    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 1, 2022
     | 3,064 views

    Sometimes Ahab repented partially of his evil, only to let evil take a different direction. Evil comes back to bite you.

    Evil Ahab (1 Kings 16:29 - 22:40; 2 Chronicles 18) 1. Some people have no idea what they are saying. I was admiring my aunt’s necklace when she surprised me by announcing, “I’m leaving it to you in my will. ”I was overjoyed, perhaps too much. “Oh!” I shouted. “I’m looking forward to that!” —Mona ...read more

    Christians are not appointed to take new ground from the enemy. Rather, we are appointed to occupy ground which the Master has already won.

    EPHESIANS 6:11, 13, 14 YOUR MISSION – STAND “Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. “Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

    I heard a Pastor once say "It don’t take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep." It shouldn’t take someone long to comprehend the message to Jeremiah from God as he went down to the Potter’s house either. Let see it together!

    Introduction Jeremiah, The weeping prophet. What a man. What a message. What a MESS! The nation was in ruins. God wanted it turned around. Jeremiah was his man. More than once God encouraged Jeremiah with Heavenly truths from Earthly lessons. The message was simple and God reveals His truth to ...read more

    Calling of Elisha By Elijah - 1 Kings 19:20 It takes a genuine man of God to recognize another genuine man of God. It takes a real man of God to conquer a man of God. How to spot your successor in the ministry? How to know how to choose your leaders, a

    A few years ago, I did a series on the resurrections before the resurrection of Jesus. But did you know there were resurrections that took place after Jesus'? Let's take a look at these incidents and see what we can take away from them.

    THE RESURRECTIONS AFTER THE RESURRECTION A few years ago, I did a series on the resurrections before the resurrection of Jesus. I went back into the OT with Elijah and the widow's son and Elisha and the Shunammite woman's son, all the way up to Lazarus. But did you know there were ...read more

    Jesus is "all in" for us. He was "all in" giving every last drop of blood for us. Jesus calls to be "all in" for him: holding nothing back. The resurrection gives us the hope that there is more "life" for those who are "all in" for Jesus.

    Contributed by Pastor Dre on Jun 18, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,282 views

    Here is a short sermon that encourages us as a Christian to have a place Gethsemane, a time where we spend time with God to get the strength to do His Will. Jesus spent time in Gethsemane to get a hold of the Father, how much more should we.

    Matthew 26:36-39 36 - Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 - He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 - Then he said to them, “My soul is ...read more

    It hurts when we realize our own failures; but when other people point them out it can be debilitating. This message looks at how Satan tries to hinder God’s people by holding their past over them, and how Paul was able to overcome.

    Have you ever been led to step out in faith and tackle a mission that God placed on your heart? Maybe the Lord asked you to witness to a friend or coworker. Perhaps He asked you to tell a relative about the love of Jesus, or maybe He asked you to surrender to the call to preach or become a ...read more

    There’s never a right time to do the wrong thing. Holding on to bitterness is one of those many wrongs thing we do. Most never admitt it’s devastation until it’s too late. Let’s examine this together!
