Contributed by James May on Jun 4, 2006

The Prodigal Son was hungry but he couldn’t even eat the filth of the world. His only hope was to go home. Jesus is waiting for you to come home.

All of those parables teach some very important lessons that every one of us should learn and heed. This morning I want to speak to you about one of those parables. It’s the very ...read more

How To Choose The Best Part

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 17, 2021

When my wife was sick at home she called me at the office and asked me stop by the grocery store on my way home to buy a loaf of bread.

Listen; if I am not mistaken I can not remember going to a grocery store since I became an adult. But as I got inside I had no idea where the bread was. I walked all over the store and finally found the section that had the bread. That was not an easy job because there were all kinds of bread on ...read more

Don’t Be Confused About The Term Series

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Nov 7, 2010

The modern-day, Americanized church is a poor representation of the 1st Century church. We are confused about what we are.

Don’t be Confused – (THE TERM) - #1 Matthew 16:13-19 * This morning I carry you on a brief journey on which, for the past couple of weeks, I have found myself.

Settle Disputes Like A Christian Series

Contributed by Andy Moyle on Feb 24, 2016

The Corinthians were pretty American - they loved suing each other. So Paul tells them to stop it and do it the grace way!

As you can see this morning we are passionate about being a gateway for the gospel to goto the nations. I want to see heaven populated with people from all nations because of what we have been partnering with the Spirit in here!

I recon this is what I deserve for candidly commenting about a subject that is near and dear to the minds of so many people: ...read more

Lydia was so grateful that Paul brought her the good news about Jesus that she immediately went into home missions. She asked Paul and his fellow laborers to come to her home. Her hospitality led to her home becoming the first church in Europe.

We may not see them very often, but they are out there in the world, and they have always been there, and in our day there number is increasing. I am not talking about UFO's but about those women who are wise in the ways of the world of wealth, and, thus, are rich and successful women ...read more

Raising Boys To Be Men

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 22, 2021

Gender-role confusion is an increasingly serious issue in American churches. Many men and women have lost the concept of what it means to be masculine or feminine.

Measured against the biblical teaching on marriage and family, there is no other conclusion to draw than our culture is decaying. In place of biblical roles where men, women, and children find their identity, we have elevated freedom to be whatever you want as the supreme good. In place of the ...read more

The Head Of The House Series

Contributed by Jason Pettibone on Dec 18, 2006

I believe that America’s number one social problem today is with husbands and fathers. If we ran our businesses like we lead our homes, the economy would collapse! There is a crisis of leadership in our homes.

The Head of the House Men, brace yourselves! You’re my target today. I’m going to talk primarily to husbands and fathers in this message. Wives, you can prepare your elbows. Go ahead, move a little closer to him so you can really dig in if I happen to make a point you think needs to be ...read more
