    We are commanded to pray for the Master to send forth harvesters into His harvest fields while we wait for His return. The message is a call for us to fulfil His charge.

    “Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ...read more

    I preached this sermon while filling the pulpit of a church seeking a pastor. It (the sermon) discusses how the Body of Christ is responsible for the state of our nation, but from a different angle than one might expect.

    This is How We Blew It Texts: Luke 18:8; 2nd Cor. 13:5; James 2:14-26 (and others) By: Kenny McKinley (Read Texts and open with prayer and thanksgiving) As I was praying and considering what to preach here today, I considered the fact that I was going to be in a church where I didn’t know any of ...read more

    Two weeks ago I asked the question, why are we here? The answer was Jesus’ call for us to be, first, disciples, and second, to disciple others. Last week I asked you, who have you been hanging out with?

    Why Demons Attack The Soul And The Body?

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on May 5, 2017
     | 6,683 views

    How do we go to battle without becoming demon chasers? There are two extremes to avoid. Some people tend to blame every adversity on the devil, always assuming, "It's a demon!" They're impressed by the heaviness and the oppression. They know all the spiri

    Demons are known to operate in both the soul and the body. There is no Biblical evidence that I am aware of where demons are known to specifically operate within a man's spirit. Every time we see a demonic spirit at work in the life of a person, it is either through the soul (mind) or the physical ...read more

    Jesus helps troubled and doubting people. He helps us too.

    Are you a skeptical person? Do you believe everything you hear, right away? Or does it take awhile before you believe something to be true? The other day I got an email from someone who said that they were my long lost relative. They were trapped somewhere in Nigeria, and needed me to send $5000 to ...read more

    A sermon on the how the world today resembles the world during the time of Judges. i.e. where everyone did their own thing and followed false gods.

    See and submit to Jesus Christ as he is, not how we want him to be.

    Often in our lives, we are at a crossroads, trying to determine whether we will follow what we want and what we need. It might look like this. We want a double cheeseburger with fries and a milkshake, but our body needs a salad. We want to purchase the newest iPhone or a new pick-up truck, but our ...read more

    If the building up of the church were a sport, here’s where I would tell you, “its hard to put any points on the scoreboard from the sidelines,” Contrary to popular belief, “Serving the Lord” is not a spectator sport.

    We Can Make a Difference? “Yes We Can!” There’s no quicker way to find out who your friends are, then by starting a building project and asking them to be involved and help you with it. It doesn’t really matter what your building, it could be a house, a garage, or something on a smaller ...read more
