What Will Heaven Be Like? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 6, 2019

The Still Small Voice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at a situation in the life of Elijah in which he felt all alone. This account teaches us that God is with us, and He has our best interests in mind at all times, even though we may not immediately hear from Him.

How many of you have ever been through a difficult time in which you felt like God had abandoned you, or perhaps that He was nowhere to be found?

The Mountain Top Experience Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 25, 2020

Why did Jesus lead Peter, James and John up on the Mountain? And why would God make it so they could see Moses and Elijah speaking with Christ that day?

The story in our text today is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke and I believe it’s the source of the phrase “A Mountain Top Experience. So, over the past week I went searching for stories and quotes about Mountain top experiences, and I stumbled on this comment: “The Outing Club is hosting world ...read more

The Gaurdian Jehosheba Series

Contributed by Charles Payne on Oct 15, 2025

Sermon # 7 - Throw-Off, Rebuild, Unite Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 11, 2024

The call of God to the church today is to cast off everything that hinders us from reaching our destination, to rebuild the broken altars, and to work towards the unity of the body of Christ. The coming of the Lord is near and the church must be ready to receive the bridegroom.

ANy one brought up in the Jewish tradition knows its natural to compare the Spirt with the wind. Jesus used a ready illistration the night he spoke to Nicodemus.
