     | 932 views

    This sermon explores the subtle ways God speaks and how we often miss His voice because we are not paying attention. It challenges believers to be spiritually alert, recognizing that God’s voice is often found in unexpected places and circumstances.

    The Moment To Decide

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 2, 2024
     | 428 views

    Every generation has a defining moral question, often between life and death, but always between good and evil. In the nineteenth century, it was for the right to choose ownership of other humans, or against the exploitation of slaves.

    Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 8, 2021
     | 1,425 views

    A popular mantra today is to exaggerate how we should apply Jesus’ caution against judgmentalism, by not even righteously judging evil lifestyles. Let's look at what Jesus actually taught about judging.

    A popular mantra today is to exaggerate how we should apply Jesus’ caution against judgmentalism, by not even righteously judging evil lifestyles. “Judge not, that you be not judged… Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? …” ...read more

    Staying Clam In A Storm Of Heresy Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jul 29, 2021
     | 2,820 views

    A major concern for John is heresy within the church and the manner it is causing problems and robbing believers of their joy. John uses antichrist in reference to those who perhaps start with seemingly sincere faith; yet, their teaching becomes contrary to Christ and abiding in him.

    There is a universal theme that runs through the book of 1 John, abiding in Christ. This is the key to “living in the world but not of the world. When we refuse to live in the world, we fail to serve Christ. Joe McKeever wrote the following. In the 1987 meeting of the Southern Baptist ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 22, 2025
     | 556 views

    Hearing Jesus requires quieting distractions, cultivating stillness, recognizing His whisper, and aligning life around the Shepherd’s voice that restores clarity, peace, and direction.

    There is a moment in every believer’s life when you sense that something is off. You believe in God. You know the stories. You’ve prayed prayers. You’ve stood in worship. You’ve read your Bible.
