    Continuation of the ministries of the Holy Spirit in the functioning of the New Testament church; specifically the functions of apostles, prophets, and teachers.

    This nine-part series was originally developed for a class environment, and later adapted for use in a prison ministry conducted via correspondence. Because of that background, questions were developed for each lesson for participants to use in a setting conducive to discussion, or as handouts for ...read more

    David's Three Mighty Men defended a seemingly insigniffican bean patch etc. But King David sent them there. What is your bean patch that King Jesus sent you to defend

    DAVID'S MIGHTY MEN Luke: 18:1 And he spake a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; saying , There was in a city a judge, which feared not God neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city and she came unto him saying, Avenge me of mine ...read more

    Jesus built HIS church out of flesh and blood. He took sinful, selfish and self centered people and created a church that would last forever. But how could He make a world changing church out of such useless material? Preached at Unity Service

    OPEN: About 9 yrs ago, the Russian Orthodox Church had a 200 year old Church Building that had fallen into disuse. They wanted refurbish and begin worship services there, but when they arrived at village where the church building was … it wasn’t there anymore. It had disappeared. It seems that some ...read more

    Victory Is Where We Live

    When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

    I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more

    As kids all we wanted was our two front teeth! But as grown ups, we've reached a better understanding of the meaning of Christmas and of life. Now love, good health, happiness, forgiveness, and Jesus would be what we want.

    “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS…” Lk. 2:6-14 INTRODUCTION A. CHRISTMAS QUIZ See how well we know the facts about the first Christmas: 1. When Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem, how did they get there? a. They walked b. Joseph walked; Mary rode a donkey c. They took a chariot d. ...read more

    Christmas Story Was In Unimpressive Surroundings - Yet A Spectacular Event

    Contributed by Tim Baker on Dec 19, 2017
     | 5,299 views

    The birth of Christ was in an unimpressive city, with an unimpressive birthing room, with an unimpressive crib, with unimpressive visitors, for the most impressive event in human history. Why did Jesus start with such humble beginnings?

    Salt without prescribing how much is what king Cyrus offered the children of Israel. Knowing the salt or divine grace that God has provided us is the key to driving out coveting within our lives and is also the key to feeling unspeakable joy!

    Freedom For The Captives Series

     | 7,702 views

    Paul's whole plea to Philemon is to act the way the loving Father acted: to welcome home the beloved son; to restore him to fellowship with the family. There will be, and have been, occasions when we'll be called to respond to wrongdoers the same way.

    There's something quite different about reading this letter compared with all Paul's other letters. In all the others, even those addressed to individuals, the focus is on the Church where they're ministering. But here there's a much more personal feel to the correspondence. You can feel the warmth ...read more

    Christ has made us near, and that work is the most power factor in our lives today.

    (This sermon was preached with a pair of sunglasses sitting on the top of my head, reasons to be seen later in the sermon.) Every Church longs to see revival. I am not talking about a series of revival services. Those can bring about spiritual awakening, but seldom do. I’m talking about the ...read more

    The 12 Apostles: James Son Of Zebedee

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 5, 2015
     | 9,989 views

    James had character flaws like being brash, bragging who'd be the greatest, wanting to call down fire on people and asking to sit on a throne next to Jesus. But he became an Apostle of love and became the first apostle to be martyred.
