“Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’ They answered him, ‘We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, “You will become ...read more

What Are We Eating?

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 6, 2011

We are to be obedient to the Lord and to tell others the Good News. But we can do neither unless we understand the Lord’s Word, and we cannot understand that unless we read it and unless are taught it in our churches. So, what do you think? Are we

Today, I want to talk about what we are eating. Let me rephrase that; what are we being fed? I want to talk this morning about the plight of the American church.

A Word Of Praise (The Doxology)

Contributed by Larry Grant on Aug 22, 2021

Jude sounds a warning of danger and he issues a call to action. He calls on the Called, the Beloved, the Kept for Jesus Christ to "earnestly contend for the faith".

A doxology is a short prayer or hymn of praise that extols the glory and majesty of God. Originally Jude (the brother of Jesus) planned to write about the "common salvation" V3 of the Brethren, but God changed his direction. God wanted us to know the reality and the danger of ungodly ...read more

The Rapture Theory Debunked

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 23, 2014

The Rapture Theory has been adopted by many Christians as being sound doctrine. In this study, we examine the subject by noting that this subject was created by taking texts out of context and ignoring plain statements of Scripture.

The Rapture Theory claims, in short, that the Lord will come secretly to resurrect only faithful Christians before the coming of the “Great Tribulation” on the Earth. After the seven years of Tribulation on the Earth, all people will be resurrected and brought before the Judgment Seat ...read more

Sermon On A Distant Voice

Contributed by William Meakin on Dec 11, 2025

A "distant voice" often correlates to a sound heard from a far-off location, which is faint or unclear due to the distance involved.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, an American poet once remarked: “Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.” ...read more
