    We're On God's Team

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 18, 2023
     | 2,502 views

    One of the unquestioned beliefs in the Church today is that God is in control of everything that happens in our lives and on this planet. This message addresses this belief using the analogy of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as coaches of a football team.

    Turn with me to Romans 12. We're going to read verses four and five. (4) For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: (5) `So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Some years ago, a well-known professional ...read more

    O let God’s Spirit fill your soul And cast out every sin, Then shall you love both friend and foe And know His peace within

    Twelve Ways the Holy Spirit Benefits You (Rom 8:26,27) - "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." Illustration: Henry Bosch tells a humorous story about a ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 14,157 views

    The Life Jesus came to give according to John 10:10 is an abundant life, This overflowing life is only found in the Spirit. If this is the life Jesus came to give we must conclude that it is the normal christian life.

    Eph 5:17-21 The Normal Christian Life: #1 Having been Spirit Filled & #2 Being Full of the Spirit. Jesus First Miracle was that of Turning The Water Into Wine First Full of Water = Salvation Then Full of Wine = The Spirit. The progression is ...read more

    What The Holy Spirit Can Do For You Series

     | 10,162 views

    You absolutely need the indwelling of Gods Spirit to lead you into a deep, personal and intimate relationship with God: To be in Christ and one with the Father

    Sometimes I feel a bit nervous when people talk about the Holy Spirit. I can understand God even without having seen a picture of Him because, even though the Bible says that “God is Spirit” (John 4:24), it also describes Him in quite human terms. Daniel pictured Him with clothing as white as snow ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is an important part of the trinity, yet I would take an educated guess that most of the sermons you will have heard over the years have focused on God the Father or on God the Son. I know that you will have heard sermons about the gifts

    Our theme for this year is Fresh Fire and our preaching this year is going to focus on The Holy Spirit and each month we will focus on a specific aspect of His ministry. The Holy Spirit is an important part of the trinity, yet I would take an educated guess that most of the sermons you will have ...read more

    Now is the time that the watchman should be warning the people of impeding danger, equipping them to be double fisted, working in one hand and ready to fight in the other like Nehemiah did.

    The Spirit of the Nicolaitans in the Church “Especially the Black Church” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- There is in the Body of Christ a clarion cry today from a remnant of the people of God that I truly believe is coming from the mouths of burden ridden souls and going directly to ...read more

    Are You Sick? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,169 views

    Jesus tweaks the argument of who is in control just a little bit to introduce the real sickness in mankind - sin. He is in control of that too. Are you willing to give Him control over your total cleansing from evil?

    We’ve spent a couple of weeks in Matthew chapter 8 talking about control and authority. Matthew shows us that Jesus has it—over the seen and unseen universe—but that we as humans are loathe to give up control over our own lives and give it to Him. We saw a couple of notable examples in a Gentile ...read more

    Why do we hold to the Virgin Birth and what difference does it make?

    Drawing On The Power Of God

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,300 views

    At Pentecost, God enabled Jesus' disciples to do what they could not do on their own. God fulfilled Jesus' promise to spread the gospel to all lands, as the pilgrims heard the good news in thier own language. God calls us, too, to be his witnesses.

    Acts 2:1-21 Drawing on the Power of God A few days after the Thanksgiving holiday of 2016, Eric Heffelmire was working on his GMC truck at his family home in Vienna, Virginia. As he recalls, “I was on my back, face up, and I was trying to get some corroded brake lines when apparently the jack ...read more

    If only we could make the world believe that we loved them, there would be fewer empty churches, and a smaller proportion of our population who never darken a church door. Let love replace duty in our church relations, and the world will soon be evangeliz

    Let the Spirit of God Infuse You With Love (I Cor 13:4-8) We all need a fresh infusion of God’s love for without it we become apathetic, angry and self-absorbed.
