Preaching From Philippians #2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

Battle Ready: Know Your Enemy - Part One Series

Contributed by Martin Spoelstra on Mar 14, 2023

In order to be prepared for the attacks of the Devil and his demons, we must know more about him. Spiritual warfare has nothing to do with personality, gifting, calling or background. When you signed up to be a Christian, you automatically entered into warfare.

Me – Are we aware of the battle that goes on in the spiritual realm? In every world religion, there is an acknowledgement of a spiritual realm. In every minor religion, there is an acknowledgement of a spiritual realm. Even for those who don’t believe in God, many believe in the supernatural. If ...read more

The True, (But Maybe Hidden) Meaning Of The Feeding Of The 5000.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 29, 2024

The true meaning of the feeding of the 5000 is rarely stated less acted on. We need to learn what this is, and how we can apply it to our lives. It takes a whole new mindset.

Grapes, Giants, Grasshoppers And God

Contributed by Denny Feasby on Jan 26, 2005

In life there are optimists and pessimists. Optimists focus on what can be; possibilities, opportunities, and potential. Pessimists on the other hand tend to focus on problems, obstacles and potential doom. Optimists tend to operate by faith not by sigh
