    Does Anybody Care Anymore?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 3, 2022
     | 1,366 views

    Everyone needs to seek the Lord, those in government, parliament, government officials of both city, state, and nation. People of our communities, our businesses, our churches, and even ourselves; we all need to seek the Lord.

    During the declining reign of Jeroboam II of Israel, Hosea was called by God to prophesy to His people. Hosea was given instructions to marry a woman of whoredoms, and God told Hosea that the woman would be unfaithful. Hosea went on to marry Gomer.

    A Way To Revival

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 25, 2025
     | 298 views

    Imagine a city so entrenched in its ways that the very notion of change seems radical, if not impossible. Yet, through the obedience of Jonah, a reluctant prophet, and the subsequent repentance of the Ninevites, we witness one of the most powerful revivals in biblical history.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: God revived me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the so many lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way ...read more

    In Daniel God predicted He would establish a Kingdom that would never end. What is that Kingdom, and what difference can that make in our lives?

     | 27,136 views

    If we don’t talk about sin, the reality of our sin nature, and it’s destructive power and it’s eternal consequences, then we, as the church, are doing perhaps the most incredible disservice to people that we could ever do with our entire lives. We water

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,161 views

    One of the most valuable lessons the child of God can learn is that of living in moment by moment submission and obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit of God. To do otherwise is to live outside the will of God, and results in an aimless life for the Chr

    Spirit-Filled Living Text: Eph.5: 18-19; Gal.5: 16-17 Intro: Too often we Baptist tend to shy away from the term “Spirit-filled.” This is perhaps largely due to some of the wild and weird things perpetrated and practiced under the guise of being filled with the Holy Spirit, such as “taking up ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 822 views

    It is argued that the “blood” of Jesus is for protection” and therefore justifies the practice of pleading it.

Jesus said at the Last Supper, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Matthew 26:28 NIV) “without the shedding ...read more

    Correction Of The Letter. Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 30, 2019
     | 3,859 views

    This Epistle was designed to produce pain in the Corinthian believers—and Paul felt very apprehensive about its effect on them. It was painful to him to write it, and he was well aware that it must cause deep distress among them to be scolded in this manner.

    My sermon is about not becoming camplacent about sin in our lives and the process of sanctification.

    STAY On track In the past few months we’ve heard a lot about trains coming off their tracks. Every time I turned on the radio another train had come off the tracks.
