"The Church – The Body Of Jesus On Earth”...... "The Mission Statement Of Jesus”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jan 20, 2022

The home coming of Jesus is similar to a 25th or 50th class reunion. Old playmates wanted demonstrations in their village, not the message of salvation. Leonard Sweet said: “Jesus is on earth today but not as an individual. He is here in the form of the “ekklesia”, the church.

When God Speaks - Hear The Full Story It Is Great

Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Jan 24, 2022

As we engage with and listen to God, there are major blessings in listening to the full story God has for us. In this sermon we explore how the full story of God is not just guidelines and rules but it ultimately means Good News is part of our life.

An Invitation To Healing (Bonus Week) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 25, 2022

God gave most of this message to me while I was at work. I took dictation, basically, for 45 minutes, and then tried to fill in gaps without messing it up. Bottom line: God will heal you.

Brothers and sisters, understand today that I am in no way criticizing you, or condemning you, or judging you. I want to help you. There is no more obvious sign of the church's weakness and lack of faith than the chronic sickness and disease found in so many of its members. Even just among ...read more

Jesus Defends His Divinity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 27, 2022

Shortly after Jesus healed the crippled man at the pool of Bethsaida (John 5:1-15), He was confronted by the religious officials who wanted Him dead for saying that God was His Father, making Himself equal withe God. Jesus responded with facts to back up His claim.

If there was an apt description of the attitude of the Pharisees towards the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:18), it is this, "There are none so blind as those who will not see". All throughout this account of the Lord's life and work and in the other Gospels as ...read more

Church As An Icu Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 6, 2020

Jesus came to heal those sick with sin. That means the church is meant to be a hospital for those weighed down with guilt. But what can a church do better heal those lost in their shame?

A Russian soldier was wounded and was ordered to go to military hospital for treatment. When he arrived he found two doors: One was marked, ‘For the slightly wounded,’ and the other, ‘For the seriously wounded’. Well, he wasn’t seriously wounded so he entered through the first door and found ...read more

The Anointing Of God For Serving Others

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 3, 2020

This is a detailed Multi-Part series on why the daily anointing of God is vital to the Born-Again Christian.

The word “anointing” is one of the most misunderstood and misused words in the church. It is often taught as if the anointing is something that people can “feel” when the “anointing” is in the room. People go to “spiritual” teachers who have declared they have a special “anointing” and, therefore, ...read more

What If Jesus Had Not Come

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 12, 2020

Today, we want to imagine for a moment what would life be like if Jesus hadn’t been born. Jesus Himself raised that question the night before He was crucified...

Freedom In Christ Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 9, 2021

Independence Day: In God we find the basis for national freedom, or physical freedom; however, we also find in the Lord the basis for our spiritual freedom. God’s provision for our spiritual freedom is found in His one and only Son, Jesus Christ.

According to Mark Parsec, Independence Day “celebrates America’s Declaration of Independence from the tyranny of England under King George the III.”(1) The signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, he says, was not intended to declare war with England, nor did it procure our country’s ...read more
