Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 4, 2025

We examine the tricky problem of church finances and what is paid to pastors and church workers. Who are those who genuinely do the work of the Lord? I quote from an excellent sermon on gospel support as well.

Three crosses stood on Calvary – three destinies unfolded. One man mocked, another believed, and in the middle hung the Savior whose sacrifice bridged the gap between sinful humanity and holy God.

The Problem Of Suffering And The Panacea Of Our Savior Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Apr 21, 2025

When in Jesus' ministry of healing and teaching, he addresses the reality of the suffering that we experience and solves the root problem of our suffering - sin.

It’s not uncommon for people to ask the question, “why do bad things happen to good people?” Or to state it another way, “if God is good, why do bad things happen?” It can sometimes feel like the worst things in life happen to some of the best people. At times it can feel like God is out to get ...read more

How Does The Bible Describe God?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 9, 2025

If someone asked you to describe your best friend, you would be able to describe them thoroughly. If someone asked you to describe God according to what the scriptures says about Him, COULD YOU DESCRIBE HIM THOROUGHLY?

It is important that we learn all we can learn about God from the scriptures. Why? • Because we really cannot WORSHIP GOD unless WE KNOW HIM. • Because we really cannot SERVE GOD unless WE KNOW HIM. • Because we cannot BECOME if we do not know what kind of God He is. You see, a lot of folks ...read more

Elevate To The Next Level - "The People God Uses”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 29, 2025

One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.
