    Psalm 2 holds a proclamation of celebration of the Lord’s eternal authority over all kings and every nation in the midst of their boasting and planning to ignore His universal Kingship.

    Significance of His Kingship The Lord Has Final Authority Psalm 2 holds a truth which overrules all nations regardless of their present world-wide influence.

    Words are cheap. True biblical love is love in action.

    If you ever feel frustrated with your church—God forbid!—then just read the Bible book of 1 Corinthians. First Church, Corinth was a real mess! People were fighting and gossiping. People were prideful. People were cliquish. And so the Apostle Paul wrote them a letter, trying to ...read more

    The gates of hell will not destroy this church. Jesus said that in Matthew 16:18. When he said that, he was not talking about a building. He was talking about the people, because people are the church.

    This is the 6th of 31 Devotions in the series entitled, 'The Church called Jonah.' It's about the cry of the sailors during the storm

    # 6 – The Great Cry Jonah 1:5 – “every man cried out to his god.” We’ve just seen how the mariners, who obviously would have been tough men and who would have weathered many a storm, were so afraid because of the tempest. Now we’re going to look at how they went beyond just experiencing the ...read more

    Even many Spirit-filled Christians miss out on the spiritual blessings of speaking in tongues. In this sermon, discover the seven blessings of speaking in tongues. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Introduction: A few months ago, I read an article on a website of The Guardian, a British daily newspaper. The article mentions that the chief leader of the Church of England (which has about 85 million members), Justin Welby, speaks in tongues every day as part of his 5 am prayer.

    What are some ways that we must please God in the area of our sexual purity? (Material adapted from Walter Kaiser's book, What Does the Lord Require?: A Guide for Preaching and Teaching Biblical Ethics, chapter 6 Cohabitation and Fornication pg. 79-89)

    HoHum: A mother was concerned when she heard that her son had a live in girlfriend. She went to his house. Her son was the only one home. The son said, “It’s not what you think, Mom. She needed a place to stay. She has her bedroom and I have mine.” The son then showed his ...read more

    Will Jesus come at just any minute now? A seriously important question?

    5. IMMINENCE ‘"Jesus could come at any time." I know what the people who say this mean, but we must take objection to that statement as it stands. In fact, Heaven has a day circled on the Heavenly Calendar when Jesus must come. [Acts 17:31, (God) has appointed a day in which He will ...read more

    Few recognize the beauty and power of praise. God inhabits our praise. We want no rocks crying out our praise. Come let us PRAISE GOD.

    DON’T WANT NO ROCKS CRYING OUT FOR ME… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I give each person a small rock. We think about what lesson we can learn from a rock.

     | 3,183 views

    It is easy to allow giants to define who we are. Problems must never define and cause us to react to problems. Faith knows this giant is an opportunity.

    The Stairway To Heaven

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021
     | 3,127 views

    Have you ever noticed that? The Bible is not simple, and it's not man made. It's all interconnected. The first verse of the Old Testament says "in the beginning God created" it all. Of course we know from Genesis chapters 2 and 3 that things went wrong.

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:1. Have you ever noticed that?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Feb 23, 2022
     | 2,132 views

    We can build a death trap by comparing ourselves with ourselves. Quit trying to be like everyone else. Glorify and Worship God. The presence of God is what we seek. Every common bush is aflame...

    HAUNTED ME? COMPARISON? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com FEBRUARY IS A MONTH OF THREE DAYS OF CELEBRATION. February 29, 30 and 31 are three days when anything a man says he is right.
