Contributed by Tony Abram on Sep 14, 2012

The Importance Of Christian Unity Series

Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 16, 2011

All true believers have God’s glory within, no matter what they may look like on the outside. Christian unity is not based on the external, but the internal. The very Spirit of God within us.

How important is unity in our individual lives? How important is unity in our church? Jesus had a lot to say about the importance of unity. If Christians cannot be unified, then we are not approaching one another in love. And we cannot be a good witness for Christ if we are bickering with one ...read more

All We Like Sheep Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

We, as Christians, can go astray like sheep. Sin keeps zapping us like an electric fence, but we eventually become numb to it and cross over to enter the dangers of the world. The Shepherd will then react. So, how will He react?

To begin this evening’s message, I would like to share a verse from the Old Testament. Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” All of us have gone astray from God at some point in our ...read more

A Hand Up...not A Hand Out! (Acts 3:1-10)

Contributed by David Darst on May 17, 2021

I have come to this conclusion: People do not need a “hand out” . What they really need is a “hand up” So many people would be content to be carried around in their affliction rather than walk on their own two feet. The Worst part is many Christian’s are content to keep carrying them.

The Spirit-Filled Christian

Contributed by Chris Talton on Feb 11, 2004
