Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2023

Jew and Gentile must now come to God through faith and there can be no boasting. God’s grace leads to salvation. In becoming saved through grace, each one is justified because the just God justifies them. Only a just God can do that. No king on this earth can justify anyone.

Your Date With Destiny Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Sep 28, 2023

God designed a destiny for us, and how pleasurable to it to the heart of God when we embrace His ultimate and eternal plan for us. What is that destiny? The writer of Hebrews unfolds it before us.

What do you think about when you hear the word “destiny?” For Bob Cartwright, the word was a morbid word. On October 11th, 2006, Bob Cartwright was invited to join a pilot friend and New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle to see a playoff game between the Yankees and Detroit Tigers. Cartwright ...read more

The Door Of Opportunity Can Be Missed

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 5, 2023

What Kind Of Faith Saves? Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 27, 2021

Most of us know people who say they believe in Christ, and yet there is nothing about their lives that distinguishes from non-Christians otherwise? So what kind of faith actually saves?

What kind of faith saves? It’s an important question. It’s a critical question because we all know many people who say they believe in Jesus. But there’s virtually nothing in their lives that sets them out as any different from the non-Christian who lives next door. They neither attend church, ...read more

The Conquest: A House Of Cards? Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 1, 2021

The three "onlys" in Joshua 1 provide the tension that drives the plot of the book. Will Joshua be brave? Will the people obey? And will Yahweh be with Joshua, as He was with Moses?

Let's start this morning, simply by rereading from the beginning of Joshua through verse 9: (1) And then, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, Yahweh said to Joshua son of Nun, the one serving Moses, saying, "Moses my servant has died, and so then, Rise!, Cross! over this ...read more

The Great Depression # 4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2021

Last week, as we considered THE GREAT DEPRESSION, we dealt with the life of Elijah. He is the ideal person to study when you study the subject of depression.

WHY IS HE THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS STUDY? Because of what the Word of God says about him. Look at James 5:17, we read, "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are…" Elijah represents us in that - (1) HE HAD HIS HIGH DAYS He enjoyed the highest of highs. We Americans ...read more

The Free Gift Of Grace Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

People like presents, especially good ones that are useful, and that reveal how the giver put forth some thought into the purchase. In the Bible we are told of the best gift of all! “The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Everyone likes to receive presents; however, there are some we could probably live without. Christmas time is when the majority of gifts are given, and it seems to be the occasion when some of the worst ones are purchased during those last minute shopping trips. A survey was conducted in which ...read more

God Gives The Earth To Us (Joshua 10:29-11:23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

Joshua is systematically killing off the nephilim, so that God's people can inherit the land, and have true "rest."

If you walk up to a random Christian in church, and ask them what the book of Joshua is about, they will tell you it's about the conquest of the land God promised Israel. But consider this: we are almost through Joshua 10, and at this point in the book, Joshua has conquered three cities: ...read more

Setting Our Priorities Straight

Contributed by Esther Collins on Jan 21, 2022

We live in times when it's a challenge to keep our priorities straight. The Bible gives us great examples of those who were able to choose right, and also enjoy the consequences of their godly choices.

Also write down the number of hours you spend on any given day on these activities that are mentioned – time spent on eating, sleeping, studying, working, with family, ...read more

When The Romance Is Gone Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jun 22, 2022

At one point, Christy “staged” a wedding, first playing the role of the bride's mother who assigned specific duties, then suddenly becoming the bride with her “teddy bear” groom.
