    Who will give the world’s most expensive Christmas gift this year? What will it be, and how much will it cost? Will it be given by a king or prince or billionaire? No one knows, of course, but we do know about the world’s most costly gift — a gift with

    Truth is a rarity, but that’s only part of what makes it so valuable. You must make Truth your own, value it, defend it, stand for it, and protect it at all costs.

    Don’t Sell Out By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Truth is a rarity, but that’s only part of what makes it so valuable. Truth aligns with what is real; it reflects God’s character; it guides us through life. Once we possess TRUTH, no amount of rationalizing, mocking, or threatening ...read more

    Many times winning at all costs is the mantra that we live by. But Jesus challenges us to become like a child - what does that mean, really, and how does it help God rescue us?

    Why is it that we always measure everything by who the best at it or who’s the richest or most popular or highest ranking or most powerful? Every year we have lists and competitions and contests to determine these things – the Super Bowl, the NBA playoffs, the Forbes list of the richest Americans, ...read more

    Doing things the smart way don’t cost half as much as doing things the dumb way. Just as the children of Israel. Best lessons are learned while in the wilderness. Let’s see why!

    Introduction There’s an old saying and I wished I knew who to give the credit to but it goes like this, "Doing things the smart way don’t cost half as much as doing things the dumb way!" How true. Just ask the children of Israel. How long did you say it took them to reach the promised land, Oh ...read more

     | 5,995 views

    As we consider the risks in following Christ, we need to acknowledge that He is the Christ headed for the cross; therefore, it will cost to follow Him, but the risk is worth it, because being with Christ is the only way to live!

    A man named Fred inherited a huge land grant, but the will provided that he could choose land in either Chile or Brazil. He chose Brazil.

    Avoid them by any means necessary! They drive up the cost. The dreaded “middle man”! However, there is one “middle man” that you can’t afford to bypass.

    “Middle-Man” Text: Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing. I. ...read more

     | 9,717 views

    To be a follower of Christ is almost certain to be costly. Many turn from following Christ because they fear what it may cost. They are willing to be religious, but hesitate to embrace discipleship. We are called to embrace dangerous discipleship.

    “When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So, the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and ...read more

    The Church of Smyrna was commended for its loyalty to Christ even though it cost many their lives. Would we be willing to give up our lives if Christ called us to do so - to be loyal to Him

    The gift of Friendship, brotherhood has a cost. Consider the word: WITH. Ministry involves being WITH people. Can we agree to be together? WITH? I WANT TO BE WITH GOD... BUT I ALSO DESIRE FOR GOD TO BE WITH ME.

    "i Will Proclaim The Truth" Series

     | 2,806 views

    The Bible says that both people and society will grow more wicked as the time approaches for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The preacher is to face this with the soul-convicting, life transforming power of the Word and Spirit, no matter the cost.

    Anyone who makes the ridiculous statement that the Bible is merely a human book, and nothing more than a collection of inspiring stories has let others do their thinking for them, mimicking someone else's skepticism, or have claimed to have read it to end up condemning what it says about the ...read more

     | 159 views

    Our words and promises carry deep consequences; God calls us to speak carefully, obey courageously, and trust His grace even when we fail.

    Friend, your words carry weight. Promises shape people. Vows mark moments. We know the power of a whispered “I do,” the gravity of “I’ll be there,” and the ache of “I’m sorry.” Words can build bridges, and words can burn them. Have you ever wished you could take a sentence back? Have you ever felt ...read more
