    There is a time to just trust God’s plan and close the book and go on withyour life.

    TRUST GOD AND CLOSE THE BOOK By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr.  Kyfingers@aol.com This is a lesson on CLOSE THE BOOK. It has some wisdom, but we need balance, some doors should never be closed.

    This is Part 6 of a series on the 23rd Psalm. This lesson is about how the Shepherd sometimes leads us through dark valleys.

    This week we are continuing our journey through the 23rd Psalm and looking at Psalm 23:4a-c, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for Thou art with me.” Let’s look now just as the first phrase… “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of ...read more

    Do you know what the ultimate idol is? Paul gives us some insight into this. We might not like the answer!

    The Ultimate Idol October 20, 2001 In life, we sometimes talk about what is ‘ultimate’ in many different fields. You might speak of the ultimate ice cream, or the ultimate chocolate. You might have a place, which is, for you, the ultimate restaurant, or have the ultimate dish that you enjoy. You ...read more

    The Ultimate Insult Series

    based on 90 ratings
     | 14,245 views

    People refuse to accept God’s authority. We don’t want to be tenants in God’s Vineyard. We want to be the owners.

    "Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!" You’ve no doubt heard that little rhyme, and you’ve probably even used it at times. When I was growing up it was the standard playground retort to an insult. But of course we all know that those words were simply a bluff. They had ...read more

    The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 74 ratings
     | 4,865 views

    The full significance of the Incarnation is only seen when its dark side is understood - in the Sign of a Sword to Mary’s heart, the Symbol of Myrrh as an offering from the wise men and the Sorrow of Rachael over her dead children.

    If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more

    The Amercian Soldier!

    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,128 views

    This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

    We throw around the term hero far to often these days. If a man can outrun a defender to score a touchdown, or if a person can slam dunk the ball we call them a hero. If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more

    Why do churches practise Baptism? From where does it come?

    Eighteen months after Leni and I were married we went on a bit of a world tour. We visited places that were important in our development as people.

    The Consolation Of Confession

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jun 28, 2004
    based on 35 ratings
     | 5,099 views

    It seems to be one of mankind’s innate flaws--the tendency to hide his sin and wrong. But concealing our sin solves nothing. Only by confession can we hope to experience inner peace and relief.

    THE CONSOLATION OF CONFESSION Text: I John 1: 9; Ps.32: 5 Intro: As you listened to that title you may have thought to yourself that the ideas of consolation and confession simply don’t go together. After all, we don’t normally think of confession in a positive light. The idea of ...read more

    Even though Jesus was made Higher than angels, He came to earth as a human, a form below, so that He would be a proper High Priest and atonement for our sins. Praise the Lord!

    "Above, Yet Made a Form Below" By Sterling Franklin Hebrews 1:1-5 - 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the ...read more

    Rizpah, though insignificant in status, proved to be the focus of two defining events in the life of God’s people. It is from her story I hope we can learn some valuable lessons!

    Introduction: Rizpah (Riz-puh) was a concubine of King Saul who had bore Saul two sons. She is, in one sense, a very insignificant character. As a concubine, she had very little status nor influential power. Concubines were considered as “secondary wives,” they were inferior to the ...read more
