    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Oct 19, 2015
     | 5,235 views

    One man's attempt to unravel the Scriptural reasons for suffering, especially the suffering of the people of God. Not an easy task.

    SUFFERING, per the BIBLE Another man’s attempt to figure it out… It’s not as easy as we are led to believe. We get sick and right away someone tells us we are being judged of God. Maybe. Another person gets sick, and he is told there is no spiritual significance to the illness. ...read more

     | 7,742 views

    Today's sermon takes it's cue from the terrorist event of 9-11. It looks at what we as believers are to take away from this event to live fruitful and effective lives. We'll look at our need then to trust in God, His purposes and promises.

    When Terror Strikes Fifteen years ago on September 11, there were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States by al-Qaeda, an Islamic terrorist group. Almost 3,000 people were killed and over 6,000 injured. Four commercial airliners were hijacked. Two of them slammed ...read more

    We are to honor authority, relationships, and God. In return we will receive honor.

    Romans 13:7 “Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.” Honor. I am not sure we understand the meaning of the word. A pastor visiting Korea for the first time asked for ...read more

    The Apostle Paul writes a letter to the Philippian while under house arrest chained to two Romans guards around the clock. He may also be executed for his faith in Jesus as the Christ. Yet, through it all, Paul is able to rejoice.

    A. Philippians 4:4-8 (READ) 1. Today we begin a series of lessons corresponding with our Small Group Study entitled: “ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING” based on the book by Max Lucado, who based his book on this passage. 2.

    The apostle Paul wrote a personal letter to a man named Philemon who had been wronged by his servant named Onesimus whom had, it is widely believed, stolen money from him and then ran away to Rome.

    A. We live in a WORLD where it’s so easy to become CALLUSED and INDIFFERENT. 1. We are bombarded daily with news of TRAGEDIES, VIOLENT ACTS, and SUFFERING PEOPLE.

    Sermon # 5 - How Can We Be Saved? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 6, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,818 views

    Do you want to be saved and be sure that eternal life is yours? As we look at the Parable of the Good Samaritan in different light, we will receive an answer to that question.

    We read in Acts 2:47, “every day the Lord was adding to their number those being saved.” (TLV) As we study the latter part of Acts 2:47 we take special note of the fact “that every day the Lord was adding to their numbers those being saved.” Firstly it was the Lord Himself who adding the people ...read more

    In order to be prepared for the attacks of the Devil and his demons, we must know more about him. Spiritual warfare has nothing to do with personality, gifting, calling or background. When you signed up to be a Christian, you automatically entered into warfare.

    Me – Are we aware of the battle that goes on in the spiritual realm? In every world religion, there is an acknowledgement of a spiritual realm. In every minor religion, there is an acknowledgement of a spiritual realm. Even for those who don’t believe in God, many believe in the supernatural. If ...read more

    "[If] the princes of this world...had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" 1 Cor. 2:8. The Cross was the method of invasion of Hell; it was the Trojan Horse by which Jesus gained access to Death!

    THE TROJAN HORSE OF HEAVEN INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. WELL WISHERS. For 98 percent of the students at the school where John Hyde’s wife teaches, English is a second language.

    A sermon examining the importance of Christ's followers being alert, vigilant and faithful.

    KEEP WATCHING AND REMAIN FAITHFUL Mark 14:27-42 Some people are natural early risers. They are up before the sun and ready to start their day.

    A Heart Of Faith

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,118 views

    While ten men only saw the problems, two men in that group were able to see God, and depended on the promises that He had made to them.

    For today’s meditation we focus on Joshua 14:7, “I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.” (ESV) Of late we are studying the life of Caleb, and the above mentioned verse are the ...read more

     | 2,750 views

    Though the Lord had led them out of perilous situations, and taken care of all their needs, the Israelites were still hesitant to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. While Moses kept the promise of God at the forefront the people kept themselves ahead of everything else.

    For today’s meditation we will read Deuteronomy 1:21, “See, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not fear or be dismayed.'” (ESV) These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel. When the Lord ...read more

    Who Can And Cannot Be Saved

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,198 views

    The scripture says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    This verse of scripture sounds simple enough, but often even a familiar text needs some explanation. Something needing an explanation makes me think of the following little story: Illus: There was a criminal who was put in prison. The prison life had many new and different aspects. One of the ...read more

    God's Great Love

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 18, 2021
     | 1,892 views

    Let me ask you TWO questions: (1) WHY DOES GOD LOVE MANKIND? Why? Because the Bible says GOD IS LOVE! He can’t help Himself - GOD IS LOVE! (2) WHY DIDN’T GOD MAKE US AS ROBOTS AND CREATE US WHERE WE ALL WOULD HAVE TO LOVE HIM?

    Let me tell you why… Illus: Most of us, have seen some of these little doll babies that the toy companies make. As these young girls hold these dolls in their arms, these words come from the play doll baby; “I love you!” God could have created us to be like that if He chose to do so! HE IS THE ...read more
