An undeclared war is being waged in many of our homes and our marriages are suffering because of it. It can become easy to see our spouse as our enemy. But the real enemy is found elsewhere - it's found within. Why do we find it so easy to treat those

“the Call To Fervent Prayer!” Series

Contributed by Gerry Cheney on Dec 29, 2015

Based on the movie "War Room"... we look at the importance of first evaluating our own prayer lives. Are we hot or cold? Before we start praying that God works on another person, we start by asking God to change us. This is where our prayer lives begin.

The Social Outcast Who Saved Society Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 3, 2021

Today’s sermon is about snobby brothers, a son rejected by his family and community but ironically asked to lead those who rejected him, a nation on the brink of war, fake news, and a foolish father who messes up his daughter’s life. Here is how it happened.

The Social Outcast Who Saved Society (Judges 10¬:6-11:40) 1. One definition of the word irony is, “a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.” • It is ironic, for example, that the most shop-lifted book is the ...read more

The Feast Of Freedom Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 24, 2015

150 years Memorial Day was initiated after the Civil War. But Americans have difficulty remembering when this special day began and why its important to our nation. But 3400 years ago, God initiated His own "Memorial Day". Do you know when & why it began?

I’ve read that Memorial Day was originally begun by former slaves on May, 1, 1865. The ceremony was held in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. The former slaves dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give ...read more

Warning Of The False Teachers Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 21, 2024

There have been these lying false prophets around through the ages. This would be like in a critical war the soldiers can’t just fight the enemy who wear a different uniform, but within their ranks wearing their same uniform are those who would work to see the enemy win to make a profit.

Peter is writing to the scattered Christians. In his first letter Peter mentions who he is writing to, the scattered Christians of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia. Peter is writing from a Roman prison and the Lord has told him his execution is near. He writes this last letter to ...read more

On A Nation Such As This

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 23, 2012

The sin of a nation reflects the spiritual temperature of the pulpit, inviting God’s judgement.

“Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD, and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this? “An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what ...read more

The Graceful Lips: Guard Your Heart Series

Contributed by Isaiah Banjo on Nov 30, 2020

So many people utter unguarded words which lands them into trouble. The mouth is so powerful that it can start war among nations and countries. Blasphemies, heresies, wrong preaching, even wrong construction of tenses, may pull a man down and even his entire family or countries to the ground.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore, God hath blessed thee forever.

Fear God?

Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 5, 2021

As is often the case with military veterans who have endured actual combat, conversations eventually circle around to war stories and then on to; “Were you scared?” Those who saw actual combat often reply, “Only the foolish are not afraid.” Fear can be friend or foe! Fear is our warning system.

3 Kings Who Searched For The Presence

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 30, 2024

3 kings were going to war, but found themselves dying of thirst without water. They sought God’s Presence & God told them to do a crazy thing – to dig ditches in the desert. IF they dug them, He would fill them with water. The more they dug, the more they would get.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this ...read more
