At its core, the second commandment is a prohibition against creating something with your hands or your heart that either reduces or replaces God.

In one of our previous churches, one of our members was transferred to another community, and before leaving, he wanted to donate something significant to the church.

Sheep Amongst The Wolves

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jan 19, 2010

The environment in which we find ourselves is a very hostile one. The Bible does not use kind words to describe it. The Bible talks about the environment being filled with serpents, scorpions, lions, foxes and all kinds of terrible creatures.

SHEEP AMONGST THE WOLVES Dr. D. K. Olukoya Sheep amongst the wolves is the title of our message for this week. Matthew 10: 16 says, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” ln this passage, Jesus is warning us ...read more

Measure Upon Measure – Curse – The Restoration Of God - Part 5 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 28, 2025

Sin produces cursing. Through the Fall in the garden of Eden, the serpent was cursed. Then the ground and creation was cursed. That is why life is so difficult in many ways. We trace that theme. Then the Law of Moses cursed the keeper, but Christ became a curse for sinners.

MEASURE UPON MEASURE – CURSE – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 5 CHAPTER THREE - THE THIRD CONSEQUENCE The third CONSEQUENCE of man’s sin through the fall has resulted in a vast array of problems on this earth. It is bordering on the impossible with our confinement to the present world ...read more

What Movie Is Playing In Your Mind?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 15, 2017

What we see in our minds is critical to our ability to walk in this life as Jesus did when He was on earth. But far too many of us allow "movies" to play that should be deleted.

An article in a recent USA Today reported that in an online survey of 1000 adults, “three-quarters of Americans believe the country was better off in the ‘80s than now.” What is noteworthy about the poll is that some who answered in the affirmative weren’t even alive during the 1980s. Isn’t that ...read more

Dealing With Lust In Your Heart

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 8, 2025

In the Garden of Eden, our first parents messed up grievously. They heard the voice of God telling them what to do to care for this earth, and what not to do, and then they listened not to the loving voice of God, but the envious voice of the Horrible Serpent, Satan, our adversary.

Friday of the 10th Week in Course 2025 I suspect that I’m not the only one here today who has ever felt trapped in a deep well, a hole that has no way out. Perhaps your whole family has been in such a trap, and you have gotten to the limit of your power to get them out. Like the psalmist, you are ...read more

Sermon – A Proper Response To The Seasons Of Life

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 16, 2024

The Bible does not explain why violence and tragedies are a part of our world. We are not told why there was a serpent in the garden of Eden. We never told why bad things happen to good people. Yet men often speculate about the subject and are often wrong in their conclusions.

Sermon – A Proper Response to the Seasons of Life Luke 13:1-9 “About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple. “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. ...read more

A Green Christmas Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 6, 2009

The Green decorations of Christmas speak of the promise of life in a season of barren trees and gloomy skies. The birth of Christ also speaks of that promise.
