Contributed by Tammy Hardwick on Feb 1, 2014

With the day to day, the endless list of things that need to be done, the never ending mountains and valleys Christians all too often get lost in the lies of the world and need a gentle reminder of who they are - A Child of GOD!

(Before I began the message I gave each member a 3x5 index card and asked each person to do the following: With 1 to 5 words describe yourself when you are done pass the card to someone else *it is a little more fun if you are not related ask them to use 1 to 5 words to tell you who they think ...read more

Dead To The World

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 11, 2019

During the Last Supper, Jesus tells disciples that they are not of this world. And in the epistles, we see that Christians are dead to sin. In this message, we look at what it means to be dead but spiritually alive.

Dead To The World Let’s open with John 18:36. Jesus has been arrested and is being questioned by Pilate. “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from ...read more

Can A Born-Again Christian Have A Demon In Their Soul Or Body But Not In Their Spirit??

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 14, 2019

An in-depth, multi-part biblical look at "Deliverance Ministry," curses, "sins of the father," the position, rights and authority of every Born-Again Christian.

During the late 1960’s there began a teaching within the church that is now known as ‘Deliverance Ministry (DM).’ It is believed by a majority of DM proponents that when a person becomes Born-Again, light comes into their spirit, and they become brand new, but their body will not be made new ...read more

We Are Family

Contributed by Steve Taylor on Nov 20, 2019

Brothers and sisters, we can experience the wonder of family or we can dismiss the moments of real love that comes with it. Let’s not let days like thanksgiving be the only time families gather around and share those special moments.

Brothers and sisters, last week we talked about being thankful for the things that we have, and for the life that we share. Well part of that life that we share is with family. AMEN Now, by family I don’t necessarily mean family by some blood DNA, but family as “God’s Family”. If you really ...read more

A Passion To Serve

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 3, 2020

There is this big disconnect between loving the Lord and serving Him because many who say they love the Lord really don’t love Him. We will learn today that Jesus links together love and service.

If one were to take a survey and ask Christians the question “Do you love the Lord” the results of the survey would probably indicate that 99.9% of all surveyed "loved the Lord." Most would even say they "loved the Lord a lot." If one were to survey these same people and ask ...read more
