     | 7,285 views

    Sermon of effective prayer

    If a soldier fails to aim correctly at his target and misses it, it’s unwise to conclude that his weapon does not work. Other soldiers can make use of that same weapon and hit the target perfectly well. The weapon needs no revision in its manufacture but the soldier has to be trained on its ...read more

    God gives us four keys to a victorious new life in Christ: 1. Learning the truth (vs. 1-9). 2. Counting on the truth (vs. 10-12). 3. Yielding to the truth (vs. 12-14). 4. Walking in the truth (vs. 1-4).

     | 6,199 views

    The danger is that we begin to think of the morally abnormal as normal and the things that tend to cause moral carelessness as matters of indifference. Christ-like love banishes the indecent.

    Choose paths inside God’s bounds that lead to purity. Choose to love one another and so reflect Christ. Choose hard work leading to character that honors Christ. Choose to grieve in hope because God has made death sure in Him.

    Run To The Roar Series

     | 5,374 views

    Independence Day: This message looks at what the NT says about fighting; and it reflects on the initial battles of the American Revolution, with an application toward the spiritual conflict that we face in America today.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Run to the Roar.” The Fourth of July is a national holiday that many churches recognize; one which “celebrates America’s Declaration of Independence from the tyranny of England under King George the III.”(1) I find it interesting that we have a day ...read more

    Becoming All Things

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 17, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,392 views

    This message looks at how Paul was able to reach others by becoming all things to all people "without compromising his faith." Written in 2020, it is applied to showing compassion about differing views of the Corona Virus.

    In our message this week, we’re going to encounter something the apostle Paul said – something very interesting – that becomes the philosophy for his ministry, and that forms the basis for a number of chapters in the book of 1 Corinthians, including the chapters that we’re going to view today; and ...read more

    What Is A Real Christian?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

     | 6,921 views

    With cultural Christianity being the norm in America, nominal faith is what people see most often, and it’s what comes to mind when we tell people we’re a Christian. So, what is a "real" Christian? This message points out five traits.

    I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing a story by Franklin Graham. He tells us, “Some years ago, I was in a cab when I asked the driver about his faith. He replied that he was a Christian, and I asked him how he became one. I’ll never forget his reply: ‘Oh, I was born a Christian’.” ...read more

    The Pharisees thought religion was about rules and regulations. Jesus taught that it was about worshipping God from the heart and meeting human needs. This sermon looks at the Pharisees silly Sabbath rules and Jesus’ correction of their false teachings, and a startling statement of His deity.

    Living In Babylon: The Writing On The Wall Series

     | 3,749 views

    Our Christian faith and commitment to the Church and our time spent in the Bible has been weighed and is found wanting. When we find our commitment and loyalty to Christ divided, we fall. Its all ‘writing on the wall.’

    FAITH FOR EXILES: LIVING IN BABYLON THE WRITING ON THE WALL DANIEL 5:1-31 INTRODUCTION WITH READING THE PASSAGE I would like to begin this morning by reading Daniel 5. It is quite a lot of verses, so I don’t want you to get distracted or bored or lost, but let’s focus well as we read these ...read more

    Did the Apostle Paul have enemies? He sure did! I never thought about it before, but I think he had many opponents (enemies) because His preaching must have ruffled many feathers. I love him because I love the books of the Bible he wrote and the stand he took for Jesus Christ.

    We are living in an insane world. People hold political power and make stupid laws and mandates. A person who uses reason, logic, and common sense often feels isolated amid all the madness

    "The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this: that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever; but you, O Lord, are on high forever.
