In the first portion was the call to national repentance and turning to the Lord for His Covenant blessings. After a national turning to God ...read more

    The “unclean spirit” is Satan or his demons. Satan delights in causing uncleanness in persons, places and things. His going out of a man, as presented here, is voluntary, not like his eviction by force as when Christ cast out demons.

    Harmony of the Gospels -AD 28- Capernaum Title: Jesus Answers a Demand for a Sign Matthew 12:38-45, Luke 11:24-26, 29-36 -Matthew- 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house ...read more

    ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT JESUS? John 7:14-18, 25-36 Whenever the secular media try to do specials on religion in America, Evangelicals are usually characterized as being part of a “subculture.” That is, we are not considered to be part of mainstream America.

    As Christians we would never knowingly even consider belittling the RESURRECTION of Christ, but most of us have never gave very much thought as to why “THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF IN CONNECTION TO EASTER”, so I want to point out a few

    Acts 12:1-4 “EASTER” & CHRIST RESURRECTION 4-23-11 Today I want to talk for a few minutes on the subject of “EASTER.” Let me say before we began that I’m not trying to cause it to rain on any ones Easter parade, but I’m aware of the fact that most people ...read more

    As a church, we have certain options. We can spend our time, energy, and resources building the wall…and forfeit the church. Or we can invest our time, energy, and resources building the church and forfeit the wall. Wall or church …which will it be?

Walls even kill. Remember the Berlin Wall that split families, a city, and a country? But don't we ...read more
