The Pleasure Of Positive Thinking Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Positive thinking does not mean, if you always think positive nothing will ever go wrong. That is wishful thinking, and it won't work. Positive thinking is telling yourself that even when things do go wrong, that is never the last word.

Have you ever watched a movie or play that ended with some basic problems unresolved? It is a great let down, for we expect that no matter how bad the situation is the bottom line will be a happy ending. We are conditioned to this. It is a part of our heritage through our fairy tales, novels, ...read more

A Non-Repayable Debt Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

All people owe a non-repayable debt to the Lord. If He dismisses our debt, then we should extend the same courtesy to any of our debtors. If Jesus forgives us; we should forgive others. Our debt is forgiven through faith in Christ.

I have entitled our message this evening “A Non-repayable Debt,” and we will be looking at what is commonly called, “The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant.” “John Oglethorpe, in talking to John Wesley, once made the comment, ‘I never forgive.’ Mr. Wesley replied, ‘Then, Sir, I hope that you ...read more

Who Can And Cannot Be Saved

The scripture says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Hawkins, who is with GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, asks, “At the end of your life will you be considered a hoarder or a steward?”(1) We’re going to look at a parable this morning; one which is ...read more
