    Living Victoriously

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 9, 2022
     | 2,630 views

    How do we know what suffering is coming our way? We don't. But as we will see in John's writing and in Jesus's words, Jesus has already secured victory for us, no matter what we face. How privileged we are to have a Savior who has won the war for us.

    2 weeks ago as I sat in the office of my lawyer, he showed me a photocopy of a handwritten letter from Abraham Lincoln that was written to my lawyer’s great-great uncle. The uncle happened to be the president of the University of Pennsylvania at that time. He was involved in writing a pamphlet on ...read more

    Which Army Are You In? - Veterans Day 2020

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 7, 2020
     | 4,214 views

    We are thankful for all those who sacrificially served our nation in the armed forces. But, what about those who are engaged in spiritual battles today? That would be everyone. Everyone is in one spiritual Army or the other. Which one are you in?

    Which Army Are You In? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His Law he ...read more

    Is God In Control - Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Dec 27, 2023
     | 1,959 views

    When it comes to the belief that God is in control of the things that happen, many in the Church believe that He either consents to what happens, or He allows what happens. This is a two-part Bible study on the subject.

    NOTE: New Light Faith Ministries and Barry Johnson Ministries, founded by brothers Rodney V. Johnson and Barry O. Johnson, respectively, are partnering to offer Bible studies for Christians who are seeking to grow in their relationship with Jesus. This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The ...read more

    The Beacons Of Revival Are Spreading: The Battle At Osgiliath & The Beacons Of Gondor

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 19, 2023
     | 844 views

    The enemy seems to freely roam through our country, the enemy's forces, the principalities, the powers, the demons, the unsaved humans who do their bidding seem to have free reign in the United States, but they're never safe

    I'm always trying to understand our position in history. And it seems to me right now, our position in history is a moment that I remember from the Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King. The orcs are storming Osgiliath, they've crossed the river in the dark of night. And Faramir and ...read more

    The False Accusation

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 25, 2018
     | 8,044 views

    Maybe you have been the victim of a slander or gossip? Maybe people see you as obsessed with the things of God. Are you a Jesus nut? Good, you are in good company. STOP Lies and gossip directed at those doing God's work with LOVE.

    The False Accusation Mark 3:20-35 When Jesus set out in His ministry with His 12 Disciples there was a tremendous response to His message but an even greater response to the miracles that were being done in the name of God. Jesus and His 12 Disciples were so busy attending to the needs of the ...read more

    A Vision Of World Peace Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,474 views

    Isaiah has a vision of peace. This vision came from God. What Isaiah gives us here is totally different from "visualizing peace". We need to see what Isaiah saw. The vision of peace the prophet saw and foretold.

    The subject of peace has universal interest. There are international conferences in process working toward world peace. Why is there such an interest in world peace? It is because of the atrocity of war and the devastation it brings. You may have seen the bumper sticker, “Visualize World Peace.” ...read more

     | 6,485 views

    If there isn't a Day of Judgment, then God could not claim to be a righteous God. But God will come and judge us in righteous judgment. What can that mean to us?

    I’m going to give you a test this morning.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,922 views

    Around the world are demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and Hamas, and bitterness against Israel, even hate. This article looks at that, plus the inroads of socialism and the origin of Allah, and the Islamic mind. Also a small look at how we got into this situation.

    YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW – ISRAEL AND HAMAS – AND THE WIDER NATIONS [1]. SHAMEFUL GODLESS DEMONSTRATIONS This message will be a bit political but we have to thread through, and tread carefully that we don’t miss the Christian implications of these events.

    A Blameless Conversation Series

    Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Aug 14, 2011
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,451 views

    There is an utter necessity for Christians to live a pure and blameless life before a world that wants to demean the name of Jesus. We need Jesus, we need to proclaim Jesus, and we need to represent Jesus!

    Application Points: - We need Jesus - We need to proclaim Jesus - We need to represent Jesus Text: 1 Peter 2:11-12 1 Peter 2:11-12 11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 12 Having your conversation honest among the ...read more

    What’s Wrong With Christianity - Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 17, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,859 views

    This series looks at some of the things that Christianity teaches that many Christians are not in agreement with.

    Today is Part 2 of What’s Wrong With Christianity. As I said in Part 1, these messages are not asking what’s wrong with Christianity. Instead, they are describing what’s wrong with Christianity from the viewpoint of the Body of Christ. I’m going to repeat something that I said in the first ...read more

    Easter Sermon

     | 6,640 views

    A sermon I had intended to give on Easter Sunday 2020 but was prevented by stay-at-home order from the Governor because of the COVID19 pandemic. It addresses Jesus' resurrection in connection with the "first resurrection" of Revelation 20 and the universal resurrection.

    Note: I have developed a set of PowerPoint slides for use with this sermon. If you are interested in the slides I will send them to you by Email.

    When Jesus comes again, it will be in power, and righteousness and judgment. But what does His 2nd coming mean to us, and what part (if any) do we play in it?

    OPEN: Several years ago Johnny Carson had Billy Graham as a guest on his show. At one point there was a lull in the conversation and Johnny said, "You know what Billy, I bet if Jesus ever came back to earth, I bet we’d do him in again!" Billy Graham leaned forward in his seat, and said, "In the ...read more
