The Little Church That Could! Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 15, 2014

The Hope Of Glory Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jan 9, 2012

For many Christianity is just not working for them. That may be the reason so many Christians have so little real impact on others, on their world. They live without a clear purpose. God designed and created you for a purpose; His purpose.

COLOSSIANS 1: 24-29 THE HOPE OF GLORY [2 Corinthians 11:23-29] By the Cross of Christ Christians have been made acceptable to God.

More Power

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Oct 13, 2006

It is the heart cry of the need and desire for more power in the believer’s life. Without God’s power the church will have little if any impact on others. Why is it that some people don’t experience more power in their lives?

More Power Mark 9:14-29 Introduction: Many get caught up in the desire for more money, more power, more influence, more prestige. Many who follow this pursuit profess to be dedicated Christians. What they fail to realize is that what they need and should desire most is more of the power of God in ...read more

The Power Of The Resurrection Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 31, 2009

In this message the fcous is on how the resurrection changed everything. One man recently told me that his church does not make a "big deal" of the cross. The cross and the resurrection are CENTRAL to our faith. Without them we have nothing.

“The Power of the Resurrection” Acts 3:11-26 A crowd has now gathered to see a man who has just been healed. Imagine that for years and years they have watched as this man’s family and friends have carried him everyday to the Temple gate to beg for money. That was his job....that was his ...read more

Committed To Serve Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 1, 2019

Knowing the disciples would face a difficult and discouraging task at times, Jesus sought to encourage them by reminding them of their standing with God. We too can draw strength from the Lord and need reminded of that which is available to the believer.

Committed to Serve Matthew 10: 29-33 Jesus had shared much with the disciples prior to sending them out in pairs of two for ministry. He had been very straightforward with them, revealing the difficulties and opposition they would encounter as the proclaimed the Good News. Some would happily ...read more

I Love My Church--Community

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Nov 26, 2015

The Arrest Of Jesus

Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 24, 2018

Last weekend we focused on the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and learned that it was a place of support, sorrow, solitude, struggle, submission, and finally, strength. Today we have front-row seats to the arrest and most infamous trial in history.

The Devices Of Satan

We are not immune from Satan’s attacks, either within or without. Satan is a master at his evil craft. To know the things we need to beware of will strengthen our position in the battle.

"If The Church Would Just Pray"

Contributed by Bishop William Bryant Wilmore, Jr. on Aug 16, 2003

When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more

The Sacredness Of Submission

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Sep 8, 2003
