    Jesus' name is so powerful that it breaks down every barrier of the enemy. We are to trust in His name above any other name.

    Looking at the word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit. We find that there is no other name mentioned that has power other than the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus in the mouth of all the prophets, disciples and even in the life of ordinary people brought outstanding results into their ...read more

    As Christians, we derive our authority directly from Jesus Christ, the universe's highest, sovereign power, and as such, he's charging us to reaffirm our commission to fulfill our duties and responsibilities to go out and make disciples of all nations.

    INTRO In just a bit, we’re going turn in our bibles to the Gospel according to Matthew 28, and look at VV 16–20. Specifically, we’re going to see why this portion of scripture is called “The Great Commission,” what that meant for the disciples, and what that means ...read more

    We live in an age when it has never been more important to know what we believe, and why, and who it is we follow, and how, and where.

    I think Philip must have been from Missouri - you kow, the “show me” state. He’s just as much a doubter as Thomas, if not worse! Remember how Thomas got his nickname? After the resurrection, Jesus appeared to all the disciples but Thomas, and when they told him what had happened, Thomas didn’t ...read more

    Strong Enough To Serve

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 131 views

    Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

    There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

    Zerubbabel’s mind was occupied by more pressing matters. Leaders must not only lead in the moment of crisis, but they must also lead us into the future. Before Zerubbabel can lead into the future, God must rebuild his faith and confidence.

    Sermon: God’s Promise of Turnaround Haggai 2:18-23 “Think about this eighteenth day of December, the day when the foundation of the Lord’s Temple was laid. Think carefully.

     | 2,395 views

    In another of the confrontations Jesus had with the religious leaders of His day, it is instructive to see where He went for His authority. He amazed the crowds with His responses, but we have the same basis for authority that He exercised.

    Passage: Matthew 22:23-33 Intro: Christians have been portrayed down thru the years as “Bible-thumpers”. Il) there is an “I hate Bible- Thumpers” page on Facebook. 1. in many ways, it is a compliment. 2. means that we draw our authority, our wisdom, from the ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,692 views

    Luke 14:25-33 is usually seen as Jesus’ advice to his disciples to be committed to him above all. But Jesus didn’t follow that advice and we thank God he didn’t because he went way beyond human logic and calculation to become our Savior and Lord.

    Luke 14:25-33 Thank God Jesus Didn’t Follow His Own Advise Jesus said, “Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he ...read more

    Pastor Demola speaks of the authority available to Christians when they’re washed in the blood of Jesus.

    Last week I read several verses to you from the Book of Revelation--Revelation, chapter 1, verses 5 and 6, and Revelation, chapter 5, verses 9 and 10; that because of the blood of Jesus, we have been made kings and priests unto God. I talked to you about what a king should do. A king has absolute ...read more
