    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 18, 2025
     | 613 views

    God responded to her suffering, not her prayer, revealing Himself to her and giving her the assurance that He had seen her affliction. This encounter provided Hagar with strength and the knowledge that she was not alone, but rather seen, known, and understood by God.

    Today I want to talk to you about church planting, because all churches are NOT GOD PLANTED! HOW DOES GOD PLANT A CHURCH?

    Illus: CHURCH PLANTING is something like what a farmer does; • He plants the seed, • Cultivates the seed, • Fertilizes the seed • And then patiently waits for it to grow.

    Our text today is found in that part of the book of Jeremiah that many people refer to as the Book of Consolation or the Book or Comfort. Chapters 30 and 31 stand out in the book of Jeremiah because they offer something completely different from what he normally preaches.

    Stop Telling God What To Do

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

    There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

    "Woe To You": Avoiding The Pharisees’ Mistakes About Faith Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 4, 2025
     | 302 views

    Jesus' criticism of the religious leaders provides several insights into what genuine faith is supposed to look like.

    WRONG WAY: Jesus rejected the Pharisees’ approach to faith. - Luke 11:37-38. - Jesus gets invited to dine with a Pharisee and He goes. That in itself is interesting: Jesus is engaging with those who are His most vociferous enemies. - Why did He do that? I think there are at least a couple ...read more

    The Idols That Make Us Idle

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025
     | 228 views

    It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

    God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more
