Vintage message from March 31, 1996. “We should be longing for the relationship that we can have with Jesus. We should be longing and hungering in our hearts for that relationship, that place of serenity, that place of peace that comes when we are walking with Jesus Christ, regardless of what’s going on around us.” Dave Elkins

Vintage message from March 24, 1996. “It’s not in the command that builds the great faith or shows the display of faith, but it’s in understanding who we are in the eyes of our Master. And, in fact, we are unworthy. And, in fact, we are His servants. And, in fact, when we respond to what He’s asked us to do, done only our duty, He counts that as faith. Do you want your faith increased? Sit down and ask,…

Vintage message from March 3, 1996. “We’ve been given worldly possessions, we’ve been given worldly wealth, we’ve been given things around us that God expects for us to use for Him, not for ourselves…All the possessions we have are really owned by Another. Nothing that comes into our possession, nothing that we earn, nothing that we pay for…is truly ours. Everything that comes into our possession was given to us by God…It’s so easy for me to look at the…

Vintage message from February 25, 1996. “We have a lot of work to do. There’s a great harvest out there. There’s a lot of lost and dying people that we, like this father, need to go to. We need to meet them on the road. We need to wrap our arms around them. We need to kiss them and greet them and show them that we could care less about their uncleanness and invite them back home and celebrate with…

Vintage message from February 18, 1996. “When we become salt to someone, we become a preservative for them. We become a healing agent for them. We become flavor for them. But we can only do that if we are Jesus’ disciples. If we’re walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. If we’re allowing Jesus to work in and through us, we become salt to a nation who’s hurting and desperate and dying; who’s infected and in need of healing…

Vintage message from February 11, 1996. “It costs to be a disciple of Christ. Salvation costs nothing. Don’t mistake this with salvation. It costs nothing for you to say, ‘Jesus, come into my life.’ But when you hear Jesus telling you that He wants you to follow Him, when you decide that you want to truly give your life over and follow Jesus, and be His disciple, understand, it comes with a cost. You have to give up everything…When you…

Vintage message from December 3, 1995. “If we want a blessing, if we hear God’s Word, we must obey it. And most of obeying God’s Word is simply taking what we hear and applying it to our lives; living by it.” Dave Elkins

Vintage message from November 26, 1995. “We can hear God’s Word all day long. We can sit down and read the Word all day long. But…once we’ve heard it, once we know what we’re supposed to do because of it, then we have to do it. And then we’re blessed!…When you hear God’s Word, obey it. Then you’ll receive a blessing.” Dave Elkins

Vintage message from November 5, 1995. “I’m not to rejoice over the fact that God has used me, that God has displayed His power through me, that God will continue to display His power through me and through each one of you. That’s not what is to bring us to a place of rejoicing. Where we’re to find ourselves rejoicing is the fact that Jesus has written our names in heaven. That one day the Father will hear Jesus say,…

Vintage message from October 22, 1995. “It’s not in the great things that you do. It’s not in the things that you do in the forefront. It’s not in the great power that I have and the ability I have to do anything that will make me great in God’s kingdom. But somehow I have to learn to become weak. He said in other scriptures that we must become the servants of all; that we must put ourselves in the…

Vintage message from October 8, 1995. “The kingdom of God is simply and only this one thing: relationship with Jesus Christ.” Dave Elkins

Vintage message from October 1, 1995. “The hardest thing in life to do is to give up me. To not meet my needs first… But according to this statement in Luke… I must deny myself, get rid of the ‘me‘ and only have the ‘Him‘… My witness and statement of life is to be one that completely and totally mimics that of Christ.” Dave Elkins
