    Elevate To The Next Level - "Living Intentionally

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Aug 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 842 views

    I’d like to look at intentional living, which is about reassessing life, and living lives intentionally given the fact each one has only so many days left to live. As we begin, we’ll find those things we considered important might not be that important after all.

    Elevating to the Next Level “Living Intentionally” Watch on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDsFY6vQAU8 As we are continuing in our series on elevating our discipleship to the next level, I thought it would be beneficial to look at how are to live our lives in this crazy ...read more

    How Is Your Memory?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 12, 2025
     | 227 views

    Did you know our memory is a gift from God? God has given us many wonderful gifts, but our Memory is one of the great gifts God has given us. Just think about it!!! Wouldn’t it be a terrible to live our entire life on earth and when we die nobody remembers that we ever existed!!!

    • This is why we all want to leave behind a good legacy of ourselves so that our family and friends will remember us. • That is why when we die and people attend our funeral service the minister can remind people of the godly life we lived. Memory is a wonderful GIFT FROM GOD!!! Illus: Dr. ...read more

    When you study the event of David vs Goliath closely you gain some valuable insight: that the real giant that day was not the one big in stature but the one who was completely sold out to God.

    DAVID AND THE DWARF 1 SAMUEL 17: 1-56 INTRODUCTION: The story of David and Goliath is one of the most popular in all the Bible. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest incidents in the life of this Godly man that we have chosen to study. It was a contrast of incredible proportions. Anybody ...read more

    Dead Men Walking

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 15, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,193 views

    So are we dead men walking? Is it a possibility that the Spirit of God has left us? Are we more sensitive to people than the Holy Spirit? Do we really Love God above everything else in life? If so, is it evident (genuinely) to folks around us?

    Opening illustration: A popular movie several years ago, based on real events, gave an interesting angle on this. Apparently most states that have Death Row put the execution chamber close to that cell block. When a prisoner comes to that fateful day when he is to be killed, he is released from his ...read more

    Sometimes people try to accomplish good goals through unrighteous ways. That’s what Naomi proposed to Ruth, and which Ruth complied with. How did Boaz respond to what amounted to an “Indecent Proposal?” Join us this Sunday to see how a godly person should respond in a compromising situation.

    Solomon’s mistakes were that he started out well, but did not end well, he was a minimalist and he allowed his strength to become his weakness.

    Have you see the bumper sticker that says, “I took an IQ test and the results were negative”? Sometimes very intelligent people can get very negative results on their IQ tests. For instance, people are paid a lot of money to write the things that appear on the packages and products we buy. But a ...read more

    Which should take precidence - the mind or faith? Are the two mutually exclusive or can they get along together? Such are the questions out of Colossians 1: do you have the mind of man or the mind of Christ?

    In our world today there is a fight going on - which is more important, intellect, or faith? Especially amongst Christians these two ideas fight for preeminence. Some think the two are mutually exclusive - you either have blind faith or you have intellect - but not both. Others say that our minds ...read more
