    Seven Times Down

    Naaman was commanded to dip in the Jordan River seven times. He finally did and was healed of his leprosy. But beforehand, he put up quite a fight. His preconceptions about how God works, and his pride, both got in the way.

    Many years ago, I attended Shoutfest, which is a Christian music festival held in Somerset, Kentucky; and I heard a new band perform called “Seven Times Down,” which I thought was really good. The band got its name from the passage of Scripture that we’re going to look at this morning. I liked ...read more

    Peter's sifting was no match for Jesus' prayer. God's plan is for His people to always overcome every trial and every test that the devil can send against us.

    Down But Never Out Sunday a.m., January 31, 2010 By Pastor James May This has been a week that I will long remember. There are some things that come along in life that will tend to stretch, bend, twist and break your faith. For the Reed Family in particular, this has been one of those weeks. ...read more

    Men are always so busy doing things that we seldom stop to allow God to minister in our lives. This sermon encourages men to surrender themselves to Jesus so we may gain more than expected. This is a Men’s Day sermon I preached at my church.

    SIT DOWN AND BE COUNTED JOHN 6: 1 -13 The gospel according to St. John is vastly different than all of the other gospels. While the other three are called the synoptic gospels, which simply means that they give a synopsis or summary of Jesus’ life, John is after something different. John ...read more

    Quench Your Thirst With Living Water!

     | 4,894 views

    Water and thirst. Those are two powerful pictures that we find in Jesus’ interaction with a Samaritan woman at a well. May God the Holy Spirit enable us to recognize the insatiable thirst that sin gives us. And every day, let’s quench our thirst with living water.

    This reading from John 4 uses something from everyday life that is intended to give us a powerful connection to spiritual truth. It’s supposed to touch our head and our heart and impact our emotions. But I fear that it is lost on us. What am I talking about? It’s just plain water. Well, I ...read more

    A study of Jesus' teaching that He did not come to bring peace to the earth and how we need to "fire it up" instead of "watering it down."

    CAN WE WIN MORE PEOPLE BY SOFTENING THE GOSPEL? The best plan is not to “water it down” but “fire it up.” - Luke 12:49. - Fire is referred to in this verse. There is a sense in which the truth of Christ is going to bring fire to the earth. - Fire burns down what already exists. - The fire ...read more
