Greetings!

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 13, 2020

Paul and others included greetings in their letters. What's the significance of that and is that something I need to be focused on? Let's find out.

GREETINGS! In my Church Leaders newsletter Thursday, they had an article about suicide prevention because it was world suicide prevention day. It covered a variety of subjects pertaining to suicide but it also highlighted that it was on the rise during COVID. This is understandable, with all the ...read more

Life In The Son

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

In Acts 3:15, the Bible calls Jesus the “author of life.” It is of utmost importance that we realize that the origin of abundant life is Jesus Christ; and that His abundant life is everlasting, both now and in the age to come eternal.

In Acts 3:15 Jesus Christ is called “the Prince of life.” Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). John 1:4 tells us, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” 2 Peter 1:3 declares of Jesus that “His divine power has ...read more

Living In The Tree Of Life (Part 2)

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the formation of a value system; or rather, a "judgement" system. Living in the tree of life is making decisions from life and liberty, and what stimulates life in both you and others.

This morning’s message is a continuation of last week’s on the tree of life, and I have entitled our sermon, “Living in the Tree of Life” – Part 2. I would like to begin with some food for thought by sharing a real life illustration of a historical figure who walked in the tree of life. George ...read more

Suffocating In Worry

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

Worry causes us to feel as though we’re grasping for breath and walking around half-dead. Worry zaps our life and drains our strength. In order to have true life in the Lord, we must place all our cares in the hands of Jesus Christ.

E. Stanley Jones, a missionary to India in the early 1900’s, stated, “I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is grasping for breath - these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely - these are my native ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Feb 6, 2022

Yes, there is a Balm in Gilead for our day to heal all of humanity’s ailments, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Learn more from Jeremiah’s question if there is such a balm and physician.

The Christian And His Money

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 7, 2022

Many times you think you know people until you deal with them concerning money.

Ask any landlord. He can tell you how many people have deceived him over and over again with their nice talk and appearance. The prospective renters may have looked like the most honest people ever, yet once they moved in they turned out to be some of the biggest "dead beats" in ...read more

One Day At A Time

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

We often feel that we can’t be happy until we are in the “perfect place,” or God’s “perfect will.” If we wait around for the perfect moment, then we could miss those truly perfect opportunities. The perfect moment to serve is right now.

I have entitled our message for this morning “One Day at a Time.” What I am going to share has to do with understanding God’s will for our life, and this is a subject matter that concerns each of us as believers. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more

Why Behave In Church? Series

Contributed by David Owens on Aug 29, 2022

The last three verses of 1 Timothy 3 are power-packed with incentive to conduct ourselves in a proper manner. Why should we behave? We should behave because of what the church is and who Christ is.

Introduction: A. One Sunday a young child was “acting up” during the morning worship service and the child’s parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew, but they were losing the battle. 1.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2022

Have you ever needed the Lord’s deliverance? We must never forget that we are in a battle, and the sides are clearly divided – light and dark; good and evil; citizens of heaven, and the unsaved of earth. Those whom the Lord delivers look to Him, and have radiant faces.

God Gives The Earth To Us (Joshua 10:29-11:23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

Joshua is systematically killing off the nephilim, so that God's people can inherit the land, and have true "rest."

If you walk up to a random Christian in church, and ask them what the book of Joshua is about, they will tell you it's about the conquest of the land God promised Israel. But consider this: we are almost through Joshua 10, and at this point in the book, Joshua has conquered three cities: ...read more

God Will Finish What He's Started (Joshua 12:1-23, 13:1-22) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2022

Joshua is old, and he can't do all that he wants to for God (and there's a lot left to do). God reassures him, "I got this. I'll finish the job."

This is a great passage. Let me try, up front, to persuade you about this. It's super helpful for understanding Joshua as a whole. There's hints scattered throughout this section about the Nephilim, if you're into that sort of thing. And the passage points us to God, and his ...read more
