The Godly Portrait Of Marriage, Pt. 1 Series

Contributed by Dave Kinney on Sep 7, 2008

A man is infinitely superior to a woman at being a man and a woman is infinitely superior to a man at being a woman! God made us completely different so that He might make man and woman ONE! Caution: let no one but God define your marriage and sexuality!

I’m told that an angel came to Adam before Eve was created and said, “I have a proposition for you Adam. We are going to create for you an individual like you, but a little different – a female!” So Adam said, “Well what will she be all about?

Peace In Uncertain Times (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 27, 2020

A radio message designed to encourage believers to rejoice in the peace Christ offers those who walk with Him. The world defines "peace" in a manner that is unattainable. Christ offers peace that is the heritage of each person who knows Him as Master over life.

“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” [JOHN 14:27]. [1] “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch ...read more

Faith Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 17, 2021

So, let’s push aside everything we have read on the internet about faith, put the secular books down that make an attempt to define Christian faith, and let’s take hold of a different understanding of faith from what the world describes.

I hope all our mothers had a wonderfully blessed day and I hope your family showed their love and appreciation to you on your Special Day because you are so special to us.

Coincidence, Or God At Work?

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 28, 2023

God has worked behind the scenes many times that people say are "just coincidences." Someone has defined “coincidence” as “a miracle for which God chooses to remain anonymous.” I'm convinced that can be seen in the Book of Esther!

In God’s Image: The Dignity And Destiny Of Humanity Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Dec 12, 2025

How do we define a human being in the 21st century? Is it our intelligence, our achievements, our relationships? The Bible presents a far deeper, richer, and infinitely more dignified vision: every person—male or female—is created in the image of God.

Sermon - The Believers Perspective - Take The Long View

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 29, 2025

Building Margins And Resources Series

Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on Nov 13, 2007

Margins may be defined as “the space between your load and your limit.” The load represents the things that you carry every day. You reach a limit when you crack and go over the edge. Synonyms for margin include a buffer, space, reserves, or reservoir.

Numbered Days God says that we must live as a people who number our days. This means that we are to be stewards of our time. We must steward the hours that God gives to you and to me.
