To The Church Of The Namby Pamby

Contributed by Jeremy Long on Jul 19, 2025

If John could have seen the Church today when writing the Revelation, I think he wouldn't have been quite so biblically polite in the Letter he would send to it.

A feeling that God is pushing us to get things sorted quickly because His return is VERY SOON. Anyone else felt this? Felt the urgency of the church’s mission? Felt like ...read more

The Mystery Of Wickedness Series

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Apr 4, 2023

Since wickedness is a spirit, you cannot defeat them by physical means such as anger and physical aggression. They can only be defeated by superior spiritual means(God`s power).

Running On The Wrong Fuel: Life's Joy Robbers

Making Room

Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 8, 2001

This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".
