The Power Of Unity

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Mar 24, 2018

Unity we hear about, we talk about it, but without it we will never achieve by ourselves what can be achieved through it. It takes unity to possess our inheritance. This sermon looks at important principles in possessing our promises.

The Devil In The "isms"

Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Oct 10, 2020

If we are to be successful as Christians, and as a local church, we must educate ourselves about satan’s evil purposes. I want to talk about satan’s influence in and through the “isms” of the world.

Making A Difference 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 28, 2022

Notice these words, “And of some have compassion MAKING A DIFFERENCE…”

Do We Need To Wake Up Our Spiritual Life?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022

Have we fallen asleep spiritually? God is calling us to wake up, so what are we to do?

In verses 1-5: Despite the fact that God had spoken straightforwardly and perceptibly with Moses and Joshua, God’s Word had become uncommon during the three centuries of rule by judges.

Living Out The Gospel: Lessons From Titus

Contributed by Ronald Moore on Nov 14, 2023

The Apostle Paul, writing to Titus, outlines the qualities of those who are to lead with integrity and humility. In our Anglican tradition, we recognize the importance of bishops, priests, and deacons embodying these virtues.

Do Your Best To Be Your Best

They realized they are in training for the ministry and they want to be used by the Lord and get all the experience they can get. • Some students that are not sincere are very content to find a church ...read more

The Solemnity Of The Most Holy Trinity

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 7, 2023

In Latin: Esse deus dare: To be God is to give.
