This Is War Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 13, 2009

Though we face a defeated foe, we will ensure our own defeat if we fail to respect his power. God has provided us with armour and weapons that give us victory, but we must train ourselves to use them--then, we must use them.

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

The Raging Battle Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 19, 2009

In the battle that rages about us, many are taken captive. Many more are unawasre that we are at war. However, the Bible insists that we are engaged in war with a brutal enemy. Are we ready?

EPHESIANS 6:11 THE RAGING BATTLE “Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” If you seek a religion that will make you comfortable, Christianity is not for you.

Things That Go Bump Series

Contributed by J.d. Tutell on Oct 25, 2010

The difference between miracles and magic is revealed to the seven sons of Sceva and all of Ephesus.

I’ve been asking a question, leading up to this sermon for the past few months, it’s simply this, do you believe in the supernatural. It seems like a strange question to ask of Christians after all we pray to a God we can’t see, we believe in life after death, we believe in ...read more

What Believers Aren't

Contributed by Richard A. Bradley on Mar 6, 2012

In this passage Paul is very descriptive of what believers should not be or what they should not do. The redeemed church must be something different than the lost world. How different should we be? Paul tells us in Titus 3:1-3.

WHAT BELIEVERS AREN’T Titus 3:1-3 1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, ...read more

Letting The Gospel Remain In You Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 7, 2012

How do we know if we really know God? Tonight we look at the 6th test that helps to prove if you really know God. Does the gospel remain in you? Does the gospel abide in us?
