    The Lord has been of late speaking to me about obedience. You hear a lot today about hearing the voice of God. The (3) voices you hear, you, God and the devil. Classes, seminars, etc. and etc. Personally I don’t think we have any trouble hearing. I “know”

    The Lord gives every person great potential, but few seem to come close to realizing it. Illustration: Samson possessed great potential for God, but gave into temptations that eventually destroyed him. Why do so many people with great promise fritter away their opportunities?

    Too many times, we as believers are backing up when God has said......"Go Forward"

    Backing Up Or Going Forward ? Exodus 14:8-13, Phil 3:13-14 Illust. The Joke was on me. Are we backing up or going forward as a church ? How about in your own spiritual life ? Do you ever feel like you take 2 steps forward, and 3 steps back ? This morning I ...read more

    Many Christians level off at some point in their walk with God. I believe we must always be striving to be more like our Lord. Therefore, we must move up! The scripture calls it going from "glory to glory" I call it mving up from "level to level."

    It’s Time to Go Up! Pastor Jamie Wright * Maranatha Fellowship Church * 07-20-03 2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Numbers 13:30 “And Caleb ...read more

    We must bear in mind that there’s no shortcut to Calvary and to Heaven. There’s only one way, that is denying yourself and following Jesus Christ.

    Introduction: Whoever wants to follow the Lord and becomes a disciple pays a great price. As believers we have five callings. First, we were called to salvation. Then we became babes in Christ born with a new spirit of obedience. As we progressed we are called to be members of the body of Christ, ...read more

    God can & will open doors for us in ministry, but we must remember to keep our focus on Him. We cannot afford to look at those things which would deter us from God’s will.

    We have a choice: we can either learn from the real Jesus of Scripture, or the Jesus we’d prefer to believe in.
