    based on 51 ratings
     | 9,308 views

    No matter where you are found this morning it is time to move. If you have just been a member it’s time to move. If you have just been serving it’s time to move. If you have been sharing its time to move further out than you have gone before.

    WHAT GOD HAS TO OFFER Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:14 -21 Introduction I like what David Jeremiah once said, “Everywhere you go, you meet them --- the ones who sit on the back row of life, whisper, and roll their eyes. These are people who aren’t really headed anywhere, and they’re eager to ...read more

    Caught Up, But When? Series

    Some men have read into the second coming texts, distinctions that show the difference between the rapture and what they call the "revelation." The Bible knows no such distinctions.

    6. SUPPOSED DISTINCTIONS It is disappointing to read the works of men that are normally trustworthy in their treatment of Scripture, when it comes to their promotion of a pre-tribulation rapture. Consider our brother Dave Hunt, no lightweight in the Word. Over and over his publications define ...read more

    Arise And Contend In Battle

    based on 1 rating
     | 16,921 views

    God is calling on soldiers of Christ to arise and use the weapon of prayer, to contend in battle in the place of prayer so we, our families, the church of God and our nation can be delivered from every evil work.

    Introduction Arise and contend in battle is not a suggestion, an advice or a plea. It is an order. An order that can only come from a Commander-in-Chief or head of an army. Indeed God is our Commander in Chief who based on Deuteronomy 2:24, has issued an order to us to arise and contend in battle. ...read more

    Each day that passes brings us one day closer to the coming of the Lord. Are we ready, watching and waiting, or will we be left behind?

    ONE DAY CLOSER As we awoke this morning and began to prepare to come to the House of God I wonder how many of us had the thought to run through our minds that this might be the day that Jesus comes to take his Bride away?
