible tells us he is defeated, he is still dangerous. How do we deal with this powerful force of evil and overcome?

    OPEN: Several years ago, I watched a PBS Special that covered the events leading up to the "Battle of the Bulge" during WWII. It was the autumn of 1944 and Germany had been beaten back behind its borders. The Nazi war machine was in tatters and the repeated bombing raids of the Allies all but ...read more

    God calls, and we are responsible to return His call. Yet we will only respond to that general call if God calls us specially, in a way that melts down our natural resistance to Him.

    Returning Your Calls (Romans 10:13-21) Intro 1. I do not particularly enjoy the world of phone message recorders. I am glad they exist, and I have one at the office. 2. Sometimes people leave important messages. 3. Sometimes the message is not crucial, but it communicates a piece of ...read more

    Joseph did not yield to this temptation. If we could learn to have the “mind of Joseph,” (Which was the Mind of Christ) it would give us the right thinking so that we, too, could resist temptation...

    Primary Text: (Gen 39:7 KJV) And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. (Gen 39:8 KJV) But he refused… : Title: "This is a test, this is only a test..." The Temptation… Day after day Potiphar’s wife tempted Joseph to ...read more

    God wants to carry us on to completion in Christ, but, we must cooperate with His grace in order for Him to accomplish this task. Are you cooperating, resisting or ignoring the grace of God in your life?

    Why Does The Bible Make Unbelievers Uncomfortable? Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jun 7, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 867 views

    "Why does the Bible make unbelievers uncomfortable?" This discomfort isn't a new phenomenon. Throughout history, the message of the Bible has often been met with resistance and unease.

    Why Does the Bible Make Unbelievers Uncomfortable? I once read about a man who was vehemently opposed to Christianity. After years of resistance, a simple, loving conversation with a believer opened his heart to the gospel. Today, he is a passionate follower of Christ, using his testimony to reach ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,558 views

    While Jesus forbids the use of the sword as a means to advance the kingdom of God, the New Testament does not teach an absolute or principled pacifism.

    Violence – we are a culture awash in it. Violence is on our TVs and devices, whether in the form of entertainment or the nightly news. We can’t go a day without hearing about some new statistic about the death rates in “CHIRAQ” or Chicago or about another ISIS moment in the Middle East. For many of ...read more

     | 1,886 views

    What is it to stand in the gap for someone else? Is it to stand in the place for another?

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would be placed on Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would approach them (22:17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). The Jewish leaders were particularly liable for the ethical environment of the country since God had picked them to lead. Those actions and ...read more

     | 1,266 views

    The Church’s conflict is with the world system and we struggle in schools, politics, even in churches with humanism and wicked philosophies. The world entices through allurement and lusts. Churches battle these things not to be part of them. We consider compromise and lukewarmness as well.

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 1, 2025
     | 724 views

    Manasseh was the evil king who led Judah into total destruction. Yet the Bible records that after 55 years of evil, he turned to the Lord & God forgave him. This story is a picture of God's incredible grace! There's still hope!

    MIRACULOUS MERCY FOR MANASSEH 2 Kgs. 21:1-16 INTRODUCTION A. ILLUS: Conversion of ISIS Fighters 1. It sounds unbelievable. Like something out of a movie. But it’s true. 2.

     | 3,008 views

    James offers several cures for conflict. We think the problem in conflict is the other person. But James says the cure begins with us submitting to God, drawing near to God, resisting the devil and to stop judging others.

    Pornography is everywhere on TV, in the movies, and online. Adultery is now widely accepted. Sexual sinfulness is rampant. How can we resist sexual temptation and be victorious over sexual addiction? The answer...through the divine power of the Holy Spirit.

     | 1,009 views

    Evil was rampant through the area. God called a man to preach repentance. But instead of doing as he was instructed, he ran. How many Christians today are like that?

    When an evil empire displayed its power before God and the world through various demonstrations of inhumane mercilessness, that is when Jonah heard God instruct him to proceed to call the people to repent for their sins. However, Jonah ran away from God. In verses one - three: God called Jonah to ...read more
