    An important look at our first act of obedience to Jesus

    The act of water baptism (being immersed in water in response to receiving salvation) is a very important first step in the Christian life.

    Why Prayer Works Series

    Jesus is our Great High Priest. Without Him in this role, prayer would be empty words and hopeless. Yet, as High Priest Jesus makes intercession for us. Our praying is powerful because our High Priest Jesus actively works through our petition. What does Jesus do?

    When I was serving as a Pastor in Indiana, we lived near a college and monastery named, “St. Mary of the Woods.” At the monastery there was a place for elderly folks for elderly folks to live from the area so often I went to there often to visit.

    Numbers Is The Name Of The Game Series

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Jun 27, 2011
     | 5,773 views

    God’s use of numbers is intriguing and to understand them is to better understand His word. This message was developed after reading Dr. Rogers & Dr. Merritt and is very helpful for study.

    Numbers is the Name of the Game Revelation 1:4, 20 * Years ago schools embraced a simple form of education which was jokingly referred to as the 3 R’s of learning; reading, ‘riting, & ‘rithmetic. Remembering this reminds me of a story which my dad tells and declares to be the truth. In rural ...read more

What do these words mean? How do we understand their purpose? And how does it affect Me? In a day in which Israel is ...read more

    Many claim we are experiencing revival today, yet so much of the church seems to be in retreat. Where is the gut-wrenching repentance of former revivals? Where is the confession of sins by entire church populations? This all happened when revival came...

    ARE WE IN REVIVAL? 33. What Does Bible Revival Look Like ? In the 600's BC, in a day when Babylon threatened to devour the once godly kingdom of Judah and the labors of the Patriarchs, the Conquerors, the Kings and Priests of many hundreds of years, Habakkuk the prophet cries out to God, "Revive ...read more

    Christmas gifts are fun to exchange during the holiday season. We often do it at work or with friends. Most often we'll exchange gifts with family around the holiday.

    God has called the church to be something more than we’ve somehow become. It’s time to understand and accept the call...again!

    How do you answer the phone? “Hello?” “This is Sam (or whatever your name is).” “Yeah?” “Hey!” (usually if you have callerID)” “Talk to me.” “Wazzup?” Choosing to ignore it. Each of us here could get the same phone call and yet have a different response. But what if God calls? How do we ...read more
