Unity Through Prayer

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023

I love it when someone calls me or texts me asking me questions about God’s Word. I don’t know all the answers, but I know the One who does! When I get these questions, it helps me grow. I believe it impossible for a church to grow, if the pastor and congregation are not growing in Christ!

Years ago, when Lisa and I joined a church that had just started, I invited some friends to church. They came, and one of them said “now that’s my kind of sermon, 13 minutes long”. Well, it wasn’t the short sermon that hooked him, because they never returned. Today may be the shortest sermon you ...read more

The Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1: A Second Helping

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 22, 2022

One of the first sermons I wrote and posted for this site dealt with the scientific brilliance found in the first chapter of Genesis. There are other scientific standards found in this opening chapter of the inerrant and all-sufficient Word of God, and they are worth exploring and affirming.

When I read the first chapter of Genesis, I do not see the development of an ancient myth or legend. I do not see the fruit of an overactive imagination of an anonymous sage trying to explain to his "backward" clan or tribe of how they came to be. I do not see any collection of ...read more

Passing Through

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jun 5, 2022

Today we look at another Deacon who never identifies himself as a Deacon; We must consider this Evangelist who never identifies himself as a Preacher; the bible says of him only that he was filled with the Holy Ghost and today that he is just passing through!

"the Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1:1"

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 2, 2021

When we stop to meditate on the first verse of Holy Scripture, we see not only the majesty and power of Almighty God in action, but if we look deeper, we also see the beginnings of scientific thought and the real explanation for the origin of life and the universe.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1, KJV). Consider for a moment how solemn, powerful and wondrous these opening words of Holy Scripture are. They present the work, thought, and exactness of Almighty God. You are probably saying to yourself, ...read more
