    "The Common Salvation..." By Dr. Winson Butler

    Contributed by Winson Butler on Oct 26, 2004
    based on 15 ratings
     | 2,502 views

    Uncle George used to say, "Going faster when you’re lost won’t help a bit..." What makes more sense is, if I’m going to tell others "I’m saved..." I need to know all I can about this thing we call Salvation. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction I never really understood what he meant, I just nodded my head as if I knew what he was talking about. My Uncle George had a saying, "Going faster when you’re lost won’t help a bit..." When you figure that one out, call me! There’s something else that’s confusing some more than ...read more

    Pray Boldly!

    Can our prayers really change an all-powerful and all-knowing God’s mind? How does prayer work? We’re going to see prayer in action as we examine a prayer offered by Abraham to the Lord. He prayed boldly and the Lord responded. What can we learn from that prayer about the prayers we offer?

    Nearly 1000 years after Abraham lived, the Lord wrote through the psalmist, “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15). The invitation was not a new one from the Lord. It was an invitation that God had extended to his people from the beginning of ...read more

    Sermon # 32 - A Life That God Rejoices Over Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 2, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 402 views

    We are made in the image of God and our emotions too are expressions of the way God feels about us. It’s good to examine ourselves to see if God rejoices over us or is He grieved about us. Also the plans we make should always be in alignment with God’s will so He does not have to scorn them.

    We read in Zephaniah 3:17, “The LORD your God is mighty in your midst; He will save; He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love; He rejoices over you with singing.” (AFV) We also read in Psalm 2:4, “From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.” (GNB) It ...read more

    Are You Being Consistent?

    Sometimes it seems that the time it takes to get our prayers answered is much longer than we anticipated. So we begin to faint in our minds. This message is about not giving up when you are not seeing the results.

    Please turn to Mark 4. Smith Wigglesworth was asked how is it that you walk in so much faith? So the three verses we’re going to read in Mark 4 was his response to anyone who asked him that question. Mark 4:26-28 is a continuation of Jesus’ teaching about the sower who sows the word. (26) And he ...read more

    The Atmosphere Of Faith

     | 23,943 views

    Many Christians believe they are "faith people" when in reality they are living in more unbelief than they are faith. This message looks at the one thing causes us to be "faith people" or people who are living in unbelief.

    You are the blessed of the Lord and I want to say something on the frontend for you to remember as we go through the message. You often hear “God does extraordinary things through ordinary people.” How many of you have heard that? It’s not true. You see, we are born ordinary. We are born with a ...read more

    A Blameless Conversation Series

    Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Aug 14, 2011
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,472 views

    There is an utter necessity for Christians to live a pure and blameless life before a world that wants to demean the name of Jesus. We need Jesus, we need to proclaim Jesus, and we need to represent Jesus!

    Application Points: - We need Jesus - We need to proclaim Jesus - We need to represent Jesus Text: 1 Peter 2:11-12 1 Peter 2:11-12 11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 12 Having your conversation honest among the ...read more

    The New Commandment Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,164 views

    The New Testament repeatedly tells us to "love one another," but why bother? Why do I constantly need to be reminded?

    A woman once told of her experience as a Church secretary. When she answered the phone she’d say, “Jesus loves you, Sharon speaking. How may I help you?” But one day she got distracted because she was talking to others in the office. When the phone rang she answered: “Sharon loves you, Jesus ...read more

    We Can Live In Perfect Peace

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 3, 2017
     | 9,956 views

    Jesus says the world will treat His followers just like it treated him. But He says that we can have peace in the midst of the persecution. Sadly, we don't see peace operating in the lives of most Christians. Why not?

    If you spend any length of time listening to or reading what the media (conservative and liberal) are saying about politics, which is most often focused on President Trump, and social issues like racism, the anthem protests, BLM, the Alt-right, etc., you might believe our country is teetering on ...read more

    OPEN: There was a famous singer back in the 70’s named Jim Croce. He wrote songs like “Time in a bottle,” “Don’t mess around with Jim”, and others. One of the last songs he wrote began with these words… “Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road, I've got a name, I've got a ...read more

    The message is about what I have missed regarding the Christmas story.

    Pastor asked me to deliver a Christmas message tonight. So, I’m going to begin by putting Barry on “Front Street.” For those of you who are not familiar with the phrase, “Front Street” simply means I’m going to share something with you that’s personal and not particularly flattering about Barry. ...read more

    Kindness: Overcoming Selfishness Series

     | 3,830 views

    Mark Twain said, “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear, and the blind can see.” Many think it only take willpower to be kind. No, it takes supernatural power to be kind.

    Did you see the recent news article about the cabbie that found $187,000 in cash? Yes, a Boston taxi cab driver dropped off a homeless man at a hotel. The homeless man had just finished living in a homeless shelter for the past six months when he inherited the incredible sum of money. Yes, you ...read more

    What does it mean that we are the "Temple of God?" Why would God refer to us that way and what can it teach us about how we should live our lives?

    OPEN: In the heart of Kentucky is a facility dedicated to housing hundreds of bars of pure gold --- weighing more than 4,600 tons. Does anybody know what that facility is called? (Fort Knox) When we think of Fort Knox we often visualize it as being nothing more than the vault that holds that gold, ...read more

    Patience: Overcoming The Frenzied Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 5, 2023
     | 2,985 views

    By a show of hands, are you by nature a patient person? If you were to assign a percentage to your level of patience, what would it be? Is anyone at 100% on the patience level? Let me encourage you today by saying this no one is born patient. For patience is a work of the Holy Spirit.

    When you see a patient person, you’ve seen something rare. For it takes supernatural power to be patient. We live in a world obsessed with speed. We become angry if the video doesn’t download immediately or the fast food lines take too long. And who likes waiting in a doctor’s office, or waiting ...read more

    Adam and Eve ate one of the most expensive meals in history. Why did they do it? And was there a more expensive meal than that one?

    OPEN: A few years back George Beane of Palmdale, California, stopped at a local Burger King and ordered 4 sandwiches at the drive-through window. Total cost of his bill: $4.33. However, when he handed the girl at the drive up window his debit card she absent mindedly punched in the numbers ... and ...read more

    Faith Or Works? Series

     | 10,028 views

    In James 2, we see one of the most challenging passages of Scripture. However, when seen in context, James' point becomes clear and understood.

    The English language can be a very challenging language to learn. Part of that is because many ordinary words that we use in everyday conversation can have many different meanings. Take the word “run,” for example, which according to dictionary.com, has over 179 different meanings for the word. ...read more
