    To be new in Christ means to "Quit" being "of the world." What are you "quitting" today? Those who take this message to heart and begin enacting some of these principles, will begin see the breakthrough they’ve been needing, wanting, and desiring.

    While I was preparing to write the message for today, the Holy Spirit asked me, “Where are my people getting their milk from?” As I began writing the first words, the Holy Spirit asked me again, “Where are my people getting their milk from?” With each word I wrote, the question became more ...read more

     | 2,659 views

    We often mess up two words: alter and altar. We can change, alter, our attitudes by spending time on the altar of God. The terrible battle of bad attitudes is won or lost on the altar. You can change, if you want to...

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 8, 2023
     | 1,513 views

    This message gives a survey of the events leading up to Pentecost and the command from the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel to everyone. This is an adaptation of a message from the 1995 edition of the Zondervan's Pastor's Annual. It needed no update, for the Word of God is eternal.

    The disciples were made up of men who had been called from their chosen professions to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Having left all, it must have seemed to them that at the crucifixion of Jesus they had lost all. Following the admonition of their Lord, whom they saw disappear into the clouds, they ...read more

    The Word made flesh was revealed in glory; now the Word given by the holy writers attests to this fac that we may believe.

    A child’s birth, a college graduation, grandma’s funeral – these are some examples of life-changing events. We’ve all observed them and they’ve affected us in one way or another, either for good or bad. Just consider the events of September 11th.

    Perfect Or Finished?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 26, 2023
     | 1,162 views

    "Perfect" is a single word with a huge load of meaning. Do we have the right idea about the word?

    Perfect or Finished? I have to admit my thoughts and feelings when I first heard the Biblical injunction from Jesus, “Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt 5:48) I felt horrible; I thought I was doomed. Hell was to be my ultimate destination. Perfect is a single word with a huge ...read more

    God's Love

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 13, 2025
     | 311 views

    But, as is usually the case, the Word of God contradicts the word of the world, and tells us that “God is love,” not the other way around.

    God’s Love 1John 4:13-21 I think it’s safe to say that the one thing our world truly needs today is love. Songs are written about it all the time. John Lennon wrote the song “All You Need is Love.” Dionne Warwick made famous the song, “What the Word Needs Now is Love”. And you know what? They’re ...read more

    Friend, pull up a chair and take a deep breath. If your week felt like spilled cereal, missing socks, and schedules that didn’t stick, you’re in good company.

     | 7,944 views

    This message looks at the problem in Acts 11:1-18 of those in the early church focusing on the wrong aspects of what took place there.

    Sometimes we as Christians can get all bent out of shape over the smallest, most insignificant things. You might think that it has something to do with today’s “drive thru” culture but you would be wrong. In fact, today we will see that it goes all the way back to the early Church. That is why I ...read more
