    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 26, 2024
     | 366 views

    Paul’s last words to the church in Ptolemais really ought to be our rallying cry! Are we willing not only willing to be arrested for the cause of Christ, but would we give our life for His glory also? Why not?

    Jesus Is Very Much The Light Of The World

     | 326 views

    All of us are called to be evangelists to the folks around us. That means all of us must practice self-control, moderation.

    Friday of 23rd week in course 2024 Today’s Scriptures need to be read with the saying of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Jesus said “I am the Light of the world.” We see it again in the Book of Revelations, as the description of the eternal city of God tells us that there is no need for lamps ...read more

    Sermon # 8 - Time To Wake Up Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 13, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,061 views

    In the midst of a serious storm, Jonah was blissfully asleep unaware of the predicament of his fellow passengers caused by his disobedience. Is it possible that the church too is asleep at a time when we have to wake up to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave us?

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” (Darby) This is the ...read more

     | 689 views

    Must women be silent in the church? Can a person under the unction of the Holy Spirit control himself? This message examines guidelines Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 14 concerning church order.

    Intro We are in the last half of 1 Cor. 14 for our text today. Last week, we concluded with Paul’s words in verses 18-19, “I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all; 19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten ...read more

    Sermon # 28 - Share The Good News Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 18, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 202 views

    When challenged with problems and hardships that seem insurmountable here’s how we should handle it. Trust God to do the impossible, do all that we can do and then when the miraculous happens, make it a point to share the good news with others.

    We read in 2 Kings 6:24-25, “And it happened after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. And there was a great famine in Samaria;” (NKJV) The city of Samaria was under siege by Ben-Hadad the king of Syria, and no one could enter or exit that ...read more

    To Pay Or Not To Pay

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 23, 2025
     | 123 views

    In chapter nine of First Corinthians, the apostle Paul speaks to the issue of paying the preacher. He says it is the right thing to do. On the other hand, he reminds the Corinthians that when he was with them, he did not accept a salary.

    Alba 6-22-2025 TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY I Corinthians 9:1-18 Today's subject is “To Pay or Not to Pay”, that is the question. There was a preacher who had just finished his sermon for the day and went to the back of the church for his usual greetings and handshaking. After shaking a few hands ...read more

    Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 753 views

    Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

    We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more

    To gain a hearing for the gospel, know your rights and give up your rights.

    Dr. Seuss’s Horton Hears a Who! centers around two characters: Horton, an elephant living in the Jungle of Nool, and the tiny mayor of Whoville, which is an extremely small world, which resides as a speck on a clover that Horton carries around.

    Foregoing Our Rights Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,649 views

    Paul did not use his rights because of his concern for the witness of the Gospel and the welfare of the people he is reaching out to.

    Everyone has rights. We can stand up for our rights. We ask for what we deserve. • Yet it is not always necessary for us to do so. There are times when we need to forego legitimate rights for a higher good. I came across what was trending two days ago – “Don’t Treat Us Like We Owe You a Living” – ...read more

    Is Showing Emotion During The Presenting Of God’s Word Acceptable?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 16, 2023
     | 520 views

    Just because we may have heard the word can we appropriately begin to speak? What has Christ brought you out of?

    In the verse before this one, Paul wrote that he would rather die than lose his reason to preach. Now that he has made the decision to preach the Gospel, he makes it clear that he is not boasting. He believes that he has no control over whether or not he will continue to preach about how faith in ...read more
