"where Is The Power Of God In Today's Church?"

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Feb 22, 2023

Those who embrace this message will be inspired to pursue a deeper relationship with God. Understanding that God's power is not limited to inside the church. Many people often follow pastors instead of seeking God's presence, leading to a greater power outside the church than inside.

Wait Upon The Lord

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 20, 2022

Life is full of highs and lows, from the mountain top to the valley; and God’s people were in a low spot. If Judah would learn to "wait on the Lord," then God would enable them to fly, run and walk across the finish line to victory!

Wait Upon the Lord Isaiah 40:27-31 I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Wait Upon the Lord,” but I could have easily justified calling it “Fly, Run and Walk,” and you’ll see why as we continue along.

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 19, 2023

David didn’t kill Saul, but he’s even upset that he cut off a corner of his robe. How could he do this to the one God has placed as king? This is a man with a very strong conscience.

Have you ever had something really bad happen, and you wonder to yourself? How could God let this happen? Why is this happening? Or maybe you think, I can’t handle this. You feel overwhelmed.

A Virgin Will Conceive

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010

Like Ahaz before us, we don’t want a sign from God--at least a sign that leaves God running the show. What Ahaz did on the outside, we do on the inside. We like things just the way they are, if it leaves us in charge.

Intro Isaiah’s prophecy of the Virgin giving birth was a sign against King Ahaz. It’s also a sign against us, all fallen humanity. Ahaz was a young Israelite man gone bad. He was of David’s line, but not of David’s faith. And he had become king of the Southern kingdom of Israel, Judah. Ahaz ...read more
