    Praying For Our Church

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 12, 2020
     | 3,504 views

    Paul's second prayer for the church in Ephesus is a great model of how we can pray for our church and for other churches today, for God to strengthen his people with power.

    PRAYING FOR THE CHURCH INTRODUCTION We’ve now come to the sixth and last in our mini-series on prayer. We first looked at Gideon’s prayer for guidance. Then we spent two weeks on the Lord’s Prayer. Then we had two weeks on Daniel’s prayer of confession on behalf of his people. Today we’re ...read more

    When A Miracle Makes You Mad Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 3,610 views

    Today, I want to tell the story… the story of three people – Jesus, the miracle-worker, the religious leaders, and a diseased man. And you’ll see two emotional reactions for us and we’ll see two life lessons. Along with way, I’ll even share with you one of Grimm’s fairy tales.

    When people talk about miracles, they typically think of healing miracles. One day the tumor is there; the next day, it’s no longer. Someone prays for a blind man and he regains his sight. Miracles are supernatural events that offer hope and healing to people in need. We started a series on ...read more

    There are folks who do not care a thing about what the Bible teaches, but they do have favorite scriptures they bring up when it is convenient for them.

    There are two verses that we hear about frequently. (1) 1 Timothy 5: 23 seem to be a favorite Scripture for some. Paul had written to Timothy, who had a stomach condition, and he said to him, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often ...read more

    Route To Great Awakening

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,073 views

    We can go on living as though this world were everything, and there is no eternal world or great God to whom we are accountable. But when Christ returns will each one of us account for your life with joy?

    Opening illustration: God awakened me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the so many lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way ...read more

    Would You Too Reject Him?

    Contributed by John Herrmann on Oct 4, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,507 views

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more
