    We hope these exciting things we are going to be reading about will take place during our life time, but if not during our life time, we know they will take place in the life of some Believers who will be living on the earth. Beloved, I am talking about the RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH! IS THE RAPTURE ...read more

    I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life Series

     | 11,789 views

    There is a way to the Father, and the way is wide open. There is a truth about God that can be known for certain. There is a life with God that lasts forever. And you can get it all through faith in Christ Jesus!

    Many cities in this land are multicultural. Over the years, people from all over the globe have found their way here. They’ve all brought with them their languages, their traditions, food and clothing—and they’ve also brought their religions. So when you drive around, you see quite a few Christian ...read more

    Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
     | 5,877 views

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

    Gideon – A Faith That Challenges Life

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Sep 19, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,261 views

    Gideon didn’t start out with strong faith, rather he started off weak, and scared, but God still used him to do great things. When we face times when life’s challenges are bigger than we are, that is when our faith in God, like with Gideon will see us through.

    Gideon – A Faith that Challenges Life Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8MelhMY_qs This morning we are continuing our study on the forefathers of our faith by looking at the highlights of several people God put into His Hall of Faith found in Hebrews Chapter 11.

    Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,371 views

    God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

    I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

    True Biblical Prosperity

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,091 views

    Prosperity is not based on what we possess but on who we are inside, or who we are spiritually. Prosperity is not determined by a lack of hard times, but by how we handle tough situations; by whether or not we maintain our joy.

    I have entitled our message this evening “True Biblical Prosperity.” If there is “true” biblical teaching on prosperity, then there must also be “false” teaching. Therefore, I am going to briefly address the false teaching that’s out there, and then point out what the Bible defines as true ...read more

    Joseph Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 20, 2022
     | 4,441 views

    Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, lived in the land of Canaan with ten half-brothers, one full brother, and at least one half-sister. He was Rachel's firstborn and Jacob's eleventh son. Of all the sons, Joseph was preferred by his father, who gave him a "long coat of many colors."

    Joseph is an important figure in the Bible's Book of Genesis. He was the first of the two sons of Jacob and Rachel (Jacob's twelfth child and eleventh son). He is the favorite son of the patriarch Jacob, and his jealous brothers sell him into slavery in Egypt, where he eventually ends up ...read more
