Peace, Be Still Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 14, 2013

Jesus was asleep. The boat was going down. But didn’t Jesus know there’d be a storm? Then why would He ask His disciples to sail into the teeth of this terrible storm in the middle of the night?

OPEN: A mother and her young daughter were at home alone. The father was gone on a trip for his company and night was coming on. Outside, it became increasingly dark and disturbing.

Redeeming The Time Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

To begin our message, I want to point out a couple of concerns we often hear expressed by pastors and church leaders, which are: 1.) Christians rarely share their faith, and 2.) Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more

Striking The Shepherd

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

The devil worked through believers to see Jesus betrayed and crucified. He is working today to discredit God's shepherds. When conflict arises, people all too often deny their leader; and this is the point at which he is led away to be crucified!

In Job 2:7, we read, “So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” I think most of us realize that Satan can attack people physically by robbing them of their health; however, the surprising revelation is ...read more

A Picture Of Home Series

Contributed by Engleburg Toney on Dec 18, 2021

God’s Deliverance

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 24, 2022

Often when we face the difficulties of life, we try to make sense out of what we are facing. But what frustrates us at times like this is that IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!

For example, when the terrorists struck the Trade Towers in New York City, and the Pentagon, on Sept. 11, 2001, the pundits put their heads together and tried to make sense of why anyone would want to kill thousands of innocent people. They could only reach the conclusion that Osama Bin Laden and ...read more
