Do Not Worry!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Mar 8, 2022

Once again we are shocked by the turmoil that has arisen, not just among individuals, but even between nations. Again & again we’ve witnessed how cruel people can be, & how cheaply human life is regarded by some.

The Restoration Of Sight And The Reception Of Salvation

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2022

In John 9, we read of the healing and salvation of a poor, blind man who has received not only physical sight, but also spiritual sight to see that Jesus was the Promised One of God. We also witness the deliberate spiritual lack of sight by the religious leaders who rejected the Light of God.

John Newton (1725-1807) was one of the most blasphemous, vile, unscrupulous, cruel, and hateful men who ever made his living by means of the sea. While he had been reared in a goldy home and had been taught the Scriptures by his mother, he walked away from any type of religious faith and for ...read more

Removing The Veil (February 28, 2022)

Unbelief always causes problems! In today’s text, Paul associates the veil with unbelief!

REMOVING THE VEIL Text: 2 Corinthians 3:12 - 4:2 2 Co 3:12-18  Since, then, we have such a hope, we act with great boldness,  (13)  not like Moses, who put a veil over his face to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of the glory that was being set aside. ...read more

"A New Person!”

Contributed by Grady H Moore on Mar 11, 2022

This is the story of the amazing change that God can bring about in a man's life.

My friend told me this story about what his life was like before he met Christ. He said that for years he had worked at a large defense plant near Dallas. Headed home on Fridays, he would stop and buy his beer for the weekend. His weekends consisted of heavy drinking. None of the family attended ...read more

Resurrection Sunday (Luke, Part 13) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 18, 2022

Either Jesus is who He said He is – or He is a liar … He cannot be both. We come to church today (of all days) to celebrate where our hope comes from; but we must see/admit our need for a Savior.

Resurrection Sunday (Luke, Part 13) Luke 24:1-12 Introduction / Recap - Last week, we discussed the arrest, trial, crucifixion, and burial; saw three things: - First, a natural response (sadness, etc.) to Jesus’ suffering is not enough - Second, the cross is the most vivid illustration of John ...read more

Transformed By Christ Series

How should the death & resurrection of Jesus change us? The purpose of the death of Christ is to empower us live a life for Him

2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-15 TRANSFORMED BY CHRIST [Romans 14:7-9] When Jesus was crucified on the Cross and raised again on the third day, He won the victory over sin and death.

A Thorn In The Flesh

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 21, 2022

Paul had a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan sent to buffet him. God allowed it to keep him humble. God used the weakness in Paul's life to show His mighty power and majesty. God is able to turn our weaknesses to strengths if we surrender to Him.

TEXT: 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might ...read more

Surrender - Adjust - Obey Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Apr 24, 2022

Before we can become like Jesus, we must first choose to commit every moment of the day to Surrender and Obedience and that will require us to Adjust.

April 23, 2022 At the center of our life of discipleship is Jesus. We have chosen to hold fast to, cling to, bond to, attach ourselves to, be faithful to ---- HIM.

The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022

The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

Watch How You Build Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 4, 2022

We are all builders in Christ, but there is only one foundation. Watch how you build upon it and be rewarded for what remains on the day we face God.

Let us RECAP THE CONTEXT. • Paul has been addressing the divisions in the Corinth church, honestly and directly. • The believers were taking sides, glorifying certain leaders and human wisdom. • Paul said it clearly in 3:1 “But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people ...read more

In Christ (Part One )

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now considered to be 'in Christ'. It's an interesting phrase used to refer followers of Jesus but what does it mean?

IN CHRIST (part one) Last week my sermon was based on Jesus' words to the teacher of the law when he told him he was not far from the kingdom of God. Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now ...read more

Good morning to the blessed of the Lord! You are God’s hope in this world! Praise God!
