    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 18, 2022
     | 1,924 views

    Luke 11:21 "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder. 23 "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 5, 2022
     | 1,975 views

    In the New Testament understanding of the word good, God not only wants to give us that newness that is good in character, God wants us to exhibit how that newness that is attractive because of how it satisfies. How well do our lives demonstrate our walk with God?

    WALKING THE TALK Text: Revelation 21:5 Revelation 21:5 : And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are worthy and trustworthy and true” (NRSV). A lady by the name of Wilma Reed once said, “Religion ...read more

     | 1,473 views

    So how do we honestly number our days (Psalm 90:12)? Consider Ephesians 5:15-16: "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil" (RSV).

    Ephesians 5: 15. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, 16. making the most of the time, because the days are evil. 17. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be ...read more

     | 1,493 views

    Daniel 7 tells us that the court is seated (Daniel 7:10) as the Son of Man (Jesus) approaches the Ancient of Days (God the Father) who will judge these four kingdoms represented by the four beasts! Today we will talk about our faith, the four beasts, the Ancient of Days.

    THE ANCIENT OF DAYS Text: Daniel 7:1- 3, 13 - 18 Daniel 7:1-18 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 1, 2022
     | 1,292 views

    One of God’s biggest problems with the church is complacency. It has been a problem in every age. One of biggest the problems of complacency is wanting someone else to do it.

    WHERE’S THE BENCH? Texts: Matthew 7:26 & James 1:22 Matthew 7:26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand (NRSV).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,594 views

    The display that they gave Jesus in His triumphal entry proved to be superficial over the next few days. They praised Him at the beginning of the week and voted for His crucifixion on Friday of that same week.

He said,"Christians all around the world will line up to ...read more

    The Good Samaritan

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 25, 2022
     | 1,375 views

    Jesus was making the point that our worship carries over into our works. Our love and adoration for God is something that we are supposed to exemplify in our worship.
