    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2013
     | 5,140 views

    1 Peter 3:8-9 gives us a descriptive picture of how we should treat each other. It offers a positive look at how we should act, a negative look at how we shouldn't act, and, a look at how our love for one another will bring a blessing.

    Today, let's take a look at some instruction from the Holy Scriptures on differing attitudes. Attitudes what a difference they make in every part of our lives! Different attitudes of cashiers under certain circumstances. Good cashiers: Friendly, pleasant, courteous, smiling If situation ...read more

    Like a real, jaw-dropping surprise birthday party, Paul writes about the loving, behind-the-scenes preparations of God in foreordaining that, one day, we would be ’surprised by His grace!"

    Preface: Today, I will be starting a sermon series on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. I’ve entitled it, Highlights from Ephesians, and it is what I term a “broad-stroke” series.

    The Scarecrow And The Pelican – Very Apt Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022
     | 2,804 views

    The message begins with the insanity of idolatry. Idols are no more than scarecrows in a cucumber field. In great distress David resembled a pelican in the wilderness. Applications are drawn from these two objects to Christian living and personal affliction.

    THE SCARECROW AND THE PELICAN – VERY APT PART 1 - A SCARECROW IN A CUCUMBER FIELD {{Jeremiah 10:1-5 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.

    A Legacy Through Mentoring

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,619 views

    It is difficult to cross generational lines; and yet, we are supposed to share the love of Christ with the next generation (Psalm 71:17-18). One way to minister to the succeeding generation effectively is through mentoring.

    When we become older we start pondering our spiritual heritage and faith in Jesus Christ, and we begin to wonder whether or not the succeeding generations will carry on what we have learned. So, we try to provide young people with exposure to our worship services, hoping that our values and ...read more

    The Emptiness of Jesus was not only good; it was necessary.

    Emptiness is not usually seen as a good thing. In our lives, we have all kinds of technology to alert us when things get close to empty. - Often I have an alert that goes off to tell me when my gas tank gets close to empty. A bright glowing light and bell goes off alerting me that I’d better stop ...read more

    In all their colors, shapes, sizes, languages, and ages, human beings are amazing - and related to one another!

    I am a people watcher. The way people interact with each other, how they show various emotions, and appropriate the uniqueness of cultural differences, have intrigued me for as long as I can remember. All human beings have more in common with each other than they think. When the Triune God said, ...read more

     | 10,402 views

    Most Christians act just like people in the world. Why? Because they don't realize they're Sons of God, what that means, and what Christ has actually done in them! This message is a powerful revelation that can revolutionize a Christian's life.
