We Need A New Thing 2nd Kings 2:19-21

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Nov 12, 2021

God is looking to move us forward, when we keep trying to go backwards.

We find here an amazing part of history. It is the story of two things happening. One Elijah being taken up into glory on one of God’s fiery chariots, and secondly we see the transferences of power and authority from one generation to the next generation. Here God is unmistakably teaching a lesson ...read more

The Curse Of Sin - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 17, 2021

Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

Thanksgiving Grace

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Nov 28, 2021

This Sunday we’ll be looking at how we are to “Say Grace.” While we look at the giving of blessings for the food that we eat, saying grace is so much more, which in turn should literally change the way we thank God for what He has so graciously given.

Thanksgiving Grace Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RduI0CrSBJA As I approached today’s message, I really didn’t know what the Lord wanted me to talk about.

Construction Site Or Warzone?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 25, 2021

God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. Any church that rebuilds becomes a construction site, which is a warzone for spiritual battle. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

Last week I mentioned how I believe that God is calling us to rebuild our fellowship after a series of setbacks. This means that our church is currently sitting smack dab in the middle of a spiritual construction site. I remember how I once pastored a church where we built a multipurpose ...read more
