Mark 11:20-22 "And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God." Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall h...

Jhn 9:4-5 "I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." Php 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"

We have a heavenly Father who knows all about us, even our daily needs and He is so much to us than perhaps we even comprehend. Mat 7:11 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

Often we hear Grace and Mercy in the same sentence, however there is quite a difference in the meaning of Grace and Mercy! Grace is God applying His righteousness to sinners. His Grace is in Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." His Mercy is God having compassion for us; overloooking o...

The text for these messages come from Rev. 12:11 because it teaches us how we overcome the wrong things in our lives. There is peace in His blood as we overcome by the Blood of the Lamb.

There are two gates; you must decide, the broad wide way, heading for destruction, or the narrow way, heading for eternal, blissful life. Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." Mat 7:13-14 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be wh...

Let us give no attention to the works of our enemy, but 'overcome.' Jesus' precious blood tells us how to overcome, "By the "Word, by our testimony!" While our life is important to us, it is not more important than eternal life.

In John 4 we hear the conversation with Jesus and the woman at the well. When Jesus asks her for a drink; her reply was; "Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast Thou that Living water?" And everyone no doubt knows what Jesus' response was ..? John 4:10 "Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me...

The Psalmist, often is harassed by the enemy, and therefore desires an escape. He knows that God is His strength, so resorts to "cause me to escape," and asks for the authority to God to make Him hear. Psalm 71:1-3 "In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. Be thou my strong...

Revive us again that Thy people might rejoice. These are challenging times and it is so good to know He is with us. Psalm 85:1-13 "LORD, thou hast been favorable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine...

As we wait in great expectation for the return of our Savior, God has offered us His gifts of the Spirit which are many. Whatever the future of 2025 holds it is for sure we are one day closer to Jesus' return!

Rev. Kevin Dershem brought forth the Sunday message addressing the commandment Jesus Christ stated in Luke 22:19-20: "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you."

In this New Year, consider something you might try to do every day, or not do! Let's enter into the gates of 2025 with rejoicing in our hearts, thankful in Spirit, and determined to be a stronger witness of Jesus' great love!

Advent Candles: 1st Candle-Angelic Message; 2nd Candle-Obedience; 3rd Candle-Joying; 4th Candle-Emmanuel In this holy season let the Church reflect upon spiritual things and remember the One who has brought about about a "Merry Christmas." It is a great time to show the love of Jesus, heal hearts, forgive, and offer prayers of thanksgiving, to let our light of Jesus shine bright.

The greatest event in our lives is our salvation, brought to us through a baby born of a virgin. This third week of advent expresses the joy we feel because of the gift of salvation. Luke 1:30-35 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and...

Through it all Jesus' obedience brought pain and sorrow! Jesus was obedient, Mary and Joseph were obedient , John the Baptist was obedient. The cross gave us the greatest gift ever given. "Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from t...

John 1:32-33 "And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."

Angelic activity is in full swing. This is a day of preparation. While the whole world prepares to celebrate this event, many do not give Jesus a thought. It has become a holiday for them. But the receiver of salvation it is preparation to remember the One who gave His life for ou eternal home.

To make our petitions known, such as we see here in David's prayer, he tells God "he is overwhelmed!" We are reminded in this psalm, that it is important to address God with our cares, crisis, and just because ... all the while bringing forth a "song of victory."

So the question among many is basically, do we have a burden for America? I know we are concerned, I know we see the wickedness pressing in on Christianity, but does it burden our hearts as we note here in Habakkuk? Is there a grief in our soul as we see the signs of the unrighteous prevailing, in laws being changed, more power to the wicked and less respect for God? Hab 1:5 "Behold ye among the h...

While as followers of our Saviour, we daily give thanks, there is a season of thanksgiving and it has great purpose. Just ahead as we face November there will be a season wherein the church is called to offer thanks. A Living God in this message today we find several avenues of thought as we come to the Thanksgiving season. And the beauty of His Holiness looms large upon this day of celebration.

In these messages let us grow another measure in Christ. May we desire to pursue His holiness, to meditate upon 'right standing' in Him. The Holy Ghost is our conviction, the One who continues to alert us to the areas that needs change in our lives. There is a Highway of Holiness, it is narrow according to Matt. 7:13-14 Jesus admonishes us: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, an...

Psa 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. Psa 48:1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Psa 96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Isa 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the un...

How does 'Goodness' without, that is kindness, temperance, gentleness, etc. effect us within? Then how does the evil of our day, the corruption, the anxiety, etc. effect us within? His beauty of creation has always had an effect upon me, but - also the corruption of our day has an effect upon us! I can only turn to Jesus, the Power of His Word, and the anointing of His precious Holy Spirit!

Guest Speaker Rev. Don Van Zandt blessed Commerce Community with the urgency of salvation, because today is the day of salvation.
