Getting Straight To The Point Series

Contributed by David Moore on Jan 6, 2010

This message is the first in a series through the gospel of Mark. It highlights the nature of John’s ministry and the importance of Holt Spirit baptism.

Mark, the subject of our Sunday evening services for the next few months wants us to see Him as the Servant of the Lord, as the Messiah, the ...read more

Since before the beginning of all things, that is before the beginning as defined by the creative energy of the Eternal Voice, before He spoke light into the darkness and form into the void, He was there. God was there before the beginning.

Eighth Commandment (10 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This morning we dealt with the commandment, "Thou shalt not Steal." We found out that we can steal in many ways. We found, for example, that we can steal:

1. Through gossip: We can say many things about people that can rob them of their good reputation. 2. Through being a bad employee. Not doing the job that we are being paid to do, or even perhaps dipping our hands in the till. 3. Through being a bad employer. An employer can easily steal from his ...read more

Reflecting The Light Of Love

The darkness in this world spreads, but the light of Christ shines. And it illumines us and radiates through us to the world.

I want to draw your attention again to the beginning of this passage, where it say, “When he had gone out…” (John 13:31). Who is John talking about here? Who is it that has just “gone out”?

The Thessalonians # 2 (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

In a previous message we learned how Paul brought the gospel message to the Thessalonians.

For three Sabbath days he preached nothing to them but that Christ • Came. • Suffered. • Died. • Rose from the dead. • Was the Son of God.
