Trust And Obey (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 22, 2022

This morning we looked at something we talk, teach, preach and sing about, that is, “TRUST AND OBEY!”

We dealt with the TRUST this morning, but this evening we would like to deal with the OBEY part of that song. Something that Peter and the early disciples understood that today’s church does not understand, is that WE CHRISTIANS ARE TO OBEY GOD. They understood that you obeyed God: • When it was ...read more

More Than Just Sending Cards Or Giving Chocolates And Flowers

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Feb 12, 2022

Americans spent $21 billion on Valentine's Day in 2021 to send cards or buy chocolates and flowers for their loved ones. God wants us to show our love more than that. As Christ always loves us, He wants us to love others every day!

We Must Obey God Rather Than Men

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 16, 2022

Where does obedience to the command of men stop and obedience to God begin?

We must obey God rather than Men Acts 5:26-33 Sometimes, the Scripture seems to put us in quite a dilemma.

Would Jesus Be A Revolutionary

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 9, 2022

While His life revolutionized Hebrew thinking and affected much of world history, He did not come to overthrow the government.
