    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 24, 2021
     | 4,181 views

    Are we clinging to our faith in Jesus and His word as firmly and as stubbornly as the Christians in Pergamum did or are we guilty of trying to live a compromised life with one foot in the world and one foot in the church?

    There was once a king who ruled over a vast city. He was feared for his might and loved for his wisdom. Now, in the heart of the city was a well whose waters were pure and crystalline from which all the inhabitants drank … except the king. He lived in a castle on top of a hill overlooking the ...read more

    Conquering Our Mountains

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,697 views

    In a spiritual sense, a mountain can represent any obstacle that stands in the way of victory. This message looks at how to overcome the obstacles and trials that are trying to pull us down into the valley of hardship and defeat below.

    In the Christian walk we often refer to “entering the valley” and “having mountaintop experiences.” The valleys are the low points in our life, and those times in which we experience hardship and trials. King David said in Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ...read more

     | 1,764 views

    One of the most trying and penetrating moments of our lives come, when we are forced to face the reality that someone we have loved so closely and so dearly is no longer with us in this world.

    Even for many of us, that have been saved... born again...and filled with the Scriptures from God's Word, there can come those moments in life, when it becomes difficult for us... to "Understand God". It's hard for us to understand - what God is doing!... It's hard for us to ...read more

     | 2,112 views

    When people are trying to drive you apart, how do you stay together? When there are major differences between us, how do we stay united? Does it even matter?

    INTRODUCTION Which way should the toilet paper goes on the holder? Should the toilet seat stay up or down? How do you squeeze the toothpaste tub?

     | 2,295 views

    As disciples of Jesus, we can try to live holy lives relying on our own strength, or we can allow the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us to change and transform us.

    Transforming Power "Let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature ...read more

     | 1,995 views

    Pastor Jonathan shares a few thoughts about the Asbury Revival. There are many opponents of revival today. Let's embrace what God is doing and not worry about trying to figure it out.

    A Glimpse Of Glory – The Transfiguration Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 28, 2023
     | 2,827 views

    The transfiguration fits with the theme of what Jesus was trying to get over to his disciples, that he must die and they must be prepared. Jesus took three disciples and led them up the high mountain.

    Have you ever had what you would describe as a mountaintop spiritual experience? A time when you felt so close to God you just caught a glimpse of glory. If so, it may have been a very emotional experience. Our faith is not based on emotional experience, yet at the same time, when those times do ...read more

    The Myth Of Balance And The Call Of Christ

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Oct 28, 2025
     | 135 views

    True peace is not found in trying to balance life’s demands, but in surrendering every part of our lives to Christ, who brings divine order when we seek first His Kingdom.

    Beloved, if you scroll through social media or browse the self-help section in any bookstore today, you’ll see this repeated message: “Find balance.” “Work-life harmony.” “Don’t let one thing take over the other.” We are told that a balanced life is the key to peace and happiness. And yet, have ...read more

    "god Told Me!" Really?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 24, 2022
     | 2,042 views

    God's Word, the Bible, is a perfect revelation of the mind and the will of God. We sin against Him when we attempt to usurp His place by trying to put words in His mouth.

    “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.” If you have been a follower of Christ for more than a few months, you have almost assuredly heard some dear soul assert, “God told me…” This assertion was possibly ...read more

    Until Joseph understood what was going on, he was trying to figure out a way to get out of the commitment. The Bible says that he did not want to expose her and publicly disgrace her.
