God Is Calling His People To Praise And Worship!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Feb 2, 2021

I believe if a church is to bless and meet the needs of the people, it must be: Worship is to feel in your heart and express in some appropriate manner a humbling but delightful sense of wonder and overpowering love in the presence of Our Father Which Are in Heaven.

Leaving Religion Entering Kingdom

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Sep 5, 2021

Jesus always talked about Kingdom, the Kingdom of God, Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom is at Hand, my Kingdom is not of this world. Today when we hear the word kingdom, immediately many different ideas, concepts, and pictures come to mind.

The Walk Of The Believer In Jesus (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on May 20, 2022

There is a stark difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of this world. It can be difficult to understand the distinctions for someone new to the faith. We must remember that this world is not our home and the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus is substantially different from the world.

Casting Our Net Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

Just as the dragnet sweeps in all kinds of creatures, the kingdom will contain all kinds of people; meaning that God isn’t picky about who enters into heaven, so long as they confess Jesus as Lord and are committed to living for Him.

This evening we will be looking at “The Parable of the Dragnet.” What in the world is a dragnet? William Barclay says, “The dragnet is what we know as the seine net, a large net which has corks at the top and weights at the bottom so that it stands, as it were, upright in the sea. Ropes attached ...read more

I'm Weak But I'm Anointed

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Feb 22, 2022

There may be something that stops you in your tracks. You will come to a point in your Christian walk where you stop and look up to heaven and ask God why me and maybe even do you even care.

Using Money To Direct Our Hearts Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 25, 2022

Jesus tells us not to store up treasure on earth but to store up treasure in heaven. Doing that is certainly a much better investment! But an even bigger reason to do that is that where we put out treasure directs our hearts.

We’re continuing in our series in the Sermon on the Mount and today we’re having the last talk in the series for the time being. Today, I’m going to focus on the first three verses of today’s passage, verses 19-21, and one phrase in particular. In v.19, Jesus says, ‘DON’T store up treasure on ...read more

Please Pass The Salt

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Sep 19, 2018

Jesus takes a simple image – no ambiguity - no hidden meanings - nothing out of the ordinary -- just common, everyday salt. Like the parables, Jesus uses a simple, concrete object to teach the people a profound lesson about the Kingdom of Heaven.

TITLE: PLEASE, PASS THE SALT SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 5:13 Michelle and I enjoy entertaining by preparing meals for our friends and guests.

Embracing The Finished Work Of Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 20, 2022

This was not the despairing cry of a helpless martyr; it is the declaration on the part of the divine Redeemer that all for which he came from heaven to earth to do, was finished. The great purpose of God in the history of man was now accomplished. "It is finished."

Sermon Embracing the Finished Word of Jesus Christ Scripture: John 19:28-30 “Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. ...read more

Legal Counsel For Christians Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 4, 2023

Jesus provides counsel on domestic disputes, sex crimes, adultery and divorce; and He even says something that can be applied to swearing on the Bible in a court of law. Jesus, being part of the court of heaven, knows about legal matters!

I have entitled our message for this morning, “Legal Counsel for Christians.” You may not realize it, but the Bible is full of courtroom imagery. The most noteworthy example is the great white throne of judgement seen in the book of Revelation (20:11-15). Did you know that Jesus will be there ...read more
