Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (10 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In this passage of scripture, John deals with something we want to look at very closely and consider in this message.

He deals with the topic of how we are supposed to love one another. Of course much of the Bible deals with this subject, yet it seems to be something we Christians know very little about and those who are not Christians know even less. As we look at our text we want to learn from what it says to ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

The Letter To The Church At Sardis: Appearing Alive, But Actually Dead Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 15, 2023

Sardis was a large and beautiful city in it’s time, with powerful defenses that made the residents over-confident in their ability to defend themselves from invading armies.

If You Want To Grow, Examine What You Think You Know

Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023

Give God the glory for all you are and all you will be. Let us look inside ourselves and find the person God created us to be. If you know yourself, more power to you, but we still need to examine ourselves, if for no other reason than that is what God told us to do. Examine Yourself!

When you know who you are in Christ, you can easily follow the Lord’s Way and Truth. Some of you think, “That’s too hard.” However, I ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your remembrance that Jesus, Himself, said: “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:30, NIV).
