    How will World Peace be realized? Opinions vary on this subject, but Zechariah 14:12-16 reveals what must happen. At his Second Coming, Christ will employ three weapons to put down rebellion and establish peace.

    Intro Our text today is from Zechariah 14:12-15. It describes the destruction of the Antichrist armies at the Battle of Armageddon. These verses fit chronologically after verse 3.i So, I want to read Zechariah 14:1-3 and then read the text. Zechariah 14 begins with this word from God to Jerusalem: ...read more

    What's A Preacher To Do? Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 20, 2022
     | 2,840 views

    After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

    Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

    Breaking The Sin Barrier

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,699 views

    At the same time God desires to do a good work in my life, Satan desires to destroy it. The way he does it is through sin. Sin builds a barrier between us and God. It has to come down.

    God does not end his work in our life after we are saved, it has just begun. God desires that my life be Christlike, but he leaves it up to me. Philippians 2:12-13. At the same time God desires to do a good work in my life, Satan desires to destroy it. John 10:10. all of us at some time in our life ...read more

    The Rumor Weed

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,744 views

    Rumors and gossip are things we should avoid at all cost, because the information we spread can be destructive to those individuals when shared with others. Our God is not in the business of tearing down lives, but restoring them.

    I’ve entitled our message for this morning “The Rumor Weed,” based on a Veggie Tale’s song. On one episode of Veggie Tales, Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learned just how easily rumors can get started when they accidentally launched a whopper of a tale about Larry-Boy’s butler, Alfred, being a ...read more

    The Refiner’s Fire

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,054 views

    In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

    I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

    Paul challenged spiritual principalities, he tore down strongholds, he set captives free. Hell assaulted Paul, but at the end of the day, you could hear Paul singing... I'm Still Standing.

    I'M STILL STANDING One of the things I really love about the Bible is when it gives us in depth looks into the lives and the characters of people in the Bible. One of those individuals whose character and courage capture my attention is the Apostle Paul. We ...read more

    The Widow’s Mites Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 3, 2018
     | 10,845 views

    This particular widow was down to her last two mites (worth a fraction of a penny), which was the smallest offering accepted. Since it was such a small amount and this was all she had, it is amazing that she did not keep one of the coins for herself...

    -Tuesday- Jerusalem The Widow’s Mites (Lev. 27:30) Mark 12:41-44(Focal Passage), Luke 21:1-4 Mark 12:41-44 41 Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which ...read more

    Shouts From The Savior

    The holiness of God recoils from even the smallest sin. When God the Father looked down and saw His Son on the cross, He didn’t see His Son; He saw the sin that He was bearing.

    [Read these passages with lights off] Zephaniah 1:14-15: “The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter; the mighty man cries aloud there. A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of ...read more

     | 6,155 views

    When the Lord begins tearing down the walls of opposition and using you to bring glory to Himself, and to see the lost come to Christ; it is at this point that you need to be ever-mindful of how you stand, and be careful to walk in integrity.

    With success comes great responsibility. When the Lord begins tearing down the walls of opposition and using you to bring glory to Himself, and to see the lost come to Christ, then you need to be careful that you do not fall into sin.

    Often, we may not perceive God's presence, but He is always there; guiding us from all directions. His unseen hand controls our lives, breaking down obstacles and building up our strength.

    Have you ever experienced a blessing that seemed to come out of nowhere? A moment when everything fell into place without any effort on your part?

    That Insult Must Be Over

     | 363 views

    Reproach is real, and many suffer its sting in silence—but it is not the final chapter. God is the Judge who lifts one and puts down another. When He decides to honour a man, no one can stop Him.

    In basketball there’s a "triple threat" stance than can make an offensive player an effective threat to the opposing team. In the same way, Jesus models a "triple threat" for us that can make us effective for His kingdom. What is that triple threat, and h
