     | 558 views

    God loves us so much that he chooses to Favor us.

    God is a good God and loves us all so much that He had to send His only Begotten Son to save us all from the kingdom of Satan and translated us into the kingdom of His Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We remember that He said in His word that He loved us even before we knew Him - 1 John 4:19. The ...read more

    God's Spirit Is Poured Onto A Wilderness Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jun 5, 2022
     | 5,983 views

    The Spirit is poured out from on high, “and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field.” It’s like the change from a dry desert into garden land. When God sends his Spirit, He begins to produce good fruits. That’s the sure effect of his work: a harvest for God.

    If you looked back on the thirty-two chapters of Isaiah before our text, what would stand out about the people of God? How could we describe the nation of Judah in this book, and what they’ve shown themselves to be like? It’s not a flattering picture. Back in the very first chapter, the very first ...read more

    It is not a lack of money or the lack of laws, but the lack of God in our society that has produced this violence and until we turn from our wicked ways, run back to God and His ways evil will continue to abound.

    This Generation By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Marvin Gaye in what is probably his most famous song asked the question “What’s Going On”?

    To experience Pentecost’s life changing reality and the fullness of the Holy Spirit, we must first have to experience Gethsemane, Calvary, and the Empty Tomb. Come and join us on this journey.

    “The Road to Pentecost” Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTTRLw_2JDk Last week I made a statement where I said that we have to stop seeking the experience of Pentecost, that is, the experience of the Holy Spirit, and instead we need to seek Pentecost’s or the Holy Spirit’s life changing ...read more

    I think God gave us the caterpillar and the butterfly to tell us about ourselves. To tell us that we need a transformation to become all we’re meant to be.

    “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” -2nd Cor 3:17-18 We as ...read more

    When Persecution Comes Calling

     | 532 views

    The Church has been missing a valuable tool in fighting oppression. The authority of Christ remains on our lips.

    For anyone that has been following the news there are a growing number of stories that speak of the persecution of Christians. For many, such articles seem surreal, they remain so far removed from our current peaceful existence that we find no reason to try and relate, let alone guard ourselves ...read more

    More Than Admiration

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jul 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 723 views

    True discipleship demands more than admiration of Jesus—it requires repentance, obedience, and a heart surrendered to His Word.

    More than Admiration Luke 11:27-32 Have you ever longed to see Jesus perform a miracle—to witness the blind receive sight, the mute speak, or demons cast out? Many in Jesus' day saw exactly that… and still walked away unconvinced. Why? Because what God seeks is not spectators—but surrendered ...read more

Many people look around at the world and say there has to be more than what I see and what I feel and if life is more than all of ...read more
