    Hard Times

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 1, 2022
     | 4,136 views

    Life is full of ups and downs. God wants us to always stay focused on Him when times or good or bad. Don’t give up on God, but don’t forget about Him either.

    For the past few weeks we've been talking about things like betrayal, temptation, and the injustices in our lives. Today I want to group all of that together and just talk a little bit about hard times in general. Life is full of ups and downs. A star quarterback throws a game-winning ...read more

    Life Is One Big Test

     | 1,535 views

    Someone said, “Life is a test”. Life is one big university that is in session 365 days a year.

    I do not know about you, but I have never enjoyed taking a test. Now I can remember when I was in college. It seemed as if some of my classmates enjoyed taking a test because it gave them a chance to show off how smart they were. But I never had a lot to show off, so I never enjoyed taking a ...read more

    1 Timothy 4:1-5 shows us several features of false teachers.

    Scripture In his First Letter to Timothy, Paul concluded chapter 3 with a description of the church as “a pillar and buttress of the truth” (3:15) and a summary of that truth in relation to Christ (3:16). Chapter 4 opens with a discussion of false teachers. Let us read 1 Timothy 4:1-5: 1 Now the ...read more

    Standing Strong

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 16, 2022
     | 4,337 views

    God is reminding us that trials are a part of the Christian life. Jesus never glossed over the challenges we face as His children. God reminds us that whatever trial we face, He is there waiting for us to turn it over to Him and stand strong.

    I want you all to think back with me as we begin this morning. Many of us looked forward to leaving high school behind with all of its challenges. Then we began to experience a whole new set of challenges in college or in the workplace. We began wondering what direction we were going to take in ...read more

     | 2,099 views

    While ten men only saw the problems, two men in that group were able to see God, and depended on the promises that He had made to them.

    For today’s meditation we focus on Joshua 14:7, “I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.” (ESV) Of late we are studying the life of Caleb, and the above mentioned verse are the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,438 views

    What happens when someone honors God, honors His anointed, holds on to their faith and implicitly obeys God? Read to know all that the Lord did in the life of someone who did this.

    We read in Psalms 77:11, “I will remember your great deeds, LORD; I will recall the wonders you did in the past.”(GNB) We recall the wonders of God from the past, so as to understand the manifold nature of our Almighty God. As we meditate on all that is recorded in the Bible, especially in the Old ...read more

     | 2,315 views

    When our situations are gloomy and dark and there seems no hope, remember the Lord Jesus is close at hand and He specializes in transforming lifeless situations to those brimming with life and fruitfulness.

    In Mark 16:1, we read, “And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.”(KJV) The Lord Jesus as He had already predicted to His disciples on several occasions, was crucified on a cross at ...read more

    Christ And The Church

     | 1,997 views

    Have you ever seen a couple and said, “I wonder what he sees in her” or, “I don't understand what she sees in him”? So we can also ask, what does Jesus see in the church? He loves the church and gave Himself for her.

    Alba 6-11-2023 CHRIST AND THE CHURCH Ephesians 5:22-33 A 97-pound Labrador retriever named Marley is said to have been the world’s worst dog. His story is told in a book for children, "Marley: A Dog Like No Other", by John Grogan. It was also made into a movie called “Marley and ...read more

    Small In Stature, Not In Nature

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,039 views

    This message looks at the account of a very short man named Zacchaeus. Though he was small in stature, he was by no means small in nature, for he demonstrated a character that many of us need to have in our own lives.

    This morning we are going to look at the story of a very short man named Zacchaeus. Most of us have probably at least heard of Zacchaeus before because of a popular childhood song that we learned in church, either in Sunday school or Vacation Bible School. The lyrics of the song start something ...read more

    The Refiner’s Fire

     | 6,117 views

    In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

    I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

    The perfect will of God for every believer is to rejoice always, to pray without ceasing, and to give thanks in everything and for everything.

    The Will of God Concerning the Believer Study Text: 1 Thessalonians 5: 16 - 18 Introduction: - People often wonder what God's will is. The Bible is God's word and reveals to us what the will of God concerning us is. - The Bible also gives principles in the will of God for us ...read more

    Third John 9-10 shows us how a conceited Christian lives.

    Scripture We are closing in on the conclusion of our study in the Apostle John’s letters that I am calling “That You May Know That You Have Eternal Life.” John wrote three letters toward the end of the first century.

    When God Calls Your Name: Samuel Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021
     | 6,079 views

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Samuel Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/14/2016 Hearing your name called can evoke different responses depending on the circumstances. For instance, there’s a sense of fear and anxiety when you’re a student and you hear your name called over ...read more

    Seizing The Moment Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,974 views

    In order to walk in victory, we must daily devote ourselves and our time to seeking the Lord and His presence. We must learn to seize every minute and every second, and make the most of it for the Lord while living in the present moment.

    When we start claiming new territory for the Lord, as in leading people to faith in Christ, we will more than likely have to fight some spiritual battles; and fighting can be tiresome. Fighting can leave us weary and discouraged wishing the conflict was at an end; wanting to slow down and enjoy ...read more
