How Do You See People?
by Missionary Stephen Wynn (Mar 31 2010)
Series: Guest Preacher
Stephen Wynn, on deputation to go to Brazil as a missionary, preaches from Matthew 9 on seeing people the way that Jesus saw them. How do you see people? How you see people will affect whether you witness to them or not, if you will give them a tract, and if you will judge them on the way they look or act. We must learn to see people through eyes of compassion like Jesus.
Why Is Faith So Important?
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Mar 28 2010)
As the series on Hebrews dives into the Hall of Faith, we must first remind ourselves of the importance of faith. Is there anyone who would argue that they don't need any more faith, that they have all the faith they need? We need faith to make it into God's hero list. This message gives 6 reasons from the text why faith is so vital to our Christian lives.
Just Married
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Mar 28 2010)
The most important earthly relationship we have is the bond of marriage. It's a good thing the Bible is not silent on the subject. From Song of Solomon chapter 8, Pastor Amsbaugh covers biblical principles that will remind unmarrieds to fortify themselves for the day that God brings the right person into their lives, and teaches those that are married some things that will help strengthen their marriage.
Living Like You're Dead
by Rev. Greg Powell (Mar 24 2010)
Series: I Really Want to Change
Forgiveness is just the beginning of life in Christ. Once forgiven, God wants us to continually be moving in the direction of Christlikeness. Great victory can happen in our lives when we realize that the power of sin is broken once for all. We must choose to live for God day by day, building upon the simple truth that we are dead to sin.
Who Are We Anyway?

The Chastening of the Lord
by Dr. Paul Kingsbury (Mar 23 2010)
Nobody becomes great in faith except they first endure chastening. Hebrews chapter 12 teaches us how to become a Hebrews 11 kind of person. This message, preached at our 2010 Sword of the Lord Conference, reveals the four options we have when dealing with the chastening of the Lord.
The Multiplication Principle
by Dr. Paul Kingsbury (Mar 22 2010)
The sheer numbers involved in the feeding of the 5,000 seem astounding. How could one boy's lunch feed so many? Similarly, the task of reaching the world for Christ can seem daunting. How could so few Christians tell so many about Christ? But this passage teaches the principle that when God blesses, He multiplies. We must offer our lives to God, allow Him to break us, and then use us. This message was preached by Paul Kingsbury on Monday night at our Sword Conference.
Don't Let Trouble Trouble You
by Dr. Shelton Smith (Mar 22 2010)
This popular passage was written to encourage us that even though we will go through trials in this life, we do not need to be overcome with trouble. There is a future glory that awaits us and it is important to remember that God is preparing a place for us after the trouble of this life. This message was preached by Shelton Smith on Monday night of our Sword Conference.
From Everlasting to Everlasting
by Dr. Shelton Smith (Mar 21 2010)
God is from everlasting to everlasting; He has to beginning, end, or interruption in between. What does this mean practically for us as His children? It teaches us that our lives must be ordered by Him and that anything valuable and attractive in us is because of His hand upon our lives. This message is preached by the editor of the Sword of the Lord publication, Dr. Shelton Smith.
The Filling of the Holy Spirit

Some amazing things happen after the Holy Spirit comes upon us. This message, preached by the editor of the Sword of the Lord publication, Dr. Shelton Smith, explains what the role of the Holy Spirit is and isn't concerning Christians. The Holy Spirit always makes much of Jesus and exalts Him. We get the filling of the Holy Spirit so that we can tell others about Jesus.
