    Jesus is our Jubilee. In Him, all debts are forgiven. In Him, all slaves are set free.

    The Always God Part 7 - Always Restoring Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Isaiah 61. We’ll start off there, but like we often do, we will end up in a different place than where we started, so you might want to go ahead and bookmark John 9 as well.

    What Should Really Matter In Life?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021
     | 3,729 views

    The Bible clearly reveals what was important to the Lord. And the things that were important to Him should also be important to us.

    But that is not the case for some folks. It is amazing what some people see as important. Illus: Clovis Chappell, a minister from a century back, used to tell the story of two paddle boats. They left Memphis about the same time, traveling down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. As they ...read more

    This is a message about freedom - how we have been made free in Jesus Christ.

    I Am Free Scripture: John 8:36; Galatians 5:1; Proverbs 3:5-6; Galatians 2:20 John 8:36 says, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” Galatians 5:1 says, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with ...read more

    Keep On Singing

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jul 4, 2021

     | 11,483 views

    People all over the world love to sing. It’s a mood lifter & anti-depressant with no side effects. Singing isn’t an option in Scripture. It’s a command. When we sing, we declare war against our adversary.

    “Keep on Singing.” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- If I can take us on a trip down memory lane for a minute and go back to the Disney Cartoon Movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs there is a famous song that says “Whistle While You Work” the Lyrics are - Just whistle while you work And ...read more

    Personalizing Easter Series

     | 2,738 views

    The Bible says you were/are spiritually dead. What does this mean? It means you have no spiritual energy to pursue God. You are spiritual DOA – you are dead on arrival in your spiritual life.

    Happy Palm Sunday to all of you! We celebrate the day Christ entered Jerusalem with shouts of Hosanna ringing in the air. As much as I admire Martin Luther King Jr., there are not even two people who gather every Sunday to celebrate him. But over one hundred million will gather together to ...read more

    Realistically Optimistic

     | 5,316 views

    According to Statista, a leading survey company, in 2013, 50% of adult Americans considered themselves optimistic. As we get ready to step into the new year, let's see if we can do something to shift our thinking to being realistically optimistic more often.

    REALISTICALLY OPTIMISTIC According to Statista, a leading survey company, in 2013, 50% of adult Americans considered themselves optimistic. Only 4% identified as pessimists and 43% said they were somewhere in between. 3% declined to identify as anything. I'm interested to know how often those ...read more

    Individual Responsibility

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,635 views

    This message looks at an excuse that the Israelites used for not serving the Lord. It was an excuse, which they hoped would exempt them from their own sins and their own individual responsibility; and the excuse was very shallow.

    To begin our message this evening I wish to share a story. “A farmer once asked his neighbor if he might borrow a rope. ‘Sorry,’ said the neighbor. ‘I’m using my rope to tie up my milk.’ ‘Rope can’t tie up milk,’ said the farmer. ‘I know,’ replied the neighbor, ‘but when a man doesn’t want to ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,739 views

    This Psalm of Ascent has its focus on Israel and the constant persecution it endured. We look at the role churches played in this persecution (and Martin Luther). History must NOT be eradicated but we need to learn from it.

    The Abomination of Desolation

    The Signs of the Times Pt. 3 Mark 13:14-23 The question I have been asked as a pastor. by far more than any other is, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” The Lord created man in His image as we read in Genesis 1:28.

    Anger Is A Threat To Self-Control (12th Sunday After Pentecost 2024)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 8, 2024
     | 944 views

    One of those weapons that Satan has used very well through all generations is “fits of anger” (see Galatians 5:20 ESV). I once read a sentence sermon that went like this: "He who angers you controls you".

    ANGER IS A THREAT TO SELF-CONTROL Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 Ephesians 4:25-32  So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another.  (26)  Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ...read more
