     | 8,572 views

    God provides for those of us who are believers in Jesus Christ. God provides deliverance for us in this life and in the next. We who are believers in Jesus have everything that God promised in the last part of Obadiah.

    MESSAGES FROM THE PROPHETS: God Takes Care of His Own OBADIAH 1-21 #6weeksintheprophets INTRODUCTION… Good Things Come in Small Packages (p) There is a phrase that we use that is mostly true I think, “Good things come in small packages.” The phrase means that something does not need to be big ...read more

    7 Things Every Mother Faces

     | 5,253 views

    Let's look at some things in the NT about Mary, the mother of Jesus, and see some parallels that every mother faces or experiences.

    The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she'd have children if she had it to do over again. "Sure," she replied, "but not the same ones." When my son graduated from high school, he had to give a speech. He began by reading from his ...read more

    Racists And Bigots And Bias, Oh My!

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 15, 2020
     | 6,319 views

    The death of George Floyd brought the problem of racial injustice to the forefront again. Although there may be a need for police reform, the underlying problem goes deeper. What does God's word say about things like racism, prejudice and discrimination?

    RACISTS AND BIGOTS AND BIAS, OH MY! The death of George Floyd brought the problem of racial injustice to the front burner again. This time it seems like the protesters are not letting up until there's at least some level of reform. Although there may be a need for that, the underlying problem ...read more

    Thanksgiving - Enjoy The Donut

    Contributed by Lane Hastie on Jul 29, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,011 views

    This simple sermon is a great visual expression of Thanksgiving that listeners of all ages can immediately relate to and will remember long after the sermon is finished.

    “As you go through life, make this your goal...look at the donut and not the hole.” Donuts are great! Wouldn’t it be sad if you focused your attention on the hole in the middle. Wouldn’t you miss out? Wouldn’t it be just a wee bit silly to complain about the hole? What a sad mistake it would ...read more

    Sowing Discord

    Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 17,599 views

    Sowing discord among brethren is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. Considering yourself better than others fosters division but considering others better than yourself fosters unity. Watch out for those who cause divisions and avoid them. Love binds us, discord separates us.

    SOWING DISCORD “A perverse man sows’ strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends” (Proverbs 16:28) Brethren are created by God to live in unity (How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! (Psalm ...read more

    Why do we feel inadequate to be pure in heart... we mix a lot.

    Jesus Before All Else

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 1, 2025

     | 826 views

    To be a true disciple of Christ, to be assured of eternal life, we must never be ashamed to confess His holy name. We must also be willing to follow Him always, forsaking our own desires and even our family and friends.

    I have entitled our message, “Jesus Before All Else.” Author Mike Mazzalongo wrote a book entitled Jesus Above All Else. He says that Jesus told His followers, “in no uncertain terms, that in order to be His disciple they must place Him above all else.” He explains that “above all else” means ...read more

    Contrary And Condemned

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2026

     | 251 views

    There are way too many people who miss God’s message for them, and even miss Jesus, as they are focused on finding fault. This behavior resulted in the cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum being rebuked.

    I want to begin our message with a sermon illustration: “All too many Christians today go to church to find fault, to gossip, and to criticize . . . An incident in the life of Joseph Parker, the great British preacher, illustrates this tragic truth. He was preaching at the City Temple in London. ...read more

    We’ll look at the events that happened in these three days along with their implications and what they revealed. It began with the trial that revealed His purpose, His death that revealed His passion, and the resurrection that revealed His power to fulfill His promise.

    Strong Enough To Serve

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 174 views

    Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

    There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more
