     | 5,515 views

    The rich man's sin was not his wealth, but his hard heart. Those who are rich have an obligation to help the poor. How we use what we have leads to God's judgment.

    The Pope, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts all died on the same day and arrived at the Pearly Gates at the same time. St. Peter said to them, "I have some bad news and some good news.

    Sermon - God’s Instructions For Purposeful Living

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 11, 2025
     | 926 views

    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 – God’s Instructions for Purposeful Living Scripture - Psalms 1:1-6 AMP, “Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat ...read more

    God leads through detours, dead ends, and dry holes to grow trust, display His power, and sweeten life’s bitterness by the cross.

    Introduction — The Long Way Home Good morning, friends. Please, open your Bible to Exodus 13. God’s people have just left Egypt. After four hundred years of slavery, they’re finally free.

    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.

    Sermon # 40 - No Longer A Slave Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 30, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 412 views

    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

    Be Bold And Courageous

     | 832 views

    As we go through the challenges of life our strength and courage to face them comes from God. On our part we are called to be strong and courageous to carry out the responsibilities God has entrusted to us, to live in obedience to God’s word knowing that God will never leave us or forsake us.

    Today’s meditation is taken from Joshua 1:6-9, Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn ...read more

    Our salvation from sin began with an argument between an angel and God Who created all things.

    “Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

    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.

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 16, 2023
     | 1,329 views

    Satan imitates a false resurrection, sends someone to act godly, performs fake miracles, and then demands humanity's worship. Why? Because he is so desperate to be accepted that he attempts the things of God to fool humanity.
