    The Magi's Sign

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 5, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,909 views

    Christmas is also about the gifts we are to offer in return, not to earn God's favor, but like the magi it is worth a life’s journey to follow whatever destinations may be given us to worship and to give our treasures to our Savior and our King.

    Matthew 2:1-12 The Magi’s Sign 12/8/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.” At least that is everyone’s concern about the star of Bethlehem. Of all the elements of the Christmas story, the visit of the magi who ...read more

    What’s Wrong With Arguing Over Ministry Importance? Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 9, 2016
     | 4,456 views

    Our focus must always be on what Christ offers, and what Christ has done. Will we focus on what Christ has done; or still desire our own recognition? It really is a challenge that each of us has to choose … and then follow for life!

    What’s wrong with arguing over ministry importance? John 3:22-36 Introduction - The gospel of John screams of the faith that we should have in Christ -- It is the clearest example of living life FOR the one who redeemed you and I - Re: The prophet Isaiah already laid out our ...read more

    We Need Praise And Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 21, 2015
    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,896 views

    Praise isn't always easy. Thanksgiving doesn't always come easily. However, humanity is hardwired for praise. The question is where the praise is directed. This new translation of Psalm 66 offers a fresh look at Old Testament praise for NT believers.

    Stop yawning! Quit playing with your smart phones!

    The candle of Love is one that God offers us and He wants us to shine this candle brightly to a lost world so those who are lost can experience the love of Jesus. This candle has always been shining from our GREAT God!

    Attributes Of God

    Contributed by Chris Beam on Sep 26, 2014
     | 8,573 views

    Jesus is more than enough for any and every situation that this life has to offer. There is no such thing as impossible with Jesus. There are no hopeless situations when it comes to our Lord and Savior. Whatever you or your loved one might be going through, your situation is not hopeless!

    This section of Mark’s gospel is filled with what many perceive to be impossible situations. We’ve seen how Jesus has overcome storms, demons, and now death! Each case seemed to be hopeless. The disciples thought they were going to die in the storm, no one was able to control the ...read more

    "Growing In Grace Together”

    Contributed by Austin Calder on Apr 21, 2020
     | 5,279 views

    Grace is a terribly misunderstood word and defining it sufficiently is very difficult. Some of the most detailed theology textbooks do not offer any concise definition of the term. Someone came up with this acronym: GRACE is God’s---Riches--- At---Christ’s---Expense.

    That’s not a bad way to characterize grace. One of the best-known definitions of grace is only three words: God’s unmerited favor. A. W. Tozer expanded on that idea by saying, “Grace is the good pleasure of God that allows him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.” The key word in what have ...read more

    Many in Paul's day feared those believers who died prior to Christ's return for the church would be forsaken and left within the grave. The apostle offered words of comfort and assurance regarding all the saved and their hope for the future.

    The Power Of Choice - Learning To Make The Right Choices

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 14, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,401 views

    The psalmist faced the same kind of choices we face. He may not have been living through a pandemic, deciding for or against mask, for or against vaccines or deciding which political party is right or wrong, yet he offers some great advice.

    The Psalmist poses a thought-provoking question in Psalms 25:12. “What man is he that feareth the Lord?” Ponder his question for a moment…Then allow that question to provoke a self-examination. This psalm and the three preceding it reveals all the postures of worship: David presented in all the ...read more

     | 4,375 views

    Christ is the Door. In Egypt, the blood of the lamb was taken, and the hyssop applied the blood to the door, which made the form of a cross as it went from the doorposts to the lintel and the blood ran down. At Calvary, hyssop was taken, offered to the Door on the cross, He who is the Lamb of God.
