    One Generation Away From Extinction

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Jul 5, 2019
     | 5,757 views

    There's a saying, "Freedom's never free." We live in the freest country in the world, but what do we do with that freedom. As the Church, are we seeking to be a blessing so that through us God can truly bless the USA?

    INTRODUCTION: In Lee Greenwood’s signature ultra-patriotic song “God Bless the USA” he says these words: If tomorrow all my things were gone,I'd worked for all my life. And I had to start again,With just my children and my wife. I'd thank my lucky stars,To be livin' here ...read more

    God Sees You, Not Only As What You Are, But As What You Are Becoming

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 14, 2019

    When Jesus met Simon, he named him "Peter", or "Rock", even though Peter's character at that time was decidedly un-rocklike. But Jesus saw what he would become, just as he sees as, not only as we are but as what we will become in Him.

    The first thing we notice in these seven verses is the number of references to stones. Living stones. Precious stones. Corner stones. Stones that are chosen by God but rejected by men. A stone that causes people to stumble and fall. Now, think about that for a moment. Why would that be? Why would ...read more

    Priests (Leviticus)

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Jul 15, 2019
     | 5,310 views

    Priests serve as intermediaries between God and Israel. Jesus is our High Priest for all time. Yet, we are still the priesthood of believers.

    “Priests” (Leviticus) Leviticus 8:1-3, 6-10 OPENING AND INTRODUCTION Last week, we started a journey in Leviticus by looking at offerings and how they were presented to God. Blood is a big part of sacrifices which cleaned Israel from their sins, their guilt, and even offered ...read more

    Don't Sell Your Birthright Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 28, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,567 views

    Don't sell your birthright, like Esau did. Don’t sell your priesthood. Don’t sell the promises of God. And don’t sell your power over sin. Instead, enjoy your inheritance rights as a child of God, and live like the king that you are!

    Some time ago (September 16, 2009), an article in The Washington Post began with these words: “The king folds her own laundry, chauffeurs herself around Washington in a 1992 Honda, and answers her own phone. Her boss's phone, too.” The article was about Peggielene Bartels, a secretary in the ...read more

    While no official persecution of Christianity currently exits, there are signs that Christianity is becoming increasingly unpopular.

    Jeff Lasater was 14 when he took his own life last month (October 20, 2008). A student in Las Angeles’ Acton High School, Lasater had been the target of boys throwing chili on him in the school lunch line. While others pulled his pants down. It was reported that the young man was the target of ...read more

    Who Am I? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 5,174 views

    What gives us our identity is not color or culture. But “chosenness.” Christians are not the white race; they are the chosen race. Christians are not the black race; they are the chosen race.

    “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but ...read more

    Why Being Good Matters Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,633 views

    We must be vigilant and fight against gratifying ourselves in opposition to the will of God.

    Today, I want to talk about “Why Being Good Matters.” And I want to express it in such a way that rebels who repent of their sins have hope. We want to examine our purpose in living against the backdrop of life itself. Not a sanitized view of life that we find in an ivory tower, stained glass ...read more

     | 2,286 views

    When you see yourself as an alien and an exile with your citizenship in heaven, and God as your only Sovereign, you stop drifting with the current of the day. You ponder what is good for the soul and what honors God in everything.

    When is something worth nothing? Zimbabwe’s central bank will introduce a $50 billion note -- enough to buy just two loaves of bread – as a way of fighting cash shortages amid spiraling inflation. Zimbabwe is grappling with hyperinflation now officially estimated at 231 million percent, and its ...read more

    A message on being a reflection of God in the darkness of this world

    In the first chapter of the Bible, God's very first recorded words were "Let there be light" (Gen 1:3 NIV). In Hebrew, it says, "Light, become!, and light became!" In that single finite moment, before time began, the infinite God spoke the Universe into existence. He ...read more

    Peculiar People

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    Today, I want to expand on the idea that we are living stones. And the very fact that we are living stones should make us feel uncomfortable.

    INTRODUCTION: Today, we conclude our series on things that should make you feel uncomfortable. We have talked about a church that is preaching God’s Word should make you feel uncomfortable because it ought to be confronting the sin in your life; and that church ought to be challenging you to ...read more

    Philemon Testimony -

    It seems to be a random set of scriptures that is perfect for the time like this where people have once again been made aware of inequality, injustice and racism. A time when many run to the scriptures to find answers.

    Today, we jump into the book of philemon. A personal letter from paul to a house church leader and his family.
