    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 11, 2024
     | 472 views

    Many divisions have occurred in Christian assemblies for centuries. Understanding or misunderstanding Spiritual Gifts given by grace to mankind from God has been the cause for divisions. Are these gifts still present today? Are they utilized properly?

    Most of the time, assemblies of persons desiring to worship Almighty God will be filled with those who had been introduced to God by attending an assembly with their parents and grand-parents. However, some may be in attendance who never knew much concerning God and spiritual things. Now they are ...read more

    Peace is something everyone wants, yet few people really seem to find. It can be defined as “tranquility, harmony, security, prosperity or well-being”. Perfect peace is the condition of freedom from disturbance within the soul

Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - When we look at the condition of the world today and we see Mass shootings, road rage, Covid, Monkey Pox, people killing people because someone got their order wrong at the drive thru window it is hard to envision peace.

    When Christ warned the disciples that he’d be leaving them, they didn’t take the news very well. He left them with words of comfort and admonition to help them overcome this test in their life.

     | 2,993 views

    God works by addition and multiplication Our enemy works by subtraction and division. We need to identify those that cause division in the church. God's best work is accomplished when we are in one mind and one accord.

     | 3,219 views

    God is not done writing our stories. We may not have chosen to be in the circumstances we find ourselves in, but if we hang on - if we choose faith and trust - knowing that if it is not good yet, it’s because God is not done yet, then one day we will see our lives from His vantage point.

    Bible Stories ESTHER Romans 8:28 April 22, 2023 The book of Esther is a true narrative. The story begins in the third year of Xerxes the Great (Ahasuerus), who was King of Persia from 486-465 BC.

    The Peril Of False Prophets (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 13, 2022
     | 3,232 views

    Satan doesn’t mind the church gathering together as long as we don’t share the truth of the gospel. He doesn’t mind preaching as long as it doesn’t reveal the depravity of humanity and the salvation available through Christ our Lord.

    The Peril of False Prophets (Part 1) Matthew 7: 15-20 As I studied this passage, I was reminded of the relevance of Scripture for every generation. 2 Tim.3:16 – All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in ...read more

    Simon Peter made one of the greatest decisions of his life when he decided to leave everything and follow Jesus.

    Foreword: Every person who follows Jesus as Lord and Savior has at least one thing in common with every believer: he or she made a decision to follow Him.
