Praying For Power Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Mar 3, 2006

Paul prays for power, not for specific situations but for the power to know the enormity of the love of God.

Resurrection Power 3-27-05 1 Corinthians 15:12-23 (NIV) 12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not ...read more

The Power Of Giving

Contributed by Doug Morrell on Apr 12, 2005

Whether good seed or bad, in season or out, to overcome problems, reach your destiny and potential, become fruitful, to be renewed in mind, body and spirit, we must follow God’s seedtime and harvest principle.

We excuse ourselves from the great privilege, honor and duty of seeding into the Kingdom of God when we assign to others that which is clearly our responsibility. God founded the principle of seedtime and harvest: "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold ...read more

Power Play Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 22, 2005

Jesus Christ came to earth to reveal the nature of the REAL boss the Lord God Almighty. He is pretty intimidating, so you’d think He would have a personality to match but He doesn’t. The boss of bosses does not follow the world?s leadership model

The Power Of Prayer

Contributed by Mitch Davis on Aug 8, 2006

We talk about prayer, study about it and state how we should pray. But how many of us - practically speaking - have untapped the power of prayer?

The Power of Prayer Theme: what makes prayer so powerful INTRODUCTION A. Satan knows… 1. If he can afflict the people of God… 2. Or somehow weaken their faith… 3.

The Problem With Power Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 21, 2006

When we draw close to Jesus sometimes the aura of His power makes us feel powerful on our own. Luke 9 teaches us lessons on the real source of power and the real cost of discipleship.

What’s the famous line from American Express? Not Karl Malden saying "Don’t leave home without it" but this: "membership has its privileges." It was supposed to suggest that special things await you and only you if you get this card. The slogan is successful because it appeals to something in us ...read more

Chapter 4 vv. 1-8 contrasted faith & works; vv. 9-17 contrasted law & grace; now in vv. 16-25 we see the contrast of life & death.

Romans 4:16-25 Children have a can do attitude: "I can do it my own self!"

No children, though they wanted ...read more
