The Lord Is My Banner Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 19, 2022

Is the Lord your banner? Is he the rallying point in your life? We are victorious only to the extent God is our banner. There will be no victory in our own strength. Nothing is too great that cannot be overcome when God is our banner.

Have you ever stopped to think about, what is a flag? It is more than a cloth design hanging on a pole. A flag means more than that for many people. It can represent national pride and patriotism. As we study the character of God we study the name of God Jehovah-Nissi. The Lord is my banner, or ...read more

Lord, Is It I?

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 2, 2021

When Jesus announces a traitor amongst them, all the Disciples answer "Lord, is it I?" A Good Friday message on betrayal and the dynamics taking place within the Upper Room.

Responding To Disappointments: A Star And A Stable (Epiphany)

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020

Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

Stars and a Stable: Responding to Disappointments One of my closest friends loves UGA! He’s a graduate and a dedicated football loyalist. Now let’s not question his Christianity just yet. He has a saying, "When I die, make sure you chant the Eucharist at my funeral mass. And make sure the ...read more

The Marriage Of The Lamb Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Sep 12, 2021

Years ago Pastor Alan Carr preached “A Marriage made in Heaven” where he talked about the marriage of the Lord Jesus as the catalyst for Heaven’s anthems of praise. Those in Heaven lift their voices in four “Hallelujah’s” (4 Specific praises to God)!

We have arrived at an exciting portion of the Bible. After the dark, dreary chapters from 6 to 18 these verses gleam with the glory of Heaven. We are going to talk about the marriage super of the Lamb. You see, for the church, the end times shape up like this: In the Rapture, we will be Caught Up; ...read more

Wrestling With God October 2023

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 1, 2023

We might think of It as odd that Jacob was involved in a wrestling match with an unspecified person. ….. Was it an another human, his brother Esau, an angel or even God appearing in the form of this wrestling opponent?
