Templegate: Jesus Cleanses The Temple - Easter 2024

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 1, 2024

The Bible says that many were willing to believe in Him because of His signs, or His miracles. Still, Jesus can see through such false “belief.” If belief were a pool of water, then their belief would have been a puddle.

Part 4: Waiting Without Becoming Bitter Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 29, 2026

Delay does not damage destiny, but bitterness does. You can survive years of waiting and still step into your calling with a poisoned soul. David’s secret weapon was his ability to lament honestly without abandoning trust.

The Enemy You Can't See You know what's interesting about David's story? He survives the cave. He passes the test of honor. He refuses to kill Saul when he has the chance. Twice. He does everything right externally. But there's another enemy. An enemy that doesn't announce ...read more

Count It As Joy

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 8, 2024

When faced with the ungodly things of this world, the Bible tells us to "count it all joy." This message looks at how we can do that.

Count it all Joy Good evening to the Lord’s beloved. Would you please open to Hebrews 12? I “joined” church when I was 10 years old. Back then it meant the same thing as accepting Jesus.

How To Return To God Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Apr 4, 2003
