Sermons on Emissaries Of God:

Gathering With God’s People Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Feb 16, 2022

The Psalms of Ascent have an upward motion. They begin in Psalm 120 with the psalmist crying out in trouble far away from Jerusalem, and they end in Psalm 134 with the psalmist offering up praise in the temple courts.

Gathering with God’s People Psalm 122 We are studying the Psalms of Ascent together and when we reach Psalm 122 something odd happens. The psalmist arrives in Jerusalem. There are fifteen Psalms of Ascent, and we are only on the third psalm and we’re already there! How can that be? The Psalms ...read more

Forcing God’s Hand

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at the account of someone who was given a promise by God that he would receive a great blessing. But he, along with his wife, took matters into their own hands, and tried to get ahead of God, leading to strife.

In our message this morning we’re going to focus on how we need to have patience when following the Lord. Hebrews is a book of the Bible that frequently talks about following God in faith, and we read that those who are patient will be able to “inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:12). In Hebrews ...read more

Discerning God’s Voice

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Feb 27, 2022

There are many different voices fighting for our attention, so we need to train ourselves to hear God’s voice over everything else. In our lesson we'll learnt hear not only what the Lord is saying, but also how we are hearing it.

Discerning God’s Voice Mark 4:24; Luke 8:18 There are many different voices fighting for our attention, so we need to train ourselves to hear God’s voice over everything else.

Receiving God’s Grace

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

God’s Grace Will Overcome

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Grace can assist us in overcoming life’s problems by helping when all else fails. When we’re at the end of our rope, from struggling and trying everything humanly possible and exhausting our own resources, then grace steps in.

Every time I became frustrated it was because I was trying to do something myself . . . instead of putting my faith in God and receiving His grace. - Joyce Meyer(1) In our message this morning we’re going to look at grace to overcome life’s daily challenges. Grace is simply defined as, “The ...read more

Responding To God’s Promises Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 21, 2022

Think back to the last time you had an “unanswered prayer.” How did you respond before God? Augustine’s mother may have been angry with God that her son went to Rome after she prayed he not go. For us, next time, let us remember David’s response.

Augustine in his confession, writes about as a young man he was intending to travel to Rome. His mother was against it and prayed against it. She prayed earnestly that he might be prevented from going. Her reason being that she feared what effect the temptation of sin in the depravity of that big ...read more

Contributed by Norman Bernad on Sep 27, 2022

A farmer who wanted to sell his donkey. A potential buyer showed up and looked the animal over. He asked if he could hitch him up to the wagon and see how he worked. The farmer did so and climbed up into the wagon with the customer handing him the reins.

God’s True Light Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Nov 16, 2022

Let the truth of the true light set you free. Living in lies, living in darkness is no way to live. In fact, it's not living at all. The freedom of the true light is the freedom from sin.

I wonder if you have the same problem that I have. I'm not talking about falling asleep when you're supposed to take out the trash, but rather not being able to find a working flashlight when you need one. This is a common problem, you know. I have a tote in the garage, so right when I need ...read more

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 5, 2022

Maybe you have been pursuing the Promised Land for a while; and much of your journey has been filled with spiritual heartache and pain and you may be wounded. If so, then you need to receive spiritual healing from the Lord.

If God has ever placed a calling on your heart to serve Him, then He is inviting you to enter a spiritual Promised Land.

God Is A God Of The Mountains And The Valleys

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 6, 2022

The Christian life is filled with MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCES and VALLEY EXPERIENCES.

We all enjoy the MOUNTAIN TOP experiences. In God’s Word we find the writers used many superlatives to describe the blessings God bestows upon us. We are told that a good writer never uses too many superlatives for fear of overstating their case. They are to be reserved for special occasions ...read more

God’s Got This!

Contributed by Howard Gwartney on Aug 5, 2021

Showing God’s Kindness Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 6, 2022

David knew God’s kindness. He was not undisputed king because he deserved it, but because he of God’s kindness. What better way to respond to God’s kindness to him by showing another kindness. Mephibosheth once lived in favor in the royal family.

The most famous story of the life of King David is the David and Goliath story. Almost every Sunday school child could tell you that story. But what about David and Mephibosheth? It is not so well known. For one thing it is easier to stay Goliath than it is Mephibosheth. Just try to say ...read more

Standing For God’s Truth

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 16, 2023

We live in world of compromise where people are letting go of standards, values, and morals to have recognition, position, titles, clout, and prestige. Society has pushed for the lowering of standards with the so-called premise of improving equality, acceptance, and accessibility.

Standing for God’s Truth By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Psalm 119:1-4 says, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
