His Satanic Majesty, The Devil

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Mar 24, 2025

This sermon will give us greater understanding of the one who wants to drag us to hell, the devil. We will come to know that Satan is the originator of lies, and the deceiver of mankind.

Don’t let this title have you to believe that I am going to give a glowing report of the devil. No! It is more of a sarcastic title for one whom the bible calls the prince of the air, one who has a short reign to try and destroy as many of you as he can. So, this is my time to give you an ...read more

Contributed by Scott Weber on Mar 23, 2001

Third in a series on Matthew 24 & 25, this message focuses on the mandate to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us since Jesus is coming back and we don’t know when.

Because Jesus Is Returning . . . "Be Faithful- Matthew 25:14-30" I like reading bumper stickers.

Contributed by Dan Dunn on Dec 1, 2000

You have perhaps experienced as I have, that life can be humbling sometime.

Tithing

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 2, 2004

I don’t believe for one minute that tithing buys God’s blessing. But I do believe that it opens a door – or better, a “window” – of release for God to bless continually and mightily.

TEXT: Malachi 3:6-12 TITLE: TITHING Let me begin by making three statements about tithing: 1. Tithe means “a tenth” – Genesis 28:22 – “And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will surely give a tenth to You.” The word tithe in the Hebrew ...read more
