Shepherd Of His Sheep

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021

Now I am not a chef, but I would imagine that if you were going to feed a group of chefs, you had better know something about cooking. Our Lord told Peter to, "feed My sheep.”

"The Puzzle Of The Be Attitudes”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 9, 2022

The Great Commission

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

This morning we are going to look at four separate passages on what is known among believers as The Great Commission. The Great Commission is all about missions, since the word “commission” contains the word “mission” in it. Now, that word “commission” means, “charge, order, or mandate.”(1) This ...read more

Mercy Instead Of Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life.

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Mar 9, 2025
