     | 1,834 views

    What is the Message God promises to bless? What message would you tell to a dying man who is on the precipice of eternity?

    It was probably 15 or 20 years ago when our church was meeting on Holman Way when I ran into a youth group leader about 20 minutes before a Bible Study on Wednesday night. Her name was Caroline, and I asked her how she was doing. She said okay, but in such a manner that I knew she definitely was ...read more

    "where Is The Power Of God In Today's Church?"

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Feb 22, 2023

     | 4,619 views

    Those who embrace this message will be inspired to pursue a deeper relationship with God. Understanding that God's power is not limited to inside the church. Many people often follow pastors instead of seeking God's presence, leading to a greater power outside the church than inside.

    Do not bring popcorn to the service thinking the Holy Spirit will bring you a show.

    1 Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: The Holy Spirit was not sent to entertain you. He was sent to change you. On the Day of Pentecost, He empowered the Word spoken so that 3000 people ...read more

    The Foolishness Of Preaching

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 25, 2018
     | 8,846 views

    Some things are hard to hear within the volume of God’s word. Some things are hard to understand and comprehend. Something may even sound foolish to folks but I assure that is not the case.

    The Foolishness of Preaching 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 Message: The idea of preaching as a method to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is viewed by many in our day and time as foolishness.

    Paul did not rely on his own power but on the power of the gospel through the Holy Spirit. We can boldly proclaim the gospel when we rely on God’s power instead of our own.

    INTRODUCTION ILLUSTRATION: The summer after I graduated from high school, God called me to go on a mission trip to Taiwan.

    Spiritual Discernment

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2016
     | 7,639 views

    Spiritual discernment seems to be something lacking in many of the people in America who identify themselves as Christians. They're decisions seem to be the same as those of their unsaved neighbors. Should this be so? What does the Bible say?

    Discernment - The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment. Keen insight and good judgment … Illustration: Imagine that you walk into a bank and you see that all of the customers are laying on the floor and the only person standing is a guy with a ski mask over his face ...read more

    Is Jesus Enough?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 26, 2017
     | 8,858 views

    In 1 Corinthians there was an atmosphere of chaos and so the apostle Paul writes a letter. And in that letter he reminds them of the focal point of what he taught them when he was there and that is, "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Is that all they need?

    Please open your Bibles to 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 which we will read in a few minutes. The church in Corinth in the Bible was filled with problems. The simple act of communion had been perverted into a feast for the rich to gorge themselves in front of those who were poor and had no food. The ...read more

    When St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he was addressing a church in the middle of a bustling, worldly city — a place full of ideas, arguments, opinions, and ambitions. Sound familiar? And yet Paul doesn’t try to impress them.
