    The Fire Of God

    Contributed by Jimmy Stewart on Nov 13, 2003
    based on 38 ratings
     | 14,355 views

    The Holy Ghost is the power. The fire is what cleans us up to receive the power.

    The Fire of God Matt. 3:11-12 **BEFORE READING TEXT** If I were to ask how many here want more of Father, Son, Holy Ghost, most of us would shout “amen”. And if I asked how many wanted more of the fire of God, most would again shout “amen”. Yet, (not to anyone’s discredit, etc.) if we had a full ...read more

    It Ain’t Over… Until God Says… It’s Over

    Just because things don’t work out exactly how we planned them does not mean that God is not at work in your life. DRY BONES HAVE EARS, IF ONLY YOU CAN SPEAK! MOUNAINS HAVE EARS ONLY IF YOU CAN COMMAND!

    IT AIN’T OVER… UNTIL GOD SAYS… IT’S OVER EZEK 37:1-14 By PV I am super excited and encouraged in my spirit today. Because God is so good! Not only is He good; He’s faithful! He’s merciful. He’s just. He is a loving God. He’s kind. He’s a provider. He’s a way-maker. He’s a deliverer. He’s a ...read more

    Why Did God Forsake Him? Series

    He could save no one by His life; it is His sacrificial death that saves.

    Tom Lowe 12/5/19 Why Did God Forsake Him? Why Did God Forsake Him? It took me quite a while to become comfortable with my answer to that question. It is the title of today’s sermon. And when we are done, I hope you will say along with me, “I am glad he turned his back on ...read more

    Full Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on May 29, 2018

     | 3,239 views

    When a man is full of the Holy Spirit he honours the true nature of God and lives as such. Like Stephen emulated Christ by asking for forgiveness for his killers from God at the point of death. He was able to because He was full of the Holy Ghost

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST Acts 7:54-60 King James Version (KJV) 54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw ...read more

    Trouble At A Place Of Revelation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 19, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,687 views

    The enemy of our souls tries to snatch away the words of our confessions of faith while they are still in our mouths, robbing us of our newly received blessing.

    TROUBLE AT A PLACE OF REVELATION. Matthew 16:21-28. The place was Caesarea Philippi (Matthew 16:13): a place of revelation, and a place of decision. Which of two realms will we choose? Which of two religions? Who is it that we are following? Jesus asked the disciples, ‘Whom say ye that I am?’ ...read more

    Dependence On God Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 18, 2022
     | 5,501 views

    There are contrasting ways to go about any task. There is striving, pushing and fighting verses a dependence on God. There is a human effort that leaves God out verses a quiet trust in Almighty God as provider. And which way you approach your tasks will be the difference of frustration or blessing.

    "Off The Chart” Egos Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 12, 2022
     | 2,445 views

    Isaiah prophetically recalls the fall of Lucifer while addressing God’s judgment upon Babylon. Lucifer, whose name would be changed to Satan (“the adversary”) is conceptually linked to the arrogance of the King of Babylon.

    “Off the Chart” Egos Isaiah 14:3-20 1. Today’s joke is short, but one of my funnier jokes. I think I shared it last in 2005. Here goes. There is an old story about a pastor leaving a church. At his farewell dinner, he tried to encourage one of the pillar members, “Don’t be so sad. The next pastor ...read more

    Sermon # 39 - Possible With God Alone Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 271 views

    The one thing that is a chief contender for our love and allegiance to God is the riches of this world. If we desire to inherit eternal life we must choose to know God, love Him above all else and keep money in its rightful place. What seems impossible with men is possible with God alone.

    We read in Mark 10:27, “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” (ESV) Mankind has advanced in leaps and bounds in science, technology, industrialization and medicine. However, all of these progressions have still left us ...read more

    Sermon # 6 - No Need To Fear Death Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,086 views

    Man’s greatest fear is the fear of death, and that’s what gripped everyone aboard the ship that Jonah travelled. Learn how Jesus gives us hope beyond the grave. Also we as individuals and the church we must wake up to fulfill God's purposes in our life time.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the seamen were afraid, and each man cried to his god. (AFV) As we continue this series on how the life of Jonah can be related to the church today, I believe that many of you are blessed through these meditations. The seamen on the ship were filled with dread when the ...read more

    Sermon # 16 - Hinder No One Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 11, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 667 views

    Jonah’s disobedience became a hindrance the entire crew of unbelievers aboard that ship. This is a caution to us that as believers we should walk in total obedience to God and not become a stumbling block to those outside the church.

    We read in Jonah 1:13, “Instead, the sailors tried to get the ship to shore, rowing with all their might. But the storm was becoming worse and worse, and they got nowhere.” (GNB) As we continue these studies on the life of Jonah, there are many lessons that we can learn from the same. Though Jonah ...read more

    God wants you to be able to stand up, to be accountable and able to respond when someone asks what your relationship with God really means to you and how your relationship defines who you are in and through Him!

    A farmer who wanted to sell his donkey. A potential buyer showed up and looked the animal over. He asked if he could hitch him up to the wagon and see how he worked. The farmer did so and climbed up into the wagon with the customer handing him the reins.

    Part six focuses on how we fail in our faith at times but it does not mean that we must remain failures. When we fail and/or fall down we continue to get back up.

    The whole earth maybe covered in darkness but who says you have to be wrapped in the darkness. Get up and pray, get up and study the Word, get into real fellowship with the Light and God’s sunrise glory will cover you.

    Introduction Isaiah Receives a Revelation of Darkness The book of Isaiah is a very important book in the Old Testament.
