    Lord, Teach Us To Pray Series

    Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,277 views

    The disciples spent an amazing amount of time with Jesus and would have had many opportunities for them to ask him to teach them something. And of all the amazing things they could have asked Jesus to teach them, only one thing is recorded: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1).

    Imagine with me for a moment that you’re one of Jesus’ disciples. You’ve been following him around for a little while now and you’ve seen him do some pretty incredible things…you’ve seen him heal crippled people, you’ve seen him cast out demons, you even saw him speak life into a dead guy. You’ve ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 15, 2024
     | 1,051 views

    This is the second sermon in this series on MAKE ME A BLESSING. When the apostle Paul writes to young Timothy and us to be a blessing we have to a “Man or Woman God.”

    But he does not leave him guessing what it takes to be a MAN OF GOD. In verse 11 he tells him and us as we saw in last week’s sermon… 1) We must FLEE from sin. 2) And today in this sermon he instructs us there are somethings we must FOLLOW after. Look at 1 Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, ...read more

    It is God’s gift to us that we have the ability to make choices. However, the choices we make also have consequences and let us learn how we can choose right and choose life.

    Patience In The Battle

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2023
     | 2,388 views

    One of the things that the Church, from my perspective, does not see how patient Satan is when it comes to seeing his destructive agenda manifest in our country and the world. This message examines looks at one example of this.

    Let’s open this evening with Hebrews 10:35, the foundational verse for this message. It says, “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” I was raised in a small country church in Tennessee in the 1960s and 1970s. When I say small, I’d ...read more
