    The ability to be weak in the presence of God is an invitation for His Presence to be strong within us.

    2 Corinthians 12:9 Joke: A job applicant was asked, “What would you consider to be your main strengths and weaknesses?” “Well,” he began, “my main weakness would definitely be my issues with reality. Sometimes I have a little trouble telling what’s real and ...read more

    Thorns And Grace (July 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 7,034 views

    Perhaps one of the most intriguing passages of scripture is that of Paul's mention of the "thorn in his flesh." Paul expounded upon his metaphor of the thorn as he said that it was something that kept his pride in check.

    THORNS AND GRACE 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 I remember going barefoot as a ten year old kid, when I was living in Aiken as a preacher’s kid. As I was going barefoot, I wound up stepping on a board that had three nails in it. The pain got my attention and definitely ...read more

    Through God’s grace the weak of us are able to shame the strong not due to our abilities but due to Christ’s power that rests upon us to do great things in His name!

    God’s Grace Sustains Us! 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, 4:8-12; Philippians 1:27; Romans 8:37; 2 Kings 18-20 How hard is it to say YES to the Lord when He asks you to serve in His kingdom?

    Before The Throne Of God (Revelation 4: 2-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 31, 2024
     | 995 views

    How can anyone describe with our limited human vocabulary the glory and wonder of God's heaven? John's vision shows that God is in control of the events here on earth and will bring all of history to a conclusion on HIs terms.

    Revelation Chapter 4 opens with the apostle John being commanded to "come up here" (v.1). He is brought to the throne room of God Almighty in all of its glory and majesty. It is far more beautiful and magnificent than any kind of palace built for kings and emperors here on Earth. What ...read more

    The Glorious Face Of God: A Sermon For Transfiguration Sunday

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 10, 2024
     | 1,099 views

    We all want to see the face of God. Someday we shall see Christ in all of His glory who is the face of God we shall see. In the meanwhile, the greater glimpses of the glory of God is only rarely revealed to certain selected persons such as Peter, James, and John on the Mount of Transfiguration.

    The Glorious Face of God 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do ...read more

    Message15 in an expositional series through Paul's "second" letter to the church in the ancient Greek city of Corinth where he defends his apostleship and corrects serious doctrinal errors within this young church.

    This week I learned about an interesting paradox called The Mother’s Paradox. Mothers, see if you can relate to any of these ideas: • Motherhood is a complete sacrifice of alone time, but it can be so lonely • In Motherhood, the days are long but the years are short • Motherhood is hilarious, but ...read more

    The Prophecy In The Upper Room, Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022
     | 1,200 views

    The Lord Jesus gave a promise to His disciples and those who would come to Him for salvation that He would return for them (John 14:1-3). These verses are considered to be His teaching on the "Rapture". Are we correct in this interpretation? We will look at the evidence.

    On the night before He was to undergo the trial of the crucifixion and the redemptive work it ensued on behalf of fallen humanity, Jesus had given the disciples the assurance that even though He would soon leave them, He also promised that He would return and "receive you to Myself, that ...read more

    Thank You Lord, For The Thorns That Hurt Us

    No true child of God gets out of life without enduring some kind of pain, adversity, discomfort, or suffering. Each encounter we have with the difficulties of life need to be seen as lessons the Sovereign LORD teaches us to rely less on ourselves and more on His wisdom and grace.

    I've spent much time in thought and silent prayer, organizing in my mind and soul on how this message should be presented.

    Sometimes the greatest gifts God gives us are the weaknesses we would never choose for ourselves.

    INTRO If we took an inventory of everything that we say in our prayers, we would likely find that the vast majority of our prayers fall into one of two simple prayers. The first category is the “Gimmie” prayer. You know the “gimmie” prayer well. “Lord, gimme that parking spot right up front. And ...read more
