Contributed by Elmer Towns on Nov 4, 2025

Why does the Lord send you into the storm?

“Therefore, when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone. Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, ...read more

Win The Day - Kiss The Wave Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 8, 2023

This sermon explores the concept of taking the first step of faith, using the story of Nahshon from the Exodus, who courageously led the Israelites forward even when there seemed to be no way.

There is a legend in Judaism about a man named Nahshon. He only gets one begat in the Bible. Of course, that’s one more than you and me! He is the great-great-great-grandfather of King David. He disappears almost as soon as he makes his debut, but Nahshon is credited with saving the nation of ...read more

Call Of Gideon Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Nov 19, 2019

Gideon responded positively to the initial conversation about God and God called him to save Israel from the Midianites, who oppressed them for 7 years.

Before we look at our main passage for today, open your Bibles to Hebrews 11 for a moment…. Look at verses 1-2…… and then we read the “ancients” men and women who lived by faith believing in what God said but actually doing it! Look at Hebrews 11:32-35…. God called Gideon a man of faith. Gideon, a ...read more

Sent, Not Settled Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 23, 2024

The early church, described in the book of Acts, was anything but comfortable. It was a church that was sent, not settled—a church that moved beyond the familiar to reach a world in desperate need of hope.

We are living in a time when comfort has become king. We love to settle down, get comfortable, and create spaces that are predictable and safe. We build churches with padded pews and air-conditioned sanctuaries, and we attend services that are carefully planned and well-executed. And yet, if we’re ...read more

I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

Inside the Heart of the Apostle Paul part 3 Acts 20:18-38 Most of us wear more than 1 hat, whether we get paid for it or not. You may have a career, but have a heart for other things.

When Thou Art Converted

The Verse

Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jul 17, 2004

This is about Jesus conversation with Nicodemus.

It is perhaps the best known verse of the Bible. Almost anyone can quote it, at least in paraphrase. It is the verse that every child learns in Sunday school and VBS. I remember making a little wall plaque in Bible school with the verse on it. I remember that 15 to 20 years ago, you would see ...read more
