     | 6,008 views

    Conquering is a choice. It’s a big choice, it’s a choice with bumps in the road. Paul commanded Timothy to endure hardness as a good solider.

     | 2,010 views

    Palm Sunday Message. If there is a resurrection, how does it work? What is the resurrected body like? all Scripture quotes are from the NASB.

    Today is Palm Sunday, the day we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people were waving palm branches, and shouting “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD” (Mark11:9). What a joyful day that was. In its OT context, from Psalm 118:25, Hosanna means ‘I beseech ...read more

    The Word Of God Is Not Bound

    Paul was a prisoner, bound with a chain, but he told Timothy, "But God's Word is NOT bound!" Religions nor Govts can bind the Word; our unworthiness can't bind it, and it can't be stopped!

    THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND 2 Tim. 2:1-5, 8-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. It was the 9th of July and the judge, a veteran, was in a good mood as he asked the prisoner, “What are you charged with?” 2. The defendant replied, “Your Honor, I was simply doing my 4th of July shopping early.” “That’s ...read more

    Be willing every day for God to use you to tell people what’s so good about the Good News.

    LIVING IN A DIVERSE CULTURE – PART 1 Text: Acts 17:16-21 Introduction 1. A conversation I had recently with someone in the church struck me as very profound.

    The Thessalonians # 1 (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 1,193 views

    On of the things that hurts the Lord’s work is that sometimes people join the church who are not sincere in their relationship with the Lord.

    These join for wrong reasons. For example, if you ask people what kind of church they are looking for, some answers will be: • “Well, I do not really like that church, but I probably will join the one down the street because it is convenient.” • “I am looking for a church with a good youth ...read more

    American Idols July 4 Sermon

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 3,134 views

    America has become the land of idolatry. But before I make that claim, I need to make sure that I have the right definition of idolatry.

    Illus: Dr. Billy Graham says, "We usually think of an idol as a religious figure carved of wood or stone, perhaps in some primitive tribe far removed from civilization. But we have our "idols" today, because an idol is anything that you worship in place of the living God. Some ...read more

    What Do You See?

     | 3,538 views

    Have you ever been hit on the head and had someone take you to the emergency room and a doctor examined you?

    He held up some fingers and asked you, “How many fingers do you see?” If he holds up four fingers and you see four of them, then he says you are OK. But if he holds up two and you see four of them, you have a problem. In Mark 8, this is similar to what happened. Look at verses 22-25, we read, ...read more

    More important than knowing WHEN Jesus is coming is remembering that he HAS come, and he WILL come.

    We're On God's Team

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 18, 2023
     | 2,469 views

    One of the unquestioned beliefs in the Church today is that God is in control of everything that happens in our lives and on this planet. This message addresses this belief using the analogy of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as coaches of a football team.

    Turn with me to Romans 12. We're going to read verses four and five. (4) For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: (5) `So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Some years ago, a well-known professional ...read more

    There are many things that will touch your heart and send a range of emotions in your life. Many things will touch you but there is nothing like being touched by God.

    Touched By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - There are many things that will touch your heart and send a range of emotions in your life. A stroll along a sandy beach at sunset with the love of your life will touch your heart and send the emotion of love running through you. The loss of a ...read more

    7. Joseph - Let Down And Lifted Up Series

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 14, 2023
     | 1,981 views

    Joseph was let down by his family, by a woman he would not be tempted by and by a man he helped. He may have been tempted to see all this as being let down by God, but he didn't. He remained faithful and God raised him up and raised the nation that gave Jesus to you and me.

    From Adam to Malachi Sermon 7 7. JOSEPH- LET DOWN AND LIFTED UP For two long days and nights the eyes and prayers of America turned toward Midland, Texas, where little Jessica McClure lay deep in a well. More than 2,500 years ago, around 1700 B.C., another person found himself deep in a well. ...read more

    Back To School-Paul's Final Message Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 17, 2023
     | 1,814 views

    The book of 2 Timothy is Paul's last letter. In chapter 4 Paul gives what could be called his last message to Timothy. Look for the four types of disciples Paul mentions in verses 9-11.

    (Based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription) Introduction: Paul had been convicted and sentenced to death. Before this happened, though, he wrote this second letter to Timothy. In keeping with our August “back-to-school” theme, we could say that ...read more
