    A Pattern For Powerful Prayer

    Contributed by James Chandler on Jun 13, 2018
     | 5,097 views

    This message walks through the "disciple's prayer" as given to them by Jesus. The message identifies several elements that will create a proper soil for a rich prayer life.

    Jesus' disciples come to him and ask him to teach them to pray. Matthew 6 records Jesus' response: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward ...read more

    Jesus spoke of a chasm between heaven and hell in His parable of Lazarus and the Rich man. Was the chasm meant as just a parable or does it really exist?

    The Grand Chasm Luke 16:19-31 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. The time ...read more

    The Man Who Went To Hell Series

    based on 84 ratings
     | 19,721 views

    Does Hell exist? And, if so, why did the Rich man end up there? What had he done that was so terrible that he deserved that type of punishment?

    POEM: An old man sat by an open fire and dreamed the years away, While, outside in the battle of life, many perished in the toils of day. He never did any good, nor did he ever do any wrong. He just sat by the open fire and dreamed the whole day long. Now he’s left a vacant chair and they say ...read more

    This message looks at the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. All of us are going to be rewarded according to our deeds with either heaven or hell. Heaven and hell are real, and this passage shows a detailed description of each place.

    This morning’s sermon is entitled “Receiving Our Reward,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.” All of us are going to be rewarded according to our deeds when this life is over. Some will enter into heaven and others will enter into hell. In his ...read more

    Pursuing Purity In An Impure World Series

    We can con our coworkers, fool our friends and family, play charades with church members, and even deceive ourselves, but we can’t masquerade before the Lord because He sees right through our masks.

    Pursuing Purity in an Impure World I remember seeing a cartoon that shows a pastor and his wife deep in conversation. The wife says, “Today let’s do something different. Why don’t you be charming at home and grouchy at church?” Ouch. That really doesn’t apply to me…because I’m often grouchy in ...read more

     | 9,453 views

    Your intellect and your five senses are hollering “No! It won’t work. I’ll make a fool of myself.” But God’s Word and His Spirit say “Yes!” We are faced daily with challenges to walk by faith, not by sight.

    •• Philip took the proverbial “long walk on a short pier”. He had been having an immensely successful revival in the city of Samaria, with many conversions and healings, signs, and wonders manifested (Acts 8:5-8). Philip immediately left all that to follow the instructions from “an angel of ...read more

    “How much more of a fool is the man that says there is a God and doesn’t act on it, rather than the man that says there is no God?” If society can get us to Laugh at sin than they can get us to accept it. This can be viewed on Itunes podcast or Video

    American Idols – 4 “Nothing in Between” Ps 14:1 1The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."

    Paul quotes Jeremiah 9:24, Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom; Let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord"

    Paul’s begins this letter to the Corinthians with a call to the holy, the sanctified in Christ Jesus (1:1–3) and expresses his thanks for the strengths they exhibit (vv. 4–9). But the apostle quickly turns to the first of a series of serious problems that keeps the church from reaching its ...read more

     | 4,864 views

    Who are the "poor in spirit"? Are they rich people with a poverty mentality? Are they poor people who are discouraged? Are they people who don’t have the strength of mind to make it in the world and Jesus wants to take them out?

    Matthew 5 - Part 2 - So all of a sudden Bankruptsy is OK? When we lived in the Ukraine for a month, we witnessed incredible poverty. The beautifully ornate Churches over there have domes which are actually covered in gold leaf, but under them are the beggars. Such a contrast. I noticed at one ...read more

    Greed with it’s power to grab hold of your soul will rob you of making wise decisions, and will turn you into a fool. Greed is costly, it’s not a cute little sin that just sits there being harmless, it’s robs, steals, kills and destroys all that you hold
