A Journey Of Faith

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Dec 20, 2020

They were wise men from the east, nothing else is said about their origin here. Contrary to popular Christmas tradition, the Bible does not use the terms three wise men or three kings to describe the travelers who went to see Jesus after his birth.

A Journey of Faith By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Today as we are approaching and will be celebrating Christmas on this week I felt God taking me in a different direction. I am not going to deal with the traditional Christmas message. Tradition has a major effect on how we perceive ...read more

Jesus Is The Prince Of Peace

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 12, 2022

Isaiah 59:8 states, The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. (NIV) These words could be said about Bethlehem in the time of Jesus. And about our world today. Yet into this world has come the One described in Isaiah 9:6, the Prince of Peace.

Alba 1-2-2022 PRINCE OF PEACE Isaiah 9:6 We live in a world that is unable to stay at peace. We hope for it every new year. But every year disappoints, fulfilling our Lord's words that there will always be wars and rumors of war. Yet, there was in history a moment when the promise of peace ...read more

The Lord Who Makes You Holy Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 11, 2022

The holiness of God is a vital part of our study on the character of God. Holiness of God is used as a prefix more than any other prefix describing God. He is Holy God. The name we will study Jehovah-M’kaddesh occurs in Leviticus 20:7-8.

The Lord who makes you Holy Leviticus 20:7-8 The holiness of God is a deep theological subject. That does not mean we need to use deep theological language. For the holiness of God we need to use the Albert Einstein rule of simplicity. Everything must be as simple as possible and no simpler. ...read more

Chose Hell Or Salvation

Contributed by Lee Houston on Oct 20, 2023

Jesus spent much time convincing us that He cherishes and wants us to be with Him eternally. That is why He warned us of eternal hell. Indeed, Jesus taught about hell more than He taught about heaven describing hell in vivid detail.

Living With(Out) Regret Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 24, 2022

We all have regrets, things we've done or have had done to us in the past. Paul describes two ways of dealing with these regrets- worldly and godly. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell on living without regret.

Our current series is called “What Keeps You Up At Night?” We’ve explored anger/bitterness, concern for family, and today I want to talk about regret. It’s the idea of dealing with our mistakes/sins, whether real or perceived from our past. Personally, the concept takes me back to my ...read more

Wild Waves Of The Sea Casting Up Their Own Shame – Jude 1:13 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 23, 2022

Have you ever seen a wild sea with wild waves casting up from the sea floor filth and debris and putrid things? That is the next image Jude uses to describe false teachers. That is what their doctrines and behaviour are like. We then look at wild waves in scripture.

WILD WAVES OF THE SEA CASTING UP THEIR OWN SHAME – Jude 1:13 Jude has been decrying false teachers and using quite stunning metaphors to describe them. In previous messages we did these and saw that each one paralleled what Peter also wrote, for he too, addressed those bring havoc into the ...read more

The Bible, Jesus, His Teaching, Kingdom, Parables Pt. 6 Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 3, 2022

Jesus most taught about one subject the most which was the Kingdom of Heaven or God and He primarily used Parables to teach about the Kingdom of Heaven – to describe it, to get in it, to live for it, to be rewarded by it, to be ready for it when it comes into its literal reign.

Standing Firm In The Last Days

Contributed by Ronald Moore on Feb 7, 2025

Paul describes a society that has turned away from God, where people are consumed with self-interest, greed, pride, and ungodliness. His words sound eerily familiar, as if they were written for our own time. But they also contain guidance and encouragement for us as faithful Christians.

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

The Idols That Make Us Idle

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025

It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more

Funeral For "A Martha"

Contributed by Troy Borst on May 15, 2010

Many times we take a look at another person, and for us we look at Scripture, and say that our loved one embodies so much of what was expressed by another. For ******, she has been described as Martha, one of Jesus’ dear friends, from Luke 10.
