Spiritual Warfare

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

We must band together as an army to fight the evil of Satan. Satan is roaming free in part because the church is so fractured that it cannot come together for this cause.

The church interpretation of the feeding of the 5,000 in Mark 6:33-44 has always been about the miracle that only Jesus could take five loaves of bread and two fish and make it feed all those people. Unfortunately, this methodology of telling people the meaning of Scripture as black and white does ...read more

Sins Of Omission Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The basic definition of sin is missing the mark. It is missing the opportunity to do good, and choosing instead to do evil, or to do nothing at all. And the nothing at all is often overlooked as being a part of the whole problem of sin.

We are tempted to do evil, but seldom think of the reality that we are also tempted to not do good. It is possible to be doing nothing wrong, and still be living in sin, because of what we are not doing. This is the surprising truth that James hits us with in 4:17 where he says, "Anyone, ...read more

Dialogue With Job

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on Feb 28, 2022

Today we are going to go back in time and journey together with a man called Job. His name means hated or persecuted.

Job lived in a time when his culture believed that prosperity on earth was connected to a person’s goodness and consequently suffering was connected to an individual’s sin or offensive thoughts, words and behaviour. As a result of these beliefs, false perceptions were formed about the Creator of ...read more

The Life Of A Wicked King (King Manasseh)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

There are many wicked characters mentioned in the Bible. King Manasseh has to rank as one of the most wicked men who ever lived on this earth.

He is certainly considered to be the most wicked king of Judah. His grandfather, Ahaz, was a wicked king, but his father, King Hezekiah is considered to be the most godly king of Judah. It's hard to imagine that someone as righteous as Hezekiah could have a son as evil as Manasseh. This ...read more

Don’t Play With Ghosts, Witchcraft Or Mediums

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 23, 2024

The Halloween Season seems innocent and as something laughable, but under the veneer is a real danger. God, who's much wiser than us, warned us to stay away from all witchcraft, necromancy, spirits, and satanism. Warn your friends of this menace.

DON’T PLAY WITH GHOSTS, WITCHCRAFT OR MEDIUMS Deut. 18:9-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. This reminds me of the two old baseball players, Abe and Jake, who made a deal.

Sermon On The Devil Within

Contributed by William Meakin on Sep 12, 2021

Wikipedia defines a devil as: “The personification of evil as it is conceived in various cultures and religious traditions.”

William Ralph Inge, an English author, Anglican priest and professor of divinity at Cambridge once remarked: “There is no law of progress. Our future is in our own hands, to make or to mar. It will be an uphill fight to the end, and would we have it otherwise? Let no one suppose that evolution will ...read more

She Is Cut To Pieces!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

Often we hear disturbing things as we listen to the evening news. Sometimes the news we hear is so shocking that we are temporarily mesmerized by what we hear.

Such is the case in our text. I doubt that anywhere in the scriptures we could read a more disturbing passage than we have in this text. Let me show you what I mean. First, we read about... I. THE CONCUBINE WHAT IS A CONCUBINE? She was a secondary wife. In the Bible, most tribal chiefs, ...read more

Have We Had The Sin Test? Series

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 3, 2022

Scripture firmly censures sin and leaves no justifiable reason for it. Sin generally upsets our walk with God.

This passage of Scripture firmly censures sin and leaves no justifiable reason for it. While this warning notice is frequently deciphered as a litmus test for salvation, John's particular crowd is really Christian believers. Salvation is not a good reason for someone to commit a transgression, ...read more

The seventh chapter of Revelation we have a pause between the sixth chapter and the eight chapter.

The reason we have this interlude in chapter 7 is because chapter 6 closed with this question Revelation 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? In Chapter 7 we have this interlude answering that question. We are told the only ones who can survive the wrath of ...read more
