The Gospel: Spirit Led Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 23, 2015

We have two natures and they are diametrically opposed. The sinful nature verses the spiritual nature. Each nature desires what is contrary to the other. All Christians have this internal conflict. But living by the Spirit brings victory.

It can be a shocking discovery. It takes place in the slums of our big cities. It takes place in upscale suburban subdivisions. And it is taking place right now inside of your mouth. Maybe you have seen the mouthwash commercials that show the inside of a mouth magnified by one thousand ...read more

Faith In Healing

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 1, 2023

Everything in Mark chapter 5 concerns itself with healing and restoration: from the healing and restoring of a demon possessed man to the resurrection of a little girl. In-between these two healings are that of the woman with the twelve-year issue of blood.

Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may ...read more
