    Angels And Heavenly Beings - Part 2 - Fallen Angels Series

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 28, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,855 views

    The Bible mentions Angels over 300 times and reveals that God created them, along with all things "visible and invisible" (Colossians 1:16). This study will look at Angels - Faithful and Fallen, Heavenly Beings, and warnings about them.

    You cannot trust every Angel. The enemy of God, originally named Lucifer, is now known as satan. He is the leader of the evil angels and rules them and the world of human beings. They are his kingdom, and they obey him and worship him. He chose not to abide in truth and fell into condemnation ...read more

     | 2,076 views

    Paul was addressing a diverse group of people in Corinth who obviously were not all alike but all gifted by God’s Holy Spirit. Paul was pointing out how God brings people from all walks of life together and unites them in ministry in spite of their diversity.

    "From Genesis To Glory: The Legacy Of African American Labor” Honoring The Past And Inspiring The Future

    The inspiring theme "African American Labor," a reflection not only on historical events but also on the resilience and ingenuity of our people. Just like Joseph, our journey has spanned from bondage to blessing, shaped by faith, struggle, and an indomitable spirit.

    "Joseph said to his brothers, 'I am Joseph! Is my father still living?' But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence. Then Joseph said to his brothers, 'Come close to me. When they had done so, he said, "I am your brother Joseph, ...read more

    Out-Of-The-Box-Worship

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,171 views

    Worship doesn’t involve behaving as if nothing is wrong; it’s making sure everything is right—right with God and with one another. When our greatest fear is letting down our hair, perhaps our greatest sin is keeping it up.

    Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

    What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,824 views

    The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

    For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more
