     | 1,003 views

    I have been accused of a lot of things, and a thankfully a Christian is one of them. Do you bear the characteristics, the marks of a Christian? You can.

    A church visitor went to a home, a man came tot the door. “Are you a member of any church?” “Oh yes, I do belong to a church. I have for many years. I joined before I was married.” The wife spoke up. Imagine that married 20 years, this is the first time. I knew that he belonged to a church. If you ...read more

    Hearing Problems

    Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

    This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it. I can just hear the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest, can’t you? like a bunch of little boys bragging in the playground at recess, or kids ...read more

    If We Ever Needed To See God

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 7, 2021
     | 3,983 views

    We face trying times. This is no time to be afraid or be ashamed. But we cannot do this in ourselves. We need to see a vision of God.

    When We Really Need to See God Mark 9:2-9 Transfiguration Sunday comes every year just before Ash Wednesday. There are only three Gospel texts which tell about the Transfiguration, so it becomes a challenge to repeat a story we have heard so many times. The accounts are quite similar. Luke adds ...read more

    Do You Have Americanitis? (“Be Still And Know That I Am God”)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 4, 2023
     | 3,113 views

    These eight words in the scriptures that I just read to you are some of the most important words in the scriptures for us Christians.

    Why? Because this verse of scripture tells us to BE STILL and then it tells us why we should be still…to KNOW GOD. Some people live their entire life KNOWING THERE IS A GOD BUT NOT KNOWING GOD. I want to ask you a question, DO YOU KNOW GOD? You might say preacher that is the most RIDICULOUS ...read more

    This series looks at the various "Fear Nots" in the Christmas story. It begins with Garbriel's admonintion to Zechariah to not be afraid.

    Fear and Christmas aren’t words that I would think go together. Maybe Halloween and Fear, or birthdays and fear. But Christmas and fear? I mean, really what is there to fear about Christmas? Well, according to those in the know there is plenty to fear about Christmas. If you are selaphobic, ...read more

    Vigilance is very essential in these last days. The Bible says, “Be sober.” That is, “be quiet,” “be calculative,” “have a sound mind,” “be humble,” “be attentive,” “be careful.”

    REARRANGING THE PROBLEM Dr. D. K. Olukoya Judges7: 1-7says,“Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

    Story Of Faith

     | 6,171 views

    A Christian's life is based on faith. Even the Apostles lacked it at times. This is hard to understand since they were eyewitnesses. We all have evidence that Jesus works in our lives today so when our faith is weak we are no different than them!

    Story of Faith I. Matt. 14:22-33/Mk. 6:30-52/Luke 9:10-17/Jo. 6:1-15 A. Prelude to The Story 1. Prior to Jesus coming to His own hometown Mark tells us He had cast out the demon, Legion and raised a little girl from the dead. Upon arrival to Nazareth He teaches in the ...read more
