God's Body Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jun 2, 2022

Don’t give yourself to sexual immorality. Instead, give yourself to God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit.

A little girl was talking to her grandmother. She asked, “Grandma, how old are you?” The grandmother replied, “Now dear, you shouldn’t ask people that question. Most grown-ups don’t like to tell their age.” The following day, the girl had another question. “Grandma, how much do you ...read more

Settled In Complacency

Contributed by Mark Roper on Nov 20, 2007

Sometimes Christians entertain very foolish and dangerous thoughts such as; Don’t get too concerned, keep things as they are, let someone else take care of it, set back, relax, and see what is going on. After all God will work things for us, or don’t g

Plundering The Enemies Camp

Contributed by Gregory Smith on Oct 12, 2009

Most Christians don’t realize how much the enemy has stolen. Even if they do, they often don’t know how to get it back. David "plundered" the Philistines camp after his victory over Goliath. We can do the same because Jesus has defeated our enemy.

Introduction: I have been talking about foundations for the entire year. Today I am going to share with you another foundational truth about warfare. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, it is much like enlisting in the army. You become a solider whether you want to admit it or not. ...read more

The Road To Recovery Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 28, 2018

If you want to recover from failure, then start your road to recovery when you cry before the Lord. But don’t just cry, consecrate yourself to the Lord. Then continue your journey when you confess your own sin. But don’t just confess it, clean the sin out!

The Book of Heroic Failures contains a story about the 1978 strike of British firefighters, when the army filled the gap for the missing firemen.

Three Gifts To Give The Next Generation - Mother's Day 2024

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 9, 2024

Repeatedly, tell them they are loved by their Heavenly Father. Repeatedly, tell your children that every one of God’s commands is an invitation to help yourself to happiness. Repeatedly, tell the next generation that every time the Bible says, “Don’t do this,” He’s saying, “Don’t harm yourself.”

Here are some interesting things I have heard moms say. 1. My kids sure make a lot of plans for someone who can’t drive anywhere. 2. One mom said to another, “That’s it. I’m selling my kid on eBay.” The other mom replied, “Don’t be silly! You made him. Sell him on Etsy.” 3. Nothing is lost until ...read more

First Judge Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 16, 2022

Othniel delivered God’s people through battle and there was peace for God’s people for forty years. Don’t get in the trap that repeats itself twelve times through the book of Judges with sin, punishment, repentance and deliverance. Don’t forget all the good things the Lord has done for you.

The title First Judge is taken from the movie First Knight. The First Knight story of Camelot. Lancelot is the courageous sword fighter. He runs the gauntlet and wins a kiss from Guinevere, the bride to be of King Arthur. Then Lancelot after another daring deed saves the life of Guinevere and lands ...read more

Approaching God

Contributed by Mark Hensley on Mar 15, 2001

Many people avoid God, because they don’t believe He can be known, others stay away because they don’t think they would like Him if they knew Him! Still others would rather hold on to the temporal pleasures of a sinful life, assuming that the way of God is less than fulfilling or meaningful!

West Greeley Baptist Church March 18th 2001 "Approaching God” Exodus 20: 18-21 Pastor Mark Hensley “When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we ...read more

Entertainment In The Church

Contributed by Donna Kazenske on Jun 22, 2007

The body of Christ loves to be entertained. If it doesn’t have a beat or doesn’t arouse our flesh, most of us don’t like it. We call it boring. Teenagers don’t know what to do with themselves when they go to church because they think it’s boring most of t

By: Donna Kazenske I went to a church service at a particular church a short time ago and was totally amazed at what I heard and saw. I have been to many church services throughout the years that were very similar to this one, but for some reason God opened up my spiritual eyes to see in a way ...read more

"Ever Been Mad At Go"

Contributed by Brad Henry on Sep 20, 2011

God desires to hear our frustrations even at Him. The psalms are all about questiong God. But we need to aks, we need to know that God loves us enough to be honest. Don't live this life pretending trials and pain don't exist. God can handle our pain and Y

Have you ever been mad at God? Most of us have because in a sense at times we lose the light to our path. We start to get into trouble in this life when we try to figure out where God is taking us. We get into a vicious cycle of “Since this happened God must be doing this” or ...read more

Dirty Jobs

Contributed by Ryan Akers on Aug 14, 2007

There are many people who work hard so that you and i can have the luxuries that we do. We never see these people but without them we would suffer. The same can be said in the church. Many of us don’t realize that if we don’t use our gifts for God even if

Dirty Jobs Pastor Ryan Akers Me- I Corinthians 12:12-26 Have you ever wondered how things were made?

It Is Not A Nothing Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 21, 2008

We excuse everything with "I don’t care", but when we see the eyes of those we have offended and hear them speak, we know that we have hurt them. When we see Christ and hear Him at the cross, we can no longer pretend that we don’t care.

I “I don’t care.” That was the mechanism I used as a boy to fend off whatever punishment my parents gave. “You’re grounded.” “I don’t care”. “No allowance this week.” I don’t care.” And, to tell the truth, I didn’t care. I would just go to some quiet corner and get a book and read. I was ...read more

It's All Over But The Praying Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 5, 2018

Keep praying always and don’t lose heart. Today we’re going to listen in as Jesus explains to His disciples why it is so important to persist in prayer … and then we’re going to look at what we miss out on when we don’t spend dedicated time with the Lord each day.

As a courtesy, a guest preacher was asked to give the offertory. Seeking to impress his captive audience, he went on and on … and on. Finally, one man leaned over to his neighbor in the pew and said: I don’t know about you but I’d double my offering right now if he’d just shut up!” You might ...read more

I Am

Contributed by Bishop Johnny Causey on Jul 13, 2021

To often in life, we as a people know everything, not realizing that if we truly took notice to what’s going on around us we would come to the shocking reality that we really don’t know as much as we thought. To put it bluntly, in reference to GOD and the WORD, we don’t know a thing!!

1. I KNOW: If we reflect on the Old Testament, we see that in Jeremiah 1:5 GOD said I knew you before you came from the womb, and that he will know us when we reach the tomb. GOD said that HE knows our thoughts from afar off before we even think them. Psalm 139:2 You see, GOD has known and yet ...read more
