    Apostolic Days

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Aug 13, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 19,025 views

    Somebody said, I wish I could have lived in the days of the apostles. Well, we are living in apostolic days right now. Now, the question is... will we live like the apostles lived?

    Have you ever thought to yourself, I wish we were living in the days of the apostles? And then you think to yourself. You know in the days of the apostles there were miracles, and signs, and wonders. The power of the Holy Spirit was falling. People were being baptized in power. The lame were ...read more

    How To Say Goodbye

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,376 views

    I am glad that when the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesian church, he apparently had enough room to say all that he wanted to say and what he wished for the church.

    Alba 9-10-2023 HOW TO SAY GOODBYE Ephesians 6:23-24 People don't write letters as much as they used to do. We do more texting now on our phones. It is really kind of sad since a lot of good conversation between people will be lost in the netherworld, if there is such a place. Every letter ...read more

    Rebuke And The Goodness Of A Wise Friend

    Contributed by Saumiman Saud on Jun 11, 2025
     | 726 views

    Often, we assume that a good friend is someone who always supports, defends, helps, and follows our every wish. However, it is important to remember that not all kindness leads to true goodness in our lives.

    Have you ever prayed for patience and wish you hadn’t? It doesn’t have to be that way. Learn how having Patience through Christ will bring about Power, Perfection, Prosperity, Purpose and Provisions.

    WESTSIDE BAPTIST CHURCH PASTOR: TERRY VAUGHAN SERMON TITLE: IS THERE PROFIT IN PATIENCE? “For God so loved the world , that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

     | 15,479 views

    4 of 10 of the series, Supernatural Transformation. There is a wonderful intimacy that Jesus Christ shared with the Father while here on earth. It is this same intimacy that God wishes to share with us! But this intimacy begins to take place as we learn

    THE LISTENER James 1:22-24; Various Read at beginning of service: James 1:22-24 (NIV) 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after ...read more

    They Wanted Wine

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Aug 1, 2002
    based on 28 ratings
     | 13,137 views

    Many People have lost the wine anointing of the Holy Spirit, Unfortunately there is often a long time between the time we lose something and the time we begin to miss it, and then eventually wish for it back again.

    John 2:3 3And (when they wanted wine), the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. notice: Jesus was there, his disciples were there ( but still there was no wine) it is possible to be in the presence of Jesus and not be ministered to. I.e. to say ( not take him in or receive him.) ...read more

    Where Is God?

    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,644 views

    God says we need him and, even though we might not often think of it in these terms, we wish we didn’t need God. We don’t want to need God.

    A few weeks ago, I was given a list of 75 questions asked by our elementary kids about God. One of them was, “Where is God?” A few astronauts have said that there must not be a God because they’ve been out in space, and they didn’t see him there. Some say God’s in the earth, he’s in the rocks, he’s ...read more

    But Nails Hurt! Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2003
    based on 87 ratings
     | 12,712 views

    Nails were distributed to the congregation, so that they could test: if you wish to endure, you have to endure some pounding. Holes may be punched in you, too. But if you persist, ultimately you will be built up.

    If you really want to grow, it’s going to cost you. If you truly expect to be built up, there will be some pain involved. No growth ever takes place without pain. That’s a law of life. That’s not negotiable. No pain, no gain. No hurt, no growth. No rough edges, no building up. If you truly ...read more

    Jesus said, “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” (Luke 12:49). It’s time to get ignited with the fire of the Holy Spirit in our lives!

    THE FIRE OF GOD (October 2005 - Bible Fellowship Sunday am) ILLUSTRATION: Let me begin by telling you a story about a man who was going skydiving for the first time. He had taken all his lessons and it was time for his first solo jump. So he jumped out of the plane, but he panicked and couldn’t ...read more

    Can I Get A Lift?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 6, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,682 views

    August 1989: If we want to be lifted up out of our unhappiness through worship, we must bring our whole selves to the worship experience and must pray passionately even our negative wishes.

    I recently became aware that some folks shop for a church much as you would shop for a car or a home appliance. In talking with some people about joining our church, they said that they were shopping – that’s their word, not mine -- that they were shopping for a church by systematically attending ...read more

    How To Have Power With God

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 18, 2016
     | 10,242 views

    Of Jacob it was said, "As a Prince you have power with God." Why? Because he wrestled in prayer and prevailed. Do we wish to have "power with God?" Here's your chance to find out how.

    HOW TO HAVE POWER WITH GOD Gen. 32:22-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. JOKE. Two convicts were working on a chain gang. "I heard the warden's daughter up and married a guy down on cellblock D," the first con says to the other. "The warden's mighty upset about it too." "Why?" asks the second prisoner. ...read more

    Part 12 - Matthew 10:11-15 - They Can Go To Hell? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 15, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,805 views

    I have heard the terms "GO TO HELL" and "SEE YOU IN HELL" used all too casually over the years. Hell, as described in the Bible, is not something you would wish on even your worst enemies.

    Part 12 - Matthew 10:11-15 - THEY CAN GO TO HELL? I was speaking to someone about New Zealand a couple of days ago and how when we went there we had explored the colourful natural volcanic areas of Rotorua - bubbling mud, steaming ground and geysers, huge volcanic craters and weird and wonderful ...read more

    This is a MODEL prayer. Nowhere does the Bible infer that we are to pray a fixed or predetermined prayer. Prayer must be a matter of the heart and thus what I wish to pray may not correspond to your needs and vice versa

    Joseph: Rejected But Respected Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 11, 2022
     | 4,042 views

    The life of Joseph, son of Jacob, is one of the most interesting in the Bible. This message is mostly a summary of his life, from slave to sovereign to sustainer. Don't we all wish there were more Josephs!

    Introduction: What comes to mind when you think about Joseph, son of Jacob? Many of us, including me, tend to think first of his “coat of many colors” and his dreams. That’s true, but that’s only part of the story. In fact, Joseph spent several years away from his family in a foreign land, rising ...read more

    Be A Visionary

     | 3,099 views

    The one point that I wish to spotlight is the fact that Caleb was a visionary with a long term vision in mind. For forty five long years Caleb waited for the promise to be fulfilled because his faith on God and His word.

    We will turn our attention to Numbers 14:24, “But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.” (ESV) The focus of this message is based on the above mentioned verse. There are ...read more
