Dealing With Problems In Life

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

The war in Iraq is a war that will go down in the history books because the Americans defeated a brutal dictator and his regime, and helped this Islamic nation gain their freedom to form a democracy.

Thousands and thousands of lives have been destroyed in bringing about this democracy. But the price of freedom is always high. Many feel the reasons for invading Iraq and going to war with Saddam Hussein are justified. There are those, however, who accuse the President for going to war for ...read more

Walls

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 4, 2022

The greatest wall that sin erected was a wall between us and God. Our relationship with God was bricked off and blocked and there was nothing we could ever do on our own to tear one brick out of that wall.

TITLE: WALLS SCRIPTURE: JOSHUA 6:1-5 (Some text used from Rev. Shawn Drake message and expanded upon) The narrative of Joshua leading the Israelites to bring down the walls of Jericho is a powerful account that demonstrates the faithfulness and might of the lord.

Fourth Commandment (4 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In Romans 12:2 we read, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It seems that one of the easiest things in this world to do is follow the crowd and let others do our thinking for us. The lost world is convinced we are so dumb we can not think for ourselves. For example, we cannot even listen to the president of the United States address this nation on ...read more

We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 28, 2023

WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 3 This is a series where we examine some means by which Satan has made inroads into human activity. It might be surprising to hear that we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices, but the bible says that, and this is an attempt to explore that ...read more

Immanuel: The Greatest Christmas Gift We Never Asked For

God Provides Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 18, 2022

We’ve been going through a series of your favorite verses. Our ministers that meet from lunch surveyed their churches and posted on Facebook to find out people’s favorite verses from which to preach.

Why Does The World Hate Us?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 24, 2022

One of the things that confuses many Christians is the attitude of non-Christians toward them. Even in the United States we experience backlash against us as Christians.

A Square Inch Of Hell Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 7, 2022

Why did Jesus talk so much about hell? It's not a real popular topic even today and its hard to think it would have been then. What possible reason would Jesus have for stressing it during His ministry?

OPEN: There’s a small town in Michigan, about 60 miles west of Detroit. It’s a small community of about 80 people, and the name of this little town is (pause) Hell... Hell, Michigan. It always seems to make the news during the winter time, when newspapers joke about HELL FREEZING OVER. They ...read more
