Living In The Kingdom Part 12 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Feb 4, 2022

In this message we examine what Jesus said about how we should treat our enemies. This follows what we covered last week where Jesus talked about how we should be willing to turn the other cheek. To be a part of His kingdom, we must learn to love our enemies.

Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

True Biblical Prosperity

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

Prosperity is not based on what we possess but on who we are inside, or who we are spiritually. Prosperity is not determined by a lack of hard times, but by how we handle tough situations; by whether or not we maintain our joy.

I have entitled our message this evening “True Biblical Prosperity.” If there is “true” biblical teaching on prosperity, then there must also be “false” teaching. Therefore, I am going to briefly address the false teaching that’s out there, and then point out what the Bible defines as true ...read more

The Sons Of God: An Introduction (Psalm 82:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2022

In the OT, the "sons of God" are God's heavenly family, given authority over the nations of the earth (Deuteronomy 32:8-9). An introduction to who they are, and where they went wrong.

For maybe four or five weeks, we are going to take a break from the gospel of John, and start a new mini-series calls "Sons of God." My guess is that everything you hear this morning is going to be new to you. And you aren't going to know what to do with it, or how to handle it. ...read more

Death Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Feb 16, 2022

We can follow the thoughts in Ecclesiastes 1-12 and we be fearful of death or unsettled by it and unnaturally hold onto this physical life or we can realize there is a better way… a wiser way… that takes into account fearing God and our relationship with Him.

31) Why Share The Gospel! Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

True believers have always been called to share the Gospel - but why? Today we look at four reasons through the Scriptures: 1) Jesus Did It; 2) The Disciples Did It; 3) Paul Did It; and 4) We Are Told To Do It.

Wanting What You Get Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jun 29, 2022

If you want to be truly content, keep the status you had when God called you. Just fulfill God’s calling in that place, follow God’s commands, and be free under God’s control. Because it’s not place, race, or face that matter. It is only your commitment to Christ.

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived with his wife, two small children, and his elderly parents in a tiny hut. He tried to be patient and gracious, but the noise and crowded conditions wore him down. In desperation, he consulted the village wise man. “Do you have a rooster?” asked the wise ...read more

As The King Goes, We Go (Psalm 20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 1, 2022

3 different applications: what do we trust in, how to view our leaders, and what it means that Jesus is our King.

Today we have the privilege of working through Psalm 20. This psalm is a little different from most that we've studied so far. The only one sort of like it, up to this point, is Psalm 2. This is a song that would've sung by the congregation-- by Israel-- for its Davidic king. Picture ...read more

What The Bible Teaches About Cremation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 28, 2021

The purpose of this course is to make today’s Christian think about some of the things we are facing in our society as Christians. Christian people should be “thinking” people when it comes to the issues we face in our society.

For example, as Christians: • We can not allow others to do our thinking for us when it comes to deciding what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. • We can not just ignore these issues we face and hope they will go away. Through the ages of time, God’s people have had to face difficult situations in ...read more
