    The Light That Overcomes All Darkness- Introduction

    Contributed by Gary Tate on Mar 6, 2024
     | 419 views

    This I believe can help those who have or are struggling with their relationships. As a grown man now, I understand I had been living within “darkness”. I did not understand until ten years ago I was walking around being held captive by feelings of abandonment and a “orphan spirit”.

    I find that we all want to understand what we can do when facing what seems to be at times an onslaught against us mentally and Spiritually. This can be true for those who have dealt with the thought of not being loved, as I did as a young boy. In my situation then as my “birth Father” was never ...read more

    Third in a series on spiritual warfare. This message examines strongholds in our minds that keep us from being truly free.

    This is week three in our series, “Operation Enduring Freedom.” If you missed either of the first two messages, you can obtain a copy of the audio tape, or find the sermon manuscript at our home page on the internet. We are seeking out God’s word to find out how to grab hold of a lasting, ...read more

    Make The Devil Pay

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 27, 2017
     | 22,592 views

    When a person dies, especially a young person, we celebrate the life at the person's funeral. We shouldn't be celebrating a life that has been taken far too soon. Instead, God's children should make the devil pay for taking that life.

    Recently, I delivered the eulogy for my niece who was killed in a car accident in Memphis, Tennessee. Patricia, her mom asked me to do the eulogy and I said I would. So my wife flew down to Memphis that Friday and I drove down the following Monday. There was something stirring in me over that ...read more

    The Grave Robber

    There was a new robber in town! I said there was a new robber in town! The grave robber! The new robber in town had taken away the Keys, to life and death from the devil, without the devil, even having a clue as to what was happening, once and for all and forevermore!

    The Grave Robber Matthew 28 1-15 NKJ 1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone ...read more

    The stock market is in chaos, the cost of living has increased greatly. 401K s have taken a big hit and many have lost a great portion of their retirement. The future seems very insecure, and in the midst of all of this, men’s hearts are failing them for

    I have felt compelled in my spirit to share about the things going on. There is much happening in the worlds financial systems and in our own country right now.

    Wait Upon The Lord

    Life is full of highs and lows, from the mountain top to the valley; and God’s people were in a low spot. If Judah would learn to "wait on the Lord," then God would enable them to fly, run and walk across the finish line to victory!

    Wait Upon the Lord Isaiah 40:27-31 I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Wait Upon the Lord,” but I could have easily justified calling it “Fly, Run and Walk,” and you’ll see why as we continue along. But since much of the message is focused on flying, I want to open with an illustration that ...read more

    Abraham: Same Lie, Different Country Series

     | 3,352 views

    Abraham and his household moved to another area. What happened when they met this new king looks very similar to something they had tried many years before. It didn't work in this new location, either.

    Introduction: After the events of Genesis 19, Abraham left Mamre/Hebron and journeyed southwest towards the Mediterranean Sea. He entered the land of the Philistines and settled at Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur. While there, he told the same lie about Sarah; only to a different king (compare this ...read more

    If I Am A Man Of God

    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,228 views

    I suppose the term "man of God" means different things to different people. However, we have the account of an individual who was called a "man of God" and commanded to respond to a king's command. Because he was a man of God, certain characteristics marked his life.

    “After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel. “Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, ‘Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.’ But the angel of the LORD ...read more

    If you want to win in the end, don't marvel at the world's power; instead; worship God alone and wait for Him to act.

    Once upon a time there was an eccentric old king who wanted to give his throne to one of his two sons, but he didn’t know which one. So he decided to organize a horse race, in which the son who owned the slowest horse would become king. Each son was afraid that the other would cheat by ...read more

    We have a Christian responsibility to follow the legitimate commands of our leaders and we are obligated to deal honorably with our employers. What this means is that we have to set an example for others to follow.

    For most Americans Labor Day is a holiday & in the opinion of some it’s the most hypocritical holiday of all. But today, instead of considering our jobs drudgery, I want us to look at them as challenging opportunities.

    The FOG is a fraternity whose presiding officer is a man named Abraham. I am talking about the Friends of God. James 2:23 says Abraham was called the friend of God. The phrase is also found in II Chr 20:7 and Is 41:8. Why was Abraham called the friend
