Sermon – The Neglected Vineyard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 27, 2024

The key takeaway from Song of Solomon 1:5-6 is that it does not matter what a person looks like on the outside, for true beauty is not found in physical features, but rather moral character and purity. Work on yourself more than for others.

Sermon: The Danger Of Deception Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 4, 2023

We live in an age where people want to appear one way but, they are just the opposite of their appearance. Hypocrisy pollutes worship. The most beautiful singing, the largest gift and the most radical praise can all be done with the wrong motive.

Colorful Marriages

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 6, 2019

I love a chocolate and vanilla twist soft yogurt cone. Mixing flavors can bring about a beautiful and tasteful marriage experience. Yet, you do not mix gas and oil or saved and unsaved or one sect with another without peril.

I saw an article on interracial marriage and since race has been a big issue in recent days I figured I would say just a bit on this topic. First of all, race as we use the term is really an evolutionary term and should not even be considered or used by believers. There are no races. There is but ...read more
