Everyday Heroes

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Feb 17, 2021

God calls us to be heroes not only in extraordinary circumstances, but in our daily lives.

I) Let’s talk a bit about heroes. A) I love to read adventure thrillers. One of the authors that I used to read a lot (while he was living) was Robert Ludlum. His stories were frequently built around an average citizen who sees or hears something that he should not have. He then becomes caught up ...read more

By My Spirit

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 6, 2021

Elijah The Prophet Of Fire Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Elijah broke into the atmosphere of human history like a comet. We have no story of his birth or background. His coming was as sudden and mysterious as was his going in the flaming chariot.

Elijah was the Luther of the Old Testament. He was God's man of the hour to begin a reformation and lead the children of Israel back to God. For about 50 years devotion to God had been decreasing. Ahab was now king in Israel, and he was more wicked than all who had gone before him. He married ...read more

John-Son Of Thunder Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

When John wrote his Gospel the other three were already written and well known. They are so negative on John that he probably thought there was little he could add, so he ignores himself all together in his own Gospel.

Sin Crouching At The Door Series

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021

The phrase “sin crouching at the door” the KJV has “lies at the door” depicts a wild animal such as a lion, ready to pounce on you. This is the word picture about the attack of sin. This word picture is not a literal door, but portrays Cain’s heart as a door.

Cain was the first human to ever be born on earth. His parents, Adam and Eve, both had special creation births. Many parents will read this story of Cain and remember what it was like to wait for the birth of their first child. So many hopes and dreams are wrapped up in that little baby who is your ...read more

The Paradox Of Blessing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

To be eligible for forgiveness we must first sin by disobeying God and, therefore, this is a blessing we are to avoid. It is a blessing to offer this forgiveness to the fallen believer, but it is not a blessing to have fallen and needing such forgiveness.

Doing your best could be the worst thing you could do. That sounds like a contradiction, but it can be explained so that it makes sense as a paradox. A paradox is a statement, which at first sight seems absurd, and contrary to common sense, but which can be explained so as to be well grounded ...read more

Love's Response To Hate Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

Thank God for the cross and the record we have of it, for not only is our salvation dependent upon it, but the reality of all Jesus taught is dependent upon what we see and hear at the cross.

Fearless Faith

Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Feb 26, 2022

As Christians must not live in fear. We can either live on the "Solid Rock" or the shifting sands of the world. We need fearless faith knowing our hope, our faith, and our confidence is found in Jesus.

The Message Of The Resurrection

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 21, 2022

Some of the clearest scripture concerning salvation, shows that belief in the resurrection of Christ is necessary if one is to be saved. • Romans 10:9 states, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the ...read more

Jacob-Glimpses Of His Twilight Years Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 18, 2022

The next to last chapters of Jacob's life are like a quiet period between his arrival in Hebron and his final earthly journey to Egypt. He endured several things but there is no record he ever lost his faith.

Introduction: After Jacob and his household returned to Hebron (Gen. 35:27), he seemed to settle down to a life of farming and ranching.
