28) The Gospel Is Not Of Works! Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

The Bible teaches only the true Gospel which involves every "sinner" being saved: 1) according to God's Grace; 2) by faith in Jesus Christ alone; 3) having absolutely nothing to do with good works. This is what we believe!

Was It A Morning Like This? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Easter: This message shows how, through the resurrection, Jesus has brought light to our darkness and given us good news to share. Jesus seeks a personal encounter, and wants us to experience His resurrection power in our life.

Fortunetellers, Witchcraft, And Magic

Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 25, 2021

The Bible does not differentiate between “good” and “bad” magic. Scripture doesn’t distinguish whether the magic is supposed to be used for good or for bad; it’s forbidden when and if it appears from a source other than God's powers or implementations.

Over the course of your life, you probably have been exposed to discussions on white or black magic. White magic is often considered and described as “good” magic. This is in contrast to black magic, which is a power or phenomenon evoked by evil spirits. Some people believe both variants exist. ...read more

Come And See

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Evangelism is not about having the right words. It is about being faithful in sharing our passion about what Jesus has done in our lives, and then inviting people to "come and see" for themselves what He is all about.

Church researcher George Barna pinpoints the main reason why many believers do not share their faith. He states, “In asking Christians about their witnessing activities, we have found that nine out of ten individuals who attempt to explain their beliefs and theology to other people come away from ...read more
