Die Entschlafenen

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025

Death is sacred sleep in Christ; counterfeit awakenings deceive, but the true resurrection will come when Jesus calls every sleeper by name.

There are certain moments in life that are so quiet, so still, so unexpectedly tender that they seem to slow the entire world. Not dramatic moments. Not tragic ones. Just the moments when evening settles over the house and everything finally stops moving. When the phone stops buzzing. When the ...read more

Being Concerned For Others

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 30, 2023

People are hurting, depressed, confused, messed up, strung out, suicidal, emasculated, crushed, rejected, and so on they are not worried about how much you shout, speak in tongues, the robe you have, your title, position, they just want to know that you are concerned and are willing to help them.

Maughmer, Jr. Especially over the past 6 years I have dealt with the topic of leaving religion and coming into Kingdom, being Kingdom minded and doing the purpose of Kingdom and not being hindered, bound, or mislead by religion, customs, doctrines of ...read more

Rising To The Next Level

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Jan 30, 2023

This sermon looks at how little things can keep us from moving to a higher level in life and in God. It looks at Achan and his actions at Jericho. Selfishness and greed will hurt those we love.

A Blessing To Tithe

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

Many of us are afraid to tithe, because we feel that we have too many financial obligations to spare anything. But, did you know that the Bible teaches that both our financial troubles and our daily trials will lessen or cease if we tithe?

Money can be a very frustrating thing, because you just never seem to have enough of it. Right? Comedian Bob Phillips says, “Money used to talk – then it whispered. Now it just sneaks off . . . [and] today a dollar saved is a quarter earned . . . [and] the economy is [just] terrible [right now]. ...read more

When God Says "No”!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

One of the many things we take for granted each day is our God-given ability to be able to communicate with each other. But sometimes the words we use get us in a lot of trouble.

Illus: This reminds us of the young male clerk who was working at a department store's fabric counter. A very pretty girl said to the young male clerk, "I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much will this fabric cost?" He smilingly said, "Only a kiss a ...read more

When We Make A Mess Of Our Lives…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

An extraordinary thing has happened in this passage of Scripture concerning Jacob.

Sometimes when we get together with others and they tell us of some unusual thing that has happened to them, we feel almost compelled to share some unusual thing that has happened to us. Illus: For example, little Johnny was talking to a couple of boys in the school yard. Each was bragging about ...read more

Wait For The Vision

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 21, 2022

This message looks at the topic of delayed visions, and attempts to understand why it might be taking so long for a vision to manifest or be fulfilled. When God shares a vision, we need to have patience and endurance, and walk by faith.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with aviation. Well, one evening, when I was about ten-years-old, I was outside walking on the family farm; and off in the distance, I saw a hot air balloon about a mile away. I had high hopes that it would move towards the farm and land, but that was wishful ...read more

Wednesday - An Extravagant Giver And A Ruthless Taker Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 21, 2022

These two stories of the extravagant giver and the ruthless taker are excellent examples of what we should and should not be. Both people were very close to Jesus, but ended up having very different reactions to him. Jesus loved them both in spite of what they did to Him.

A. We might oversimplify things by saying that the world is made up of two kinds of people: givers and takers, but there is some truth to that statement. B. I love hearing stories about big tippers and I try to be a good tipper myself. 1. A man named Greg Rubar was a waiter at D'Amico’s ...read more

Be Your Own Boss!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Most Americans work and much of their life is controlled by someone else. There certainly is nothing wrong with that. This country could not operate unless people were willing to fill the jobs that are needed.

Some jobs require a lot from folks who apply for them. It is essential to find qualified people to fill these jobs. Illus: A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Two men and a woman applied for this job. The day came for the final test to see which person would get ...read more

The Reluctant Prophet 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

In Exodus, chapter 3, when God called Moses to do something great for Him, how did Moses respond? He was very reluctant!

Look at Exodus 3:1-9, we read, “Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: ...read more
