On The Sabbath Series

Contributed by Peter Baumgartle on Apr 5, 2022

ON THE SABBATH MATTHEW 12:1-2 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” Question: ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022

There is a very famous poster that has been on display for many years. It shows “Uncle Sam” pointing his finger at young men and women saying, “I want you!”

God’s church today desperately needs men and women, but did you know there are some people that the church would be better off if they did not have? WHY WOULD I MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT? Because God can use some men and women to bring many into the house of God. But also Satan can use some to drive ...read more

Easter & Mary Magdalene

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 12, 2022

It was early the Sunday morning of Jesus’ resurrection (John 20:1-18). That time of year, mornings could be a little chilly, so Mary probably wrapped herself up against the cool early air as she headed towards the garden tomb.

What Does Easter Mean To Me?

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Apr 16, 2022

Some say that Easter is a pagan holiday and should not be celebrated by Christians. The truth is, I never have celebrated the day. I celebrate that because Jesus got up from the dead, I can live also.

What does Easter mean to me? First of all, let's see what it means to the world. To the world Easter means money. Because the world turns everything  into a selling point. To the world Easter is about commercial gain. When you walk into the store around Easter, the whole stock changes. ...read more

The Presence Of God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 18, 2022

God hid Moses in the cleft of the rock and covered him there with his hand. Moses sees only the afterglow which God leaves behind him, but still, this suggests faintly what the full brilliance of His presence is.

Do you have too many irons in the fire? The expression too many irons in the fire originated from the blacksmithing trade. If a blacksmith had multiple irons in the fire at once, it cooled the fire and none of the pieces of iron would get hot enough. If the blacksmith had one iron in the fire it ...read more

Commissioned For Missions

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022

Commissioning Service: This message explores a significant ministry, as it looks at the "missionary call." To be discussed is the role played by God, and also the commitment required of the home church in the missionary’s support.

During the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940, Winston Churchill said of the brave men of the Royal Air Force, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” A similar statement could be made concerning the missionaries from our churches. Compared to the larger ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #5

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

We Christians recognize that we can do very little about the leadership in our government. If we could, we would have done something a long time ago.

Someone once said in humor, “We have the best politicians that money can buy!” But what is sad about this humor, is that many times when it comes to our public officials it is the truth. Sometimes I wish we could do to our politicians what a company did to a farmer. Illus: An elderly farmer ...read more

"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
