    Shadow Of Death

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 27, 2020
     | 7,622 views

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the ‘shadow of death’ indicates there is a massive, bright and overwhelming light of hope behind any ‘darkness’ that haunts you. Behind any/all darkness in your life is that ‘ray of hope’, which is higher, greater, and certainly brighter than any ‘doom’.

    Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined. Often it is the feeling or condition of being afraid. Combine that with Darkness and there-in is a gripping and many times overwhelming sense of pending doom.. of certain calamity… ...read more

    Just days prior to the crucifixion, Jesus spoke to His disciples regarding the events surrounding the end times. While we cannot predict the day, nor the hour, we can see the stage being set for His return!

    Signs of the End (Part 1) Matthew 24: 3-14 Today I want to begin a study on what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Jesus spoke these words in His last days prior to the crucifixion in response to the disciples’ questions regarding His return and the end of the age. These verses have been ...read more

    Humility

    Ministers are reluctant to preach on humility. How do we promote humility without sounding like we think we’ve attained it? Needless to say, my sermon title isn’t “Humility and how I found it.” We are all "works-in-progress".

    Winston Churchill was reviling a political opponent at a press conference. A reporter interrupted him asking, “But surely, Mr. Churchill, you must admit that he is a humble, modest man?” To which Churchill replied: “He is a humble man, but then he has much to be humble about!” Ministers are ...read more

    The Power Of Choice - Learning To Make The Right Choices

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 14, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,409 views

    The psalmist faced the same kind of choices we face. He may not have been living through a pandemic, deciding for or against mask, for or against vaccines or deciding which political party is right or wrong, yet he offers some great advice.

    The Psalmist poses a thought-provoking question in Psalms 25:12. “What man is he that feareth the Lord?” Ponder his question for a moment…Then allow that question to provoke a self-examination. This psalm and the three preceding it reveals all the postures of worship: David presented in all the ...read more

    Church, our job is not to predict the end—it’s to proclaim the King! We must be Gospel people in an end-times world.

    Go! And Endure to the End - Matthew 24:3–14 Opening Prayer: Heavenly Father, As we open Your Word today, prepare our hearts to receive the truth.

    Explore the importance of humility in our Christian walk and discuss how we can practically live out this virtue in our daily lives.

    Proclaiming The Gospel Today

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 27, 2023
     | 642 views

    Why are Christians afraid to talk about their blessings from Jesus Christ? Peter did in this narrative. BUT when he received the Holy Spirit he went out and proclaimed the Gospel. We have the Holy Spirit and should do the same as he did.

    Other world religions worship some dead guy. As God’s people, we worship the living God. When we see Jesus in the Bible, we are looking at God. We see how much God sympathizes with us in the person of Jesus Christ.

    Unanswered Prayer (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 1, 2023

     | 1,842 views

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    We have learned that God invites us to ask Him what we need (Matthew 7:7) because, number one, God wants us to be close to Him; number two, God wants us to always depend on Him; and number three, God wants to show His love to us. When we ask something from Him, we must be ready to get His ...read more
