Four Special Blessings In Heaven

Contributed by David Nolte on Nov 6, 2020

Heaven, a blessing in itself, is filled with blessings beyond measure, but here are 4 special blessings.

We all prefer receiving blessings more than we enjoy being cursed. At least those among us who are not masochists who take pleasure in being hurt or punished. That holds especially true when we refer to how God works in our lives. I have never yet sought the Lord’s curse, but constantly request ...read more

Help! I Can't Pray Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul knew what he was saying when he said we know not how to pray as we ought. We can't depend upon prayer. We need to depend upon God. Prayer is not the answer, but God is. Prayer can even be a danger to the best in life.

One of the perplexing of all life's paradoxes is the fact that God often answers our prayers by refusing to answer our prayers. One of the greatest examples of this in history is that of Monica praying for her son Augustine. All night in a sea side chapel on the North African coast she pleaded ...read more

The Contemporary Christ Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Confession Of Sin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

One Man Shall Die For All Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

Good Friday: All of us have ideas about the person of Christ and His work. Because of their presuppositions, the chief priests and Pharisees were unable to see the "truth" that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah and Savior.

I’ve entitled our message this evening, “One Man Shall Die for All.” We call the day that our Lord died on the cross Good Friday, but there was nothing good about it for Jesus. This day is called “good,” because it’s good for us. In a prophecy of the Messiah, in Isaiah 53:4-5, we read, “Surely, ...read more
