    The following sermon is going to review the prophet Micah's predication of the Messiah so that we might see the babe lying in the manger to give us great hope that our Lord, Savior and King is none other than our Messiah!

    What Child is This? Micah 5:1-5 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Zion’s Distress When King Herod gathered the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law and asked where the Messiah was to be born (Matthew 2:3-6) they quoted the Messianic prophesy of Micah 5:2: “but ...read more

    …the Good Hand Of His God Upon Him

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021
     | 3,874 views

    Today in this sermon, we want to turn our attention to a very special man. His name is Ezra. He is one of those fellows you do not hear a great deal about, but yet he was a giant among men in the spiritual world.

    Ezra was a priest, but he was not able to serve in the temple because the temple had been destroyed. This could be why we do not hear a lot about Ezra. He was not a temple priest. Ezra is noted for other things, such as: • He studied the Word of God. In Ezra 7:6, we read that he was, “A ready ...read more

    Preaching From Philippians #3

     | 1,752 views

    In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.

    When he wrote to the Philippian church, he was in prison. In prison he knew that he faced a capital crime and that he might be executed. If you were in prison and you thought that you might die, what kind of letter would you write? We do not have to guess at what kind of letter the Apostle Paul ...read more

    The story of the prophet of Judah & the old lying prophet is one of the weirdest passages in Scripture, but is filled with miracles and lessons. We see 4 amazing things, the main lesson, and look at the hidden symbolism pointing to Christ.

    What Jesus tells Peter says a lot about each of us. There may have been a time when we did pretty much as we pleased, but the time comes when that is no longer the case.

    Alba 5-23-2021 JESUS SAYS, FOLLOW ME John 21:18-24 I was looking at actuarial tables the other day. They predict that for a child born this year life expectatancy for a male is 75 years.

     | 8,190 views

    The Holy Ghost is God’s gift for each and everyone. It is Grace which is God’s unmerited favor given. We don’t deserve it, but He freely gives to each of us. God does not have respecter of person, so it isn’t just given to the good or super spiritual. It is for everyone.

    Wilfulness is sin on a mission and Lot edged closer and closer. The world holds attractions for people, like the fishing spider that dangles a blob on the end of strands of web to allure its victims and pounces. Sodom was alluring Lot and about to pounce.
