     | 3,014 views

    This is the time for us to take stock of the decisions that we are making every day. Those that can be changed that are not in line with God’s will, need to be set aside immediately.

    Psalm 91 - Specially Protected We read in Psalm 91:11-12, “He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.” (ERV) Those who trust in the Lord are guaranteed an extraordinary protection over their lives. The Lord ...read more

    The Power Of The Tongue

    Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 10, 2021
     | 5,273 views

    There have never been words spoken more powerfully than in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth.

    The spoken word can be extremely powerful. When humans speak, it can literally mean life or death. If I mention a few words of famous speeches, most senior Americans can readily recall the heart of the message. As time regressive examples: “I have a dream,” by Martin Luther King, 1963. Next, “Ask ...read more

    A Day’s Wages Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

     | 7,823 views

    Gathering lost souls for the kingdom is considered labor. When Jesus returns, the payment that laborers (believers) receive is eternal life, and that exact same wage goes to all who have been hired, or rather called, by the Lord.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Day’s Wages,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.” This parable speaks of the reward or payment for one’s labor in the kingdom. There is a story among Aesop’s Fables that addresses the reward for one’s ...read more

    Most of us have gone to the supermarket and bought apples but few of us have ever thought about what goes on behind the scenes in bringing the apples to market. Today while many apple growers still hand-sort their produce, many companies are going “hi tech.” Hundreds of pounds of apples are ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,397 views

    If we harbor hatred or bitterness in our hearts, it leads to disharmony, dissension, bickering and slander amongst brothers. God’s word teaches us how to root out bitterness and be reconciled to one another so there is perfect peace and harmony amongst us.

    Esau reconciled with Jacob We read in Genesis 33:4, “When Esau saw Jacob, he ran to meet him. He put his arms around Jacob, hugged his neck, and kissed him. Then they both cried.” (ERV) The above mentioned verse portrays what transpired between Esau and Jacob who were twin brothers, when they met ...read more

    Let us head Apostle Paul’s teaching and live in peace with one another by admonishing the sinful, encouraging the timid, helping the weak, and being patient with those who occasionally miss the mark of Christ’s holiness!

    The key element to revival has always and will always be prayer.

    The Prophetic Pulse Series

     | 1,238 views

    In Acts 2, Peter quotes the prophet Joel, declaring that in the last days, God would pour out His Spirit, and a prophetic movement would arise—a movement where men and women, young and old, would hear God’s heart and declare His message.

    We are living in a generation that is hungry for truth, desperate for hope, and longing for a sense of purpose. Many are searching for something real, something that transcends the chaos and confusion of our times. And while the world’s voice is often the loudest, there is another voice—a voice ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 344 views

    Dealing with fellow Christians who have fallen into sin is difficult. In this message we look at the aspects Paul gives us for restoration of a fallen brother. What is a spiritual man who draws alongside to help here, and why are some so judgemental? Falling into sin, caught out and overtaken.

    21. THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:1 - MESSAGE 21 – THE RESPONSIBILITY IN YOUR HIGH CALLING: A FALLEN CHRISTIAN We begin the last chapter of Galatians and there is much in it. Remember Paul wrote to the churches of Galatia to combat the error of the Judaisers that were turning the Christians ...read more

    Unless The Lord builds the family, the laborer’s work in vain (Psalm 127:1). It is time for us to point our guns back at Satan and ask God to restore our families..

    Why on earth would God have Hosea marry a prostitute? Was it merely a parable or a dream we're being told about? Or was this a real life harlot who God used for a lesson for Israel?

    In 1990, there was a romantic comedy that hit big screen called “Pretty Woman”. It was marketed as a modern update of the story of Cinderella.

    An examination of the importance of and manner in which we are to wait on God in our lives.

    The saying goes: “Timing is everything.” That is so true. You see this to be obvious in the trauma operating room. The surgeon knows that to operate too quickly - before the patient’s vital signs are stabilized - will probably kill them on the table. But, he knows that to wait too long will ...read more
