What are we to do when things don’t go the way we want, when the rug is pulled out from under us, when something terrible happens? How are we to react? Jamie shares what the prophet Isaiah says we are to do when the winds of adversity blow hard. We are to lengthen the cords to our tents and strengthen our stakes. Like the ancient Bedouins did, we are to make our tents flexible in the harsh environment, otherwise we just might be blown away. How do we lengthen our cords and strengthen our stakes? We lean into God, praise him and trust him. There’s a tendency in stormy circumstances to ...

Father Johnny Bingo gives a lively talk about the Seal of Marriage and the Seal of Confession

It is, perhaps, surprising, to find almost a total absence of the word “Christian” in the New Testament; there are only three references. However, the word is much used today both in the church and in secular society. One dictionary defines “Christian” as “a decent, respectable person” (Chambers Concise). However, we need to remind ourselves that the first six letters of the word spell Christ”, and that without Him and His sacrifice for our sins, the word is meaningless. In this publication the author looks at the origin and meaning of the word “Christian” and the apparent...

Jesus prophesied that in the last days there would be many false prophets who would deceive many. Apostle Peter also wrote that in the last days many false teachers would be present among the saints. False prophets and false teachers are instruments of the Devil. The devil uses them for two main reasons; one, to ensure the saint does not receive his full inheritance in Christ and two, to ensure that many go to hell by believing the lies. This book has being written to warn church leaders and saints to be cautious about false teachers and also share wisdom on what the Church must do to ...

During almost forty years of ordained ministry, and many years before, I have found myself the object of humorous situations, at least, as I viewed them, in which I am continually reminded that God has a sense of humor. I am convinced that God must have a sense of humor to have created the likes of me! Several years ago, while on a sabbatical from my parish duties, I had a unique opportunity to pause, reflect and compose these humorous true incidents. My intention at the time was to compile these stories and self-publish them to share with my family and friends. However, I put this project ...

Who needs revival? Every at one time or another will need a least some measure of reviving in their lives. Life has a way of weighing you down and draining your spiritual resources. But David said, there is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God. Revival is not a mystery or a miracle, but revival is God's answer and response to a hungry soul, who will honestly admit that they need a fresh fire and a fresh anointing.

The book of Ephesians consists of two equal parts. The first part is doctrinal with its theological gems of truth, detailing what we believe. The second part is practical, detailing how and why we practice our faith daily. One of the overarching themes of Ephesians emphasizes new life in Christ. Born-again believers are the body of Christ on earth and will be His bride in His everlasting kingdom. This experience betroths the church, preparing her to be His bride in eternity.

In this book taken from a sermon by Jamie Buckingham, Jamie states there are no prophets or prognosticators for the future. There are only weathervanes for the present. Nobody knows where the wind is blowing. Jesus said you cannot tell where it is going. Nobody knows. The best we can do is to hoist a weathervane and say, “This is the way it’s blowing today.” There are no prophets for the future. There are only weathervanes for the present. Others, on the other hand, have cranked up wind machines and are doing it their own way. I know a lot of people in ministry today who have built ...

The declaration 'It is finished' resonates profoundly in the context of Jesus' crucifixion, symbolizing the fulfillment of His divine mission. This phrase also echoes through various biblical narratives, where seemingly inexplicable events ultimately yield triumphant outcomes. In this book, we'll delve into poignant stories that exemplify the transformation of adversity into victory. Though the characters may not have uttered the exact words 'It is finished,' their experiences illustrate the same redemptive arc.

These messages were preached consecutively as part of the study in the book of Deuteronomy at Immanuel Baptist Church in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Pastor Runyan brings his conversational, "street-level" style to bear on the last of the books of Moses, Deuteronomy. The second generation after the exodus from Egypt had come to the banks of the Jordan River, able to look across into the Promised Land. They had recently accomplished two stunning victories against the imposing armies of pagan kings. Deuteronomy is the last address of Moses to the people. He won't be making the journey with them, ...

God called me to preach at the age of 11, and three years later, in 1987, I began preaching. My pastor taught me to be intentional about “sermon seeds,” writing down ideas and studying and preaching them when able. This book is a collection of un-preached messages from 1987 to the present. Through the years, my files have grown from hand-written notes to electronic notes on tablets, computers, and smartphones. These files encourage me, especially when my emotional well runs dry. Sometimes God brings something out of those folders and anoints me to preach it. Other times, the files grow ...
