The Ultimate Vaccine

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 17, 2021

The Bible warns of something, or someone, like a virus (Satan). It also speaks of something, or Someone, like a vaccine (Jesus). Numbers 21, shares the vaccine for sin; which was used by the Lord on Israel and people today.

I want to begin our message this morning by talking about how a virus works; which I think is an appropriate topic, considering what we’re facing right now in our nation and the world. So, I want to start by saying that viruses do not contain the enzymes needed to carry out the chemical reactions ...read more

What Is Beauty Based

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Men do not claim to understand women, but they do understand beauty. A man does not need to know anything about flowers to appreciate and enjoy them. So also, ignorance cannot rob men of the one thing they do know about women, and that is their beauty.

Every woman wants to be beautiful, and that is why the beauty business is a seven billion dollar a year industry, and the largest advertiser in America. American women actually worship beauty. They will do almost anything to attain it, including fasting if it is necessary. They will try anything, ...read more
