Rest Or Fire

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 6, 2024

This life gives us a choice: Rest or Fire. When we trust in God we can look forward to rest. If we don't, it will be fire. The way I see it, there is really only one good choice!

Alba 3-3-2024 REST OR FIRE II Thessalonians 1:1-10 A father had three very active boys. One summer evening, they were playing cops and robbers in the back yard after dinner. One of the boys "shot" his father yelling, "Bang! You’re dead!" He slumped to the ground. And when ...read more

Finding Comfort In God's Control

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 9, 2022

Mothers often need a break from the cleaning, cooking, laundry. There is a lot to do to keep a house and home under control. Things can go haywire quickly, and not just for mothers. But no matter who you are, you can find comfort in trusting in God's ultimate control.

The Knowledge Of God Series

Columbus was on his fourth voyage in 1504. His ships were grounded in St. Ann's Bay in Jamaica, and the natives revolted and refused to supply the Spaniard with food.

When The Spirit Speaks Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Belinda V. Broadnax on Oct 24, 2024

This sermon focuses on how to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice, recognize the ways He speaks, and respond to His leading. It highlights how the Spirit guides us in every area of life and ministry when we are open to His promptings.

Throughout the Bible, we see a consistent truth: God speaks. He speaks through creation, through His Word, and through His Son. But one of the most profound ways God communicates with us today is through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God, living within each believer, is actively speaking, guiding, ...read more

Dancing With Wolves

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 17, 2023

The false prophets dance around the cost of discipleship, but dancing slippers don’t suit the hard road that leads to the narrow gate, and the wolves never warn their people that they need hiking boots instead

Choosing The Right Path

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 28, 2023

To build a life of significance is not found in earthly relationships, amassing wealth, or good health but in faith in a risen Savior. We all stand at the crossroads to either believe in Jesus and be granted adoption into His family or reject Him and forever spend eternity in hell.

Sermon On The Mount # 4 What Are You Looking At?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 26, 2022

The seventh commandment deals with adultery. This commandment defends the sanctity of the home. The Bible has a great deal to say about the sanctity of marriage.

However, because adultery is widespread across this country, many pastors know that if they preach on such a subject, it may cause some serious problems in their church. But a pastor that is called to preach the Word of God, does not make his decisions based on what the congregation wants to ...read more

Showcase For Saints Or Hospital For Sinners?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

There is a temptation for us to put on our best front in church, a false front, and to especially welcome those who looked really good. But Jesus saw the church as especially for those who don't have it together and we will be wise to follow him.

When I was a boy, my mother used to tell us to be careful about the friends we picked. If you pick a study partner at school who doesn’t want to do school work, you won’t get much done. If you start going out at night and roving the town with kids who like to make trouble, it won’t be long before ...read more

Faith That Works Miracles

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Nov 15, 2021

To receive our miracles, God expects a demonstration of our faith. Even when God appears to be silent, faith doesn’t walk away. Faith catches God at His word. Faith finds reasons to believe when there are reasons to give up.

Matthew 15:21-28 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” But He answered her not a word.
