Prophecy Is Being Fulfilled
Contributed on Oct 19, 2023
This message looks at a prophecy given in 1965 that is being fulfilled in the Church today.
We’re going to begin tonight in First Timothy 4:1 and what I’m going to talk about has been on my heart for some time and it has to do with men and women who stand in the pulpit. When you understand how important a pastor is to a congregation, in terms of what he or she delivers to a ...read more

We're On God's Team
Contributed on Sep 18, 2023
One of the unquestioned beliefs in the Church today is that God is in control of everything that happens in our lives and on this planet. This message addresses this belief using the analogy of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as coaches of a football team.
Turn with me to Romans 12. We're going to read verses four and five. (4) For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: (5) `So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Some years ago, a well-known professional ...read more

Taking God At His Word
Contributed on Sep 2, 2023
There is only one thing we can believe without hesitation - God's Word. This message is about how the testimony of my brother at his burial reminded everyone of this truth.
In John 17:16, Jesus says of His disciples "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” It reminded me of a song we sang years ago in church. ¶ This world is not my home. I'm just passing through. My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon ...read more

The Lesson "ears To Hear" Teaches Us
Contributed on Aug 8, 2023
"He that ears to hear, let him hear.” Why did Jesus say this about the purpose of parables and what does it mean for us today?
I am going to open the message with the first part of John 16:13 from the Amplified Bible. “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” During the Last Supper, which is recorded in John chapters 13 through 17, ...read more

Revivalist-In-Training
Contributed on Jul 4, 2023
What Jesus did in the gospels should be seen in the Church today, but it's not. A revivalist is a person who restores what is unused. But it starts with recognizing where we are in our walk with Jesus.
Good evening. My name is Barry, and I am a revivalist-in-training. Now, let me explain what I mean. Webster’s dictionary gives two basic meanings for the word revival and the one that, in my view, reflects what I believe the Bible teaches is “restoration of force, validity, or effect (as to a ...read more

God Is Your Father
Contributed on Jul 25, 2018
As a child, before my brothers and sisters and I would sit down for breakfast, we would ask our father what we could do to please him so that he would let us eat breakfast. He’d tell us. If we wanted lunch money for school we would ask our father what would please him. He’d tell us. At supper time, ...read more

When A Man's World Is Right
Contributed on Jul 1, 2018
One Saturday morning a minister was busily trying to prepare his sermon under the most difficult conditions. It was a rainy day, and his young son was restless and bored, with little to do. Finally, in desperation, the minister picked up an old magazine and thumbed through it until he came to a ...read more

Jesus Road A Donkey
Contributed on Jun 25, 2018
Whenever a city was conquered in the ancient world, the type of animal the victorious king would ride as he entered a defeated town would make all the difference in the world to the people. If he was seated on a horse, the city was doomed; it was a sign that he had come in war, riding his ...read more

Faith: Taking God At His Word
Contributed on Jun 22, 2018
A little girl was walking through the hallway of her home and she came to the place where they had a cellar door, It was one of those trapdoors on hinges, and it was open. She looked down into the darkness, heard a noise down there, and said, “Who’s down there?” And her daddy said, “It’s me, ...read more
