We may not always notice, but a supernatural world that influences us for good or ill. How do we remain alert to its influence and power? How do we engage the supernatural and protect ourselves from its potential evils? Let's follow a man's story in Mark 9 to see.

You can hear the audio of the sermon on my podcast at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/697261/4261040 Being A Supernatural Protector Intro: • Father’s Day, but the topic is the supernatural. • Kind of a difficult transition. • But oddly appropriate. • Spirit world is real, active and we’re in a war ...read more

Believers are called by God to engage in the reconciliatory of the works of the Lord and not promote our style of worship and every other thing that turns from the truth.

In fact, all believers can attest to the instance of the truth of the scripture coming alive unexpectedly like a stream bursting forth. It simply means there is a possibility of ...read more

Being "in" the Will of God doesn’t necessarily mean that we aren’t distracted by human concerns and relationships.

Personally, I have a lot of trouble with the theological term, “the permissive will of God.” We usually apply it whenever someone has done something wrong or merely made a foolish, but not deliberate, choice and then, God makes something good out of the human mess. My problem with the term is that ...read more

Life From The Son

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

Worship is the soul turning toward Christ’s light—adoration that becomes transformation, joy that becomes service, life aligned with divine love.

The Flower and the Smile: What Worship Really Is There are moments when a question feels too obvious to ask and yet too heavy to ignore. One of those questions has followed me for years: Why does God want our worship? If He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-sufficient, why would He want—much ...read more

A great message of the ONE TRUE Church that the Lord put into motion on the Day of Pentecost.

The church was started about 120 days after the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ. The setting of this great Biblical scene was in Jerusalem, in a place the Bible calls the Upper Room.
