    Pray For All Those In Need Of Salvation

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on Feb 11, 2019
     | 1,980 views

    There are people who know God but are still under the law. They need to be released from this bondage. Those who have not yet encountered Jesus also need to encounter Him to get salvation. We need to pray for all these people on a constant and continuous basis.

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: *PRAY FOR ALL THOSE IN NEED OF SALVATION* Romans 10:1-5 King James Version (KJV) 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but ...read more

    One Way We Accidentally Trip Up New Believers Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 14, 2018
     | 2,862 views

    The Christian life is challenging and one way we trip up new believers is by giving them false expectations about what the journey will be like. This passage details the difficulties Paul encountered and serves as a good summary of the struggles any believer may encounter.

    HOW WOULD THEIR MINISTRY BE DISCREDITED? If their children in the faith didn’t continue the race. - 2 Corinthians 6:3b – “. . . so that our ministry will not be discredited.” - Paul talks elsewhere about his children in the faith being his joy. And certainly they were. Here we see another truth ...read more

    Moses And His Presence Series

    We are scouring the pages of the Bible for a series of encounters between ordinary people and God. These encounters are called visitations and they are almost always following a crisis of some kind. There’s a crisis, an extraordinary time when people seek God, and there’s a visitation.

    The Aim of This Series Today, we begin a series designed to show you what happens when God shows up. I am really excited about this series and I have been looking forward to this for quite some time. Over the course of this fall sermon series, we are scouring the pages of the Bible for a series of ...read more

    In this strange wrestling match between Jacob and God, friends struggle with one another and the weaker overcomes the stronger. Find out how God used this wrestling match to help Jacob mature in his faith.

    Although I don’t watch pro-wrestling (my parents didn’t allow it lest I practice “piledrivers” on my little sister), I do get a kick out of the wrestlers’ names. There’s Junkyard Dog, Johnny Nitro, The Boogeyman, and The Big Show just to name a few. On our final episode of “Jake TV,” we’ll witness ...read more

    Church is a foreign, strange enviroment to seekers. How can we develop into a place of welcome as the church? What habits can we adopt that will make us the place of welcome that God wants us to be?

    I owe thanks to Pastor wes Richard for the basic outline of this sermon. As well, Steven Covey, who was Wes’ inspiration, served as a starting point for me as well. ______________________________________ Sermon for CATM January 9, 2005 - The Welcoming Church - Romans 15:1-7 A few days ...read more

    We have some strange ideas about THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS. We hear Happy Holidays, Which could mean anything. Today I want to look at the Christmas story and see THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.

    The Meaning of Christmas Lu 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

     | 21,266 views

    The message of the cross of Jesus is still a strange message to those who have never experienced its life changing power. To them it is "foolishness". To the lost the idea of trusting a suffering, bleeding man for salvation is foolishness.

    THE WAY OF THE CROSS Study Text: 1 Corinthians 1:17-18 Introduction: - When he wrote to the church in Corinth, Paul reminded them that he had been called for one purpose and that purpose was to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That message was to be his focus and that message was to be ...read more

    Ah wisdom, who can have it? Who can live wisely in such a strange corner of the universe? Who can live on this place they call Earth? More so, who can live rightly?

    Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

    Discipleship is not a casual affair. In a series of three encounters, Jesus shows the high priority he places on discipleship.

    “Let’s cut to the chase. After nearly two decades of studying Christian churches in America, I’m convinced that the typical church as we know it today has a rapidly expiring shelf life.” This dire assessment of the state of the church begins George Barna’s 1998 book, The Second Coming of The ...read more
