Ash Wednesday?
Contributed by Don Schultz on Feb 24, 2003
Where did Ash Wednesday come from? And what does Lent have to do with me?
ISAIAH 59:12-20 ASH WEDNESDAY? What exactly is “Ash Wednesday”? Where does it come from? It’s not in the Bible, obviously. But some of its ideas are.

At The Cross - The Cross & Forgiveness Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 15, 2002
The Cross of Jesus tells us things we need to know, but we’re not sure we want to hear.
Several years ago, I was driving through downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was a 4 lane, one way street that I had traveled several times before. I was going the speed limit (maybe a little faster) when I saw the light up ahead turn yellow. I thought to myself, "I can make that light if I just speed ...read more

Just As If I Had Never Sinned
Contributed by David Lansdown on Jul 8, 2002

How Are You Connected?
Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 23, 2025
True connection to Christ is measured not just by association, but by fruitfulness, dependence, and daily relationship.
OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “I AM THE TRUE VINE” INTRODUCTION: WHAT KIND OF CONNECTION? We live in a world full of connections—Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, social networks. But just because something’s connected doesn’t mean it’s working, thriving, or fruitful. Jesus doesn’t just ask if we’re ...read more

Nutgrass Of The Soul
Contributed by Cynthia Hinson on Jul 6, 2002
Tough, arrogant and persistent, sin (like nutgrass) will (in Malachi’s words) be burnt to stubble to make way for the Kingdom. Don’t be childish -- our faith is not a game. The prophets have warned us -- and now, someone greater than a prophet is here.
Nutgrass of the Soul Matthew 11:2-30 Rev. Cynthia T. Hinson – St. Paul United Methodist Church – Conroe, TX – July 7, 2002 The very last book of the Old Testament is Malachi, and the last verses of the last chapter of that book read thus: 1 "For behold, the day comes, burning like an oven, when ...read more

Christian Identity Theft
Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 18, 2026
Multitudes of Christians are living in the flesh, not comprehending who they are. They go through life like zombies – half alive and half dead because Satan has stolen their identities as Sons & Daughters of God. Regain your identity in Christ!
CHRISTIAN IDENTITY THEFT Rom. 12:2; John 15:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An 8-year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister were riding in the back seat of the car. Their mother overheard what they were saying. 2. The boy said, “There’s so much to think about! I just think all the time!” He turned ...read more

Are you going to cross the line and separate yourself from the world, coming out of their system, their ways, their mentality or will you stay with the world and receive the wrath of God.
“The Line in the Sand” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Do you remember the challenge when you draw a line in the dirt and dare someone to cross it.

The Seven Seals Are Open-(Ing) Now.
Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Feb 18, 2026
What if what we have been taught about the End times, the Rapture, and the Tribulation was incorrect? Not the events but the timing of them. What if I told you that what we have thought was going to happen after the Rapture is already taking place?
