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

The Power Of The Gospel. Pt.2

Contributed by Howard Strickland on May 18, 2022

Doctor Neil Anderson writes—Possibly the biggest lie believed by those who are struggling with an addictive behavior is that freedom from addiction is not possible. If we believe we are doomed to remain in bondage, we probably will remain in bondage.

The Power Of The Gospel. Pt.2 Luke 4:18-19TPT Jesus is baptized by His cousin John. He did this to fulfill all righteousness. After He’s baptized, God’s word proclaims, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness. Jesus lived in this desert country for 40 days. Moreover, Jesus will be ...read more

Did The Holy Spirit Empower Only 12 Disciples On The Day Of Pentecost?

There is a teaching in the church that on the Day of Pentecost, only the 12 Disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, and not all of the 120 who were in the Upper Room - A Two-Part Message

Embracing Grace

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more
