Rewiring The Heart: When Purity Becomes Pleasure Again

Contributed by Charles Payne on Oct 22, 2025

his sermon explores how God does more than forgive sexual sin—He retrains desire itself. It shows how repeated sin creates reflexive pathways in the heart and mind, and how grace restores intimacy by building a new spiritual “trail” toward purity.

Faith In Healing

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 1, 2023

Everything in Mark chapter 5 concerns itself with healing and restoration: from the healing and restoring of a demon possessed man to the resurrection of a little girl. In-between these two healings are that of the woman with the twelve-year issue of blood.

Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may ...read more
