    The Prophet Isaiah 1 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 27, 2022
     | 1,994 views

    We hear a lot of these television preachers give the impression that God comes down at least twice a day and visits and talks to them in an audible voice about the things He wants them to do.

    I find it hard to believe what many of these television preachers preach and teach most of the time. Much of it is UNSCRIPTURAL AND RIDICULOUS! They make the Lord’s work look bad! When one comes up with a new idea for making more money, the others seem to follow. I am sure there must be some good ...read more

     | 1,468 views

    How do you think it must have taken Saul by surprise to think that he was doing the Lord a favor persecuting Christians when he got chastised by the Lord Jesus Christ?

    Vetting S(P)aul Text: Acts 9: 1 -15 Act 9:1-15  Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest  (2)  and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, ...read more

    I want to let you know that no matter what you are going through, that you can live victoriously through your praise. I think that I need to tell someone this morning that through your exhortation and through your praise that you can tear down the walls that satan has built.

    The Danger Of Deception

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 4, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,353 views

    We, as believers of God and His word, should be on the lookout for deception in the realm of religion, for we are warned about it several times in the Scriptures. And if it is such a danger, we need to know what forms of deception may be used against us and prepare ourselves.

    Sermon: The Danger of Deception Scripture: Acts 5:1-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath ...read more

    Not Far From The Kingdom Of God

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 2,501 views

    You've heard the phrase, "close but no cigar". It communicates that getting almost there is not good enough. Jesus had an encounter with a teacher of the law in Mark 12 where he tells him that he was not far from the kingdom of God.

    NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD Mark 12:28-34 You've heard phrases like, "close but no cigar" or “almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades”.

    Chapter 45 Tower Of Shechem Burned Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 18, 2021
     | 2,601 views

    The tower of Shechem is where the elite of Shechem lived. It was part of the Temple of Baal-berith, and though we don’t know its location relative to the city, we do know that it served as the fortress to which the leaders of Shechem fled from the onslaught of Abimelech.

    Chapter 45 Tower of Shechem Burned [Judges 9.46-9.49] Scripture: Judges 9:46-49 (KJV) 46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith. 47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered ...read more

     | 2,407 views

    Jesus is the only one who can lift us up where we need His healing touch---a touch only Jesus can give! Look at Jesus’s domestic touch, His couch in the community and the necessity of prayer.

    LIFT US UP LORD Text: Mark 1:29 - 39 Mark 1:29-39  As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.  (30)  Now Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once.  (31)  He came and ...read more

    A sermon about the nature of temptation and how we can overcome.

    “Identity Theft” Luke 4:1-13 In Luke Chapter 4 it’s bread, power and safety. But it could be something else because the point of it isn’t the specifics of the temptations as much as it is the nature of temptation itself.

    What it means to take up our cross and follow Christ.

    “The God We Need” Mark 8:27-38 Peter gets the title right, but he doesn’t seem to understand what that title means. And so, when Jesus starts to talk NOT about the road to glory but instead the one that leads to the Cross, Peter rebukes Him…and then Jesus rebukes Peter right back. Which might ...read more
