    5 of 12. Luke informed his audience of the initial steps that God took to turn His people toward Himself. God began the process of turning of His people toward Himself. But what principles does God use to begin turning people toward Himself? In Initiating the Turn, God uses...

    On this Veteran's Day celebration, we remember veterans of our military, but we are all veterans of Christ's Army

    Even though Veteran’s Day is Friday, November 11, it’s important enough to celebrate it on this Sunday before the holiday. Unlike Memorial Day when we honor those who died while serving, Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans. Originally it was called Armistice Day, ...read more

    Captivity Of A Nation Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023
     | 1,760 views

    If punishment and discipline of a nation is ineffective, God will cause a nation to enter into captivity. Look at the nation of Judah and their captivity.

    In our previous study, we ended with Jehoiakim being King of Judah and Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem. 2 Kings 24:1. 24 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.

     | 10,219 views

    Religious history shows that God periodically sends spiritual stirrings! But Charles Finney proved that God is ready to send His Spirit when the conditions for revival are right. We must seize these seasons of refreshing to bring revival to our world.

    TIMES OF REFRESHING Acts 3:19-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There are a lot of people who need revival! 2. One lady, Vickie, called a lawyer’s office. She made an appointment with their Family Law department. 3. "How can I help you, ma’am?" asks the lawyer. "Is it true," ...read more

    “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Matt 5:7 NIV) When you consider forgiving the people who have hurt you, you must always consider how much Jesus has forgiven you!

    The Aspects Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 12, 2022
     | 2,782 views

    In this text, Jesus spoke of nine different aspects of prayer that we are encouraged to embrace as we pray. His focus deals with the attitude of the heart. This is not a sample, replacement prayer we are to use instead of seeking the Lord for our needs and desires.

    The Aspects of Prayer Matthew 6: 9-13 We have come to one of the most recognized portions in all of Scripture. I think it would be safe to say, this passage is among the top three most quoted passages, along with Psalm 23 and John 3:16. Most of the time, it is referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. I ...read more

     | 2,485 views

    Matthew 24 and 25 make up The Olivet Discourse but they are two of the most misunderstood chapters in the whole bible. Neither chapter has any application to the Rapture, but they connect with The Second Coming, the Second Advent. We link Chapter 24 with Revelation 6 perfectly.
