God Pursues The Lost

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This message looks at how people run from God when He is only trying to rescue them. What are some of the ways in which the Lord pursues the lost? And what happens when He actually catches the person who’s running?

This morning we are going to look at some words of revelation from the Lord spoken by the prophet Elihu to Job. In Elihu’s words of wisdom, we find a message that can be applied to those who are lost without salvation in Jesus Christ; and I wish to begin this sermon with an illustration: One ...read more

Be A Man Of God Series

Thomas The Doubter Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Thomas got tagged as the doubter because of his one experience. On this basis he gained a reputation as if he was a skeptic. The fact is we have as much evidence on record as we need to call him Thomas the dedicated defender.

No one ever calls John the Baptist John the doubter, yet his experience of doubt was far more serious than ...read more
