Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 12, 2015

What Is Your Calling? (Part 6) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016

Has God really called you? Then where is that separation? Where is your heart? What is it captivated by? Is the presence of the Holy Spirit evident in your life? This is not something you can determine or speak for yourself. This the church will testify.

Am I My Brother's Keeper? Series

Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 28, 2018

God approached Cain with the question, "Where is your brother?". This question was for Cain to be brought back to the truth of his situation! Cain’s response was a lie and he knew it. “I don’t know” and "Am I My Brother's Keeper"? Do we tell these lies?

This morning we will be continuing the series I’m calling “Questions” • We are looking at several famous questions that were asked in the Bible and what we can learn from them. • Last week we discussed one of the very first questions in the Bible, “Did God Really Say…?” • Just like us, once Satan ...read more

Buying Your Own Ticket To Hell

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 15, 2020

Nobody really wants to go to Hell. Its very name conveys the ideas of “dread” and “punishment.” As strange as it sounds, one man in Scripture did buy his own ticket to Hell. Possibly some of you are in the process of buying your own ticket there.

BUYING YOUR OWN TICKET TO HELL Jonah 1:3; 2:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young boy from down south attended Sunday school for the first time with his grandparents who lived up north. He was so excited he couldn’t wait to tell grandma about the lesson. 2. "My teacher taught us all ...read more

Jochebed, A Great Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Is motherhood all sacrifice and no reward? No, for nothing done in God’s will is without its reward. This just shows us the humor of God, for out of Pharaoh’s treasury is coming the support for the child who will one day set His people free.

Mother had worked hard with her little girl in teaching her a part for a church program. The little girl had gone over it again and again, but when she stood up in front of people her mouth went dry and her mind went blank. She did not know what to say. Her mother sat in the front and tried to ...read more

Shrewd As Serpents Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

“Be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves” (Mt. 10:16). This verse is not advocating hypocrisy. We are not to employ the methods of the ungodly, but we should posses a similar creative capacity. We need to be clever in our dealings.

In Matthew 10:16, Jesus advised us to “be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.” Was Jesus telling believers to be two-faced hypocrites? Was He saying we need to be unjust in our daily activities and dealings, and then turn right around and act like model Christians on Sunday? No. Jesus was ...read more

Let God Arise

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jul 26, 2020

Resting in God’s ability to fight your battles shows the accuser the strength of your faith! The strength of your faith stems from the amount of trust you place in Gods hands! Knowing you can be thankful for God’s ability to act in each and every situation you may face is POWERFUL!
