    "o Lord, Revive Thy Work"

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,516 views

    All over this great country of ours, CHURCHES have revival services each year. Many of these churches schedule them in the FALL and in the SPRING of the year.

    While it is good that churches schedule these services frequently, it is equally good that they recognize that before a church can experience a HOLY GHOST REVIVAL MEETING, they must know WHAT A REAL HOLY GHOST REVIVAL IS. A Holy Ghost Revival consist of at least three things, such as: 1. It is a ...read more

    Consider Your Ways

     | 2,710 views

    I would like us to focus in on verse 7. We read, "Thus saith the lord of hosts; CONSIDER YOUR WAYS."

    The prophet Haggai had a message from God that he was to give unto the people of God. Notice, he wanted them to know how important this message was by introducing the message by saying, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts…” before he gave the message. In other words, he wanted them to know what he was ...read more

    It’s Time For A Spiritual Audit – Philippians 3:7-10 Series

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on Apr 2, 2022
     | 4,104 views

    What do we value? What do we strive for, day to day? And the interesting challenge here is that even when we value good things (e.g., loving our family, helping others), they don’t come close to who Jesus is.

    A couple of weeks ago I was looking at my credit card balance, and it was much higher than I expected it to be. So I knew I needed to do a little audit there myself. I checked it out and realized that some of these charges aren't even mine. So I called the credit card company and we together ...read more

    The Secret To Knowing God Series

    Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Jan 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,260 views

    What does it mean to know God? It is not intellectual knowledge about Him. Knowing God involves having a vibrant intimate personal relationship with Him. This relationship should be ongoing, ever growing, and maturing.

    1. THE FIRST SPIRITUAL SECRET - Jesus said that God is a Spirit and we must have a spiritual connection. (John 4:24) Therefore, we need the Holy Spirit to make God known to us. Only as we rely on the Holy Spirit as our teacher can we know the Lord and understand His Word. “But the Comforter, which ...read more

    Prepare For Revival Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 5, 2022
     | 4,435 views

    Revival affects our relationship to God, but also to one another. Peter talks about how as our salvation affects us it should give us a love for the unlovely. Jesus goes so far as to say, by this will all men know that you are my disciples that you love one another.

    To get a fire started you need some paper, dry kindling wood and a flame. Once you get the flame started you must take care to make sure the flame gets air. You may blow into the flame to get the fire to ignite. You also protect the small flame from too much wind that could blow it out. But once it ...read more

     | 5,989 views

    This sermon examines 1 Samuel 3:1-20, the story of Samuel and Eli, and gives lessons on, what defined them, as a dying priesthood, and a rising prophet. These lessons can be applied to our Churches, and lives today, which can result in what spiritual impact we will have on today's world.

    AWAKE OR SLEEPING 1 Samuel 3:1-20 In our text we see a transition from a Priesthood who had taken God for granted, to a rising Prophet, who would awaken a Nation. From Eli to Samuel. Eli means to ascend or "lofty". There are two ways to look at him, as a Priest he was called to ascend ...read more

    Last week we looked at our need to examine the cross and our decision to follow Jesus. Today we look at the fact that God examines us and he enables us to examine ourselves. It's time to do a cross-examination.

    CROSS-EXAMINATION (part two) Last week we looked at our need to examine the cross and our decision to follow Jesus. We needed to start with examining what crucifixion was about so we could understand how degrading and torturous and gruesome it was. When we understand the level of what Jesus went ...read more
