    In Ephesians 5:15-17, God shows us through the Apostle Paul shows us how to use biblical wisdom to discover the will of God. He shows us how to discover this through: 1) Understanding (Ephesians 5:15), 2) Occasion (Ephesians 5:16), 3) Action (Ephesians 5:17).

    Ephesians 5:15-17 [15] Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, [16] making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

    I Am Called 'elohim' Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 9, 2020
     | 7,002 views

    The minute you open up the Bible it’s as if God has taken your face in His hands, is looking you in the eyes, and saying: “Read my lips … I am God … I am Elohim … I am the eternal Creator and Sustainer of Life who made you so that I can love you and you can love me.”

    Names … We all have them … be dumb if we didn’t, amen? You can’t go around saying “Hey you over there” all day. Names make sense … but how often do you think about your name … or names? And I do mean “names” plural … because we all have more than one name. For example, I have three names ...read more

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Dec 24, 2021
     | 2,760 views

    Since the King has Come and is coming again, the Apostle Paul presents four aspects of the Father’s exaltation of the Son: 1) The source (Philippians 2:9a), 2) The title (Philippians 2:9b), 3) The response (Philippians 2:10–11a), and 4) The purpose (Philippians 2:11b).

    Philippians 2:9–11. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ...read more

    Kind And Comforting Words Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,172 views

    The oracle given in Zechariah 1:12-17 is expounded. These comforting words are applicable to God's people today. We sometimes wonder when God will intervene in our behalf just as the Jews did in our text.

    Have you ever been treated unjustly and wondered why God seemed to ignore the oppression? When Babylon conquered Israel in 586 BC, they were extremely cruel to the captive Jews. Those Jews were experiencing God’s correction in their lives. But the Babylonians went way beyond that. They exacted an ...read more

    You can tell from the text of my sermon today I am going to preach about the tongue.

    Perhaps some are assuming the reason I am preaching on this subject is because some members in the church are mis-using their tongue in the church.

    In this exposition of Zechariah 9:10-17, we examine God's promise to exiled Jews and apply the promise to those in a spiritual prison today. There is deliverance in the name of Jesus!

    Intro In our last message we expounded Zechariah’s prophecy concerning the First Advent of Christ found in Zechariah 9:9: “Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
