Making A Mountain Out Of A Molehill, Perspective

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 1, 2021

I had rather be an artist than an art critic. Do you have the great ability of taking molehills and making them mountains. We need an honest evaluation of our perspectives. Does the world define our thinking patterns?

Persecution - Are You Ready For It?

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 9, 2021

We in America do not have any real experience with religious persecution like we find in other countries. However, over the past decades we have seen reverence for the name of Jesus become mockery. What will we do when proclaiming Jesus becomes outlawed?

Sermon - God’s Instructions For Purposeful Living

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 11, 2025

Some people live on purpose and some just respond to what the world delivers. A “life of purpose” is not something you do or something you have automatically, it is choices that each of us make. Living a life of purpose guides all our choices and shapes the direction of our life.

Sermon # 40 - No Longer A Slave Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 30, 2025

God in His grace set us free from sin and the bondage to sin and has adopted us to be His sons and daughters. There are privileges and rights that are ours as children of God, and only when we fully comprehend this will be able to fulfill God’s purposes for our lives.

Today’s meditation is based on Galatians 4:7, “Now you are not slaves like before. You are God's children, and you will receive everything he promised his children.” (ERV) As Paul addressed the believers in the church at Galatia, he reminded them that they were no longer slaves. He prompted ...read more

What Is That To You? You Follow Me!

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 4, 2025

Peter had denied the Lord 3X. When the Lord told Peter how he would die, he wanted to know about John. Jesus said, "What is that to you? You follow Me!" We're looking at 4 things that distract us from following Jesus.

On Assignment, Not On Accident Series

Contributed by Todd Tenaglia on Jun 13, 2025

God has given us each specific gifts and resources. He expects us to live for the advancement of the Kingdom on earth. When we fail to do this, we are outside of His will and off assignment.
