Trip With Out A Map Series

Contributed by Andrew Hart on Mar 10, 2020

What happens when you do not have a map for your faith journey?

What if we viewed our faith journey like a road trip? A few weeks ago, I was busily preparing for my journey to North Carolina. I programmed the destination in my GPS, fueled up the truck (yes, I said truck), checked where construction delays were, and of course made sure I had snacks and ...read more

Getting Out Of A Rut

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jul 10, 2018

Everyone has advice, but not many offer wisdom when it comes to getting out of a rut. What does the Lord say about it?

Getting out of a rut Prayer- Introduction- I want to talk about being in a rut and how to get out of a rut. You know the standing joke about being in a rut is to stop digging. But how do you do that?

Out Of The Salt Shaker

Contributed by Francis Balla on Jul 18, 2018

Some time back, our denomination’s District Executive minister wanted to get to know me, since I was a new minister in the region. He wanted to treat me to an authentic southern breakfast, so he took me out to a Cracker Barrell Country Store. He ordered “Grits.”

Teach, In Season And Out!

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Jul 22, 2017

Ezekiel was a dynamic and dramatic guy. Even though he was a great prophet/teacher/preacher, his words landed on deaf ears. I’ve been teaching Sunday school for over 30 years and there are times when I wonder if I’m even getting through to anyone.

Happy “Dramatic” Weekend, Everyone! There is so much drama today. Whether it is political or in Hollywood, or in the music world, or even in our own communities. Be it drugs or suicide or violence or anything else today. Goodness, some families have enough drama going on to keep the nosey gossips ...read more

Watch Out For The Mockers Series

Contributed by Pastor Norman Bailey, Overseer on Aug 8, 2018

We are living in the last of the last days and Satan is pulling out his best shot to defeat the people of God. He is using mockers, those who will belittle our faith and confidence in God. It is our position to stand against them and trust in God.

As we draw closer to the end of time we will find the forces of evil lead by Satan trying to deliver a death blow to the followers of Jesus Christ. It is important that we stay focused on what the Word of God says concerning the people of God. Mockers come with an aggressive and militant attack ...read more

Evangelism is one of those ...read more

In Season Or Out Of Season!

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Jul 28, 2017

We are not microwave cooks! We do not bring about “instant” Christians! We merely mix ingredients, and share receipts. In other words…We share the Gospel!

Happy “Speak-Up” Weekend, Everyone! Amos, an Old Testament book that we don’t spend much time in is where we will be studying this Sunday. Amos is called one of the “lesser” books of the Bible, not because it’s less important, but because it’s smaller. Amos, like Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, Micah, ...read more

Going All Out Series

Contributed by Monty Newton on Oct 8, 2017
