    Many Christians level off at some point in their walk with God. I believe we must always be striving to be more like our Lord. Therefore, we must move up! The scripture calls it going from "glory to glory" I call it mving up from "level to level."

Pastor Jamie Wright * Maranatha Fellowship Church * 07-20-03 2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Numbers 13:30 “And Caleb ...read more

    There are people today who just like to remain young or just like to be babies, and just do not want to grow up; they just like to eat, play and sleep and have nothing to worry about, but it is time to grow up.

    Many of us are too quick to throw in he towel and give up on God; when we do that we are doing exactly what the devil wants us to do. We are to persevere and trust God to do the impossible.

    This morning I want to talk a little about the rewards of never giving up on God. Today’s gospel story is about a persistent woman and a disinterested God. It is also about a mother who would not take “no” as an answer. The woman was a Canaanite which meant she was a gentile. She ...read more

    We must have a vertical (worship toward God) and a horizontal (edification of the church) philosophy of worship.

    Have you ever wondered “Why do we gather together on Sunday mornings? What is the purpose of carving out of our busy week 2 – 3 hours to come to a place to be with other people to sing songs and to listen to a guy speak?” What is the purpose of congregational worship? I mean, you could be home ...read more

    How to discover make-believers in the church, and make-believing attitudes in ourselves.

    Nobody likes weeds. Weeds are the bane of our existence. We do nothing, and weeds come up. We spray like crazy, and weeds come back. There’s one weed in particular that I dislike more than any other. I don’t know what they are called – but I have my own name for them: “Explode-a-weeds.” I’m sure ...read more

    Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022
     | 1,547 views

    When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

    The agony of the crucifixion and the final hours of Jesus are recorded in all four gospels, each written with their own unique perspective of what happened that dark day (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19). Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more
