Sermons on That These Dead:

What Jesus Did! What Jesus Is Doing!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 3, 2019

Jesus Christ: The Resurrection And The Life

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 16, 2022

Jesus' act of raising Lazarus from the dead is one of the most thrilling and wondrous passages in Scripture. It shows His undeniable authority over the last enemy of humanity and was a public display of His power.

The ultimate state of helplessness is death. Once it overpowers you, regardless of age, status, education, health, or situation, you are in no state either to conquer its grip upon you, nor do you have any control over anything that you had considered valuable or precious, for none of it cannot ...read more

The Holy Spirit As The Bible Expositor Series

Contributed by Nnaemeka Durueke on Mar 1, 2022

Encouragement To Engage In Ministry

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 13, 2023

It would be a tragedy for believers to possess biblical knowledge and spiritual giftedness, and yet never use that knowledge and giftedness for the advancement of the Kingdom. Many churches are stagnant and dead spiritually because they focus upon the wrong things.

Encouragement to Engage in Ministry Ephesians 3: 14-19 Some of you are probably like me when it comes to technology. I am certainly not an expert in the field of computers and programming.

Body Of Moses Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 2, 2023

I Will Be Back Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 18, 2025

The idea that people could rise from the dead is beyond belief. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would NOT come back from the grave. So, why would we believe that we would?

Howard Stern (who’s not really a nice man) has a popular program on Sirius radio where he interviews politicians and movie stars and so on. About 5 years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a guest on his show and during the interview, Howard Stern asked Schwarzenegger “Tell me, governor, what happens ...read more

Forgetting What's Behind. Straining For What's Ahead.

Contributed by Quintin Marrow on Apr 3, 2001

Forsaking all past achievements and human advantages, St. Paul strains ahead to be found in Christ; this striving is by faith, and results in an imputed righteousness from God, a sharing in the sufferings of Christ, Christlikeness and participation in the resurrection of the dead.

Prayer's Missing Link Series

Contributed by Nathan Johnson on Dec 31, 2007

Jesus is no foreigner to prayer. He knows it intimately and He also knows that a heart that is unforgiving will make prayer ineffective and dead. The bondage of unforgiveness is something that will weigh us down so much that our prayers will be fruitles
