The Christian And His Money

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 7, 2022

Many times you think you know people until you deal with them concerning money.

Ask any landlord. He can tell you how many people have deceived him over and over again with their nice talk and appearance. The prospective renters may have looked like the most honest people ever, yet once they moved in they turned out to be some of the biggest "dead beats" in ...read more

One Day At A Time

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

We often feel that we can’t be happy until we are in the “perfect place,” or God’s “perfect will.” If we wait around for the perfect moment, then we could miss those truly perfect opportunities. The perfect moment to serve is right now.

I have entitled our message for this morning “One Day at a Time.” What I am going to share has to do with understanding God’s will for our life, and this is a subject matter that concerns each of us as believers. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more

Caring For Widows Series

One More For Jesus

Contributed by Imelda Mesa on Sep 27, 2022

We are in the world for the world and in our mouths is the Word of God that people need to hear and understand while there is time.

Over the last 3 Sundays, we have been preaching about the kingdom of God. In the New Testament, the Kingdom of God is viewed as apocalyptic (describing or prophesying the complete destruction of the world) and eschatological. Jesus is King in a spiritual sense, and His Kingdom is here. It belongs ...read more

Abishai Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 4, 2022

Abishai proved his loyalty to David on several occasions; the most notable one was toward the end of David’s reign when he saved his life.

Judah, His Failures And His Future Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 29, 2022

Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. He failed, several times, but God forgave him and gave him a future to be proud of.

Introduction: Each of Jacob’s twelve sons was different from the others. That goes without saying, as any parent of more than one child will probably agree! Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah and his name is related to the Hebrew word for “praise (Gen. 29:35)”. Some of his deeds might have ...read more

What Is It Going To Be - Abiding Or Blacksliding? 1 John 2 V 28-29 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

It’s sad Christians live deficient lives when God has supplied all that's needed. Some say they have no direction; don't feel like partaking of spiritual things; careless about their walk. The problem often is the neglect of Godly resources - the word of God, prayer, and fellowship.

MESSAGE – WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE - ABIDING OR BLACKSLIDING? 1 John 2 v 28-29 1John 2 v 28 Now, little children, abide in Him so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 1John 2 v 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone ...read more

The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

MESSAGE – THE TWO PILLARS OF GODLY SUPPORT: BELIEF AND LOVE - 1John 3:23 We will be looking at a verse in the first letter of John but just to place it into context we will look at 4 verses – {{1 John 3 v 21-24, but it is verse 23 that is our focus. 1John 3 v 21 “Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more

Holding On To Hope Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Aug 15, 2022

To get through your groaning, focus on the glory to come.

Some time ago, George Barna polled adults: “If you could ask God one question, what would you ask?” The top response was, “Why is there pain and suffering in the world?” I can’t think of anything more universal to the human experience than suffering. In fact, many people point to the problem of ...read more

A Conversation With A Rich Young Man

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022

Have you noticed that most of our conversations are with people that are in the same age bracket we are in?

There is an obvious reason for that, we generally talk to people our own age because we feel that we have something in common with them. For example, I can listen to young people talk and they are talking about singers, athletes and entertainers I never heard of. So naturally, if they want to ...read more
