Faithful Soldiers

Having God On Our Side

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

I guess everyone at some time has thought how nice it would have been to have been born with a “Silver Spoon” in our mouth. This of course, is an expression of being born rich!

Evangelism With The Romans Road

The Romans road is simple to remember if you will underline these verses in your Bible. Ask the Lord to use you to share this simple presentation of the gospel with everyone you possibly can through email, correspondence and through personal interactions

Doing The Holy Hug Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 4, 2013

The "holy kiss" was a common way to show love and acceptance in the early church. What was that "kiss" intended to accomplish for God and how can we (who often don’t do that) accomplish the same goals?

OPEN: For the next 4 weeks, we’re going to be looking at what the Bible says about kissing (pause). You know, the Bible is just FULL of kissing. There are stories where sons kiss their fathers. Friends kissing friends/ brothers kissing brothers. People kissing false idols. Kissing between a woman ...read more

Our King Jesus

Contributed by Emil Boniog on Apr 9, 2006

This Palm Sunday, let us welcome our King Jesus into our hearts if we have not done so yet. Otherwise, let us take this occasion to renew our pledge of allegiance. And let us look again into the King’s AUTHORITY, ADORATION, and ANGUISH.

INTRODUCTION Every year Christians around the world celebrate this event. It is called Palm Sunday because of the palm leaves (John 12:13, mentioned only by John) the people spread on His path.

The Compassion Of Christ

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 18, 2015

When we come to a deserted place, God welcomes us with his healing grace and peace. He renews us and sends us out to share his gifts with the world. When we get tired, we come to God for rest and refreshment, and then the cycle continues.

How many of you have had days where you’re rushing from one appointment, event or chore to another without having time to get rest or have a decent meal? How many of you have had days that have been so busy that you didn’t have time to cook and instead went to a fast food restaurant? ...read more

My Month Of Discipleship -

Contributed by Pastor Amos Dele Dada on Jun 10, 2020

It is with great delight that I welcome you to our month of discipleship. No doubt Jesus ministered to multitudes but he always spends more time with his disciples for obvious reasons. Jesus wants us to be his disciples and as his disciples he wants us to disciple the nations.

Turing Trials Into Triumphs Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 7, 2021

The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

A. In Max Lucado’s book, In The Eye Of The Storm, he tells a story about a parakeet named Chippie. 1. Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming -one second he was peacefully perched in his cage, and the next he was sucked in, washed up and blown over. 2. The problem began when Chippie’s owner ...read more

The Tug Of Heaven Is Growing Stronger Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 21, 2022

If you are walking at a distance from the Lord, then the tugging on you is worldly based The world tugs on the carnal Christian. They who walk closely with God, welcome God’s tugging. The message looks at heaven's tug to be home with the Lord. We also look at death.

THE TUG OF HEAVEN IS GROWING STRONGER INTRODUCTION “When you feel the tug on the line, pull it up.” That order could fit many situations but it would be effective for raising ore in a bucket from a mine shaft.

Enjoy Life In God’s Family!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 28, 2024

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have saved us and now welcome us into the family of God. That’s a powerful point for us to take with us this Trinity Sunday. We are sanctified by the Spirit. We are children of the Father. We are siblings with the Son.

“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.” That’s how the creation account in Genesis 1 describes God’s decision to create human beings.
