    Have you ever thought about what it would be like to see and talk to the President of the United States? This would be a great honor but could prove to be a very difficult assignment, if not impossible!’

    • You would have to first get through some of the tightest security in the U.S. • Even if you did get past them you would have to get past a professional staff that is trained to keep people like you and I from invading the White House • If you made it to the White House you would have to ...read more

    Accountability

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 2, 2014
     | 7,640 views

    Exploring the possibility of starting accountability groups in our church. What might they look like? How did John Wesley use them? Can they be used for spiritual growth or are they just "sin control" groups like AA?

    Video review of 2013 - (Photos from various church events set to the music of "Press On" by Selah) What a great review. Some events were missed but it looks like we’re a group of believers who love one another. What about our personal lives? What about our personal relationship with Jesus? ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 4,174 views

    Realize that some people grow up in families where destructive behavior goes without punishment. My own family thought it was OK to drink to a point where drunken behavior was not recognized as a problem. As a consequence there was very little anger manag

    Determining Your Own Boundaries I Thes. 2:11,12 - "For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory."

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,968 views

    When we are faced with trials and hardships, we should not lose heart but must know that the Lord is with us. With Jesus on our side we can walk by faith without any fear because the Lord is in perfect control.

    The question Jesus asked His disciples as recorded in Mark 4:40, Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Why are you frightened? Do you still have no faith?" (GNB) Let us look at the background to this verse. We read in Mark 4:1, Again Jesus began to teach beside Lake Galilee. The crowd that ...read more

     | 5,880 views

    Why are we dependent on the Spirit for renewal? He renews with His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. Only His renewal makes us sufficient for life’s challenges.

    Titus 3:5 Theme - We are continually dependent on the Spirit’s ministry of renewal. Why are some believers lacking a fresh sense of cleansing, hope, and love? Freedom from sin’s oppression requires a continual application of the Spirit’s grace. Illustration: Sometime back the Associated Press ...read more

    Meet 5 people or groups who approached Jesus in many different ways. Jesus reaction tells a lot about how we should and should not approach Jesus when we are in need, in grief, in sin, or in control.

    How do you approach Jesus?

    I have always thought that some CLAIRVOYANTS and some of those who prepare HOROSCOPES got their knowledge from demons. I have never been in doubt that WIGI BOARDS ARE DANGEROUS because they open people up to DEMONIC INFLUENCES.

     | 11,489 views

    Jesus was in complete and absolute control of the situation. He wasn’t the helpless victim of a cruel and unjust system and His life wasn’t snatched from Him either but He surrendered Himself to sinful hands.

    The arrest of Jesus John 18:11-27 Job 5:7 says, "People are born for trouble as predictably as sparks fly upward from a fire." Troubles are part of life. And there’s no end to the troubles you will probably face. Let me give you some examples. A fierce gust of ...read more

    Spiritual Warfare Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 325 views

    Satan is real, not a metaphor. But he is not an independent force for evil; he is a created being, and therefore under God's sovereign control. Here is what Peter tells us about how to defeat him.

    We live in a rationalistic age. We live at a time when a purely materialistic view of the world is the one commonly accepted, a time when talk of the supernatural is dismissed as nothing more than fables and legends, myths and superstitions; the archaic remnants of a medieval world view.

    Many of us are perplexed of the evils around us. Doesn’t God care anymore? Take heart! God has the sovereign control of every event. Every incident is always in line to what He has in mind.

    Theme: OUR SOVEREIGN GOD Daniel 1:1-7 Intro. A. Looking at the evils happening around us, we would be tempted to think that the Devil and his evil forces had won the world over God.

    Contributed by Efe Oluwatosin on Feb 15, 2025
     | 739 views

    The fruit of the Spirit, as described in the Bible, encompasses a set of virtues that reflect the character of God and are cultivated in believers through the Holy Spirit. These virtues include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

    Let's look at these virtues in-depth to determine how to cultivate them. Love is a commandment. John15:12 NKJV "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." Christians are to love people the way Jesus loves us, not necessarily as they love us. Christians ...read more
