    Do Not Say, "I Am A Youth!”

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,367 views

    This message looks at a teenager who was called by God. Jeremiah was like any other youth; no different than teenagers today. But the Lord was able to use him in an amazing way! God wants even those who are young to serve Him.

    I would like to begin our message with a short account concerning a great evangelist in recent church history. “Dwight L. Moody was once asked, ‘How many converts did you have last night?’ Moody answered, ‘Two and one half.’ The other person said, ‘Two adults and a child?’ ‘No,’ Moody replied. ...read more

    When the disciples were beaten and imprisoned for their spreading of the gospel, they were told not to mention the name of Christ again.

     | 732 views

    Ministers collect most of their knowledge from two places.

    (1) THEY LEARN A LOT FROM BIBLE COLLEGES AND SEMINARIES When young pastors graduate from Bible College or Seminary, they are excited about preaching and teaching all the things they have learned from God’s Word. But as much as they might learn in Bible College and Seminary, also- (2) THEY LEARN ...read more

    Reasonable Expectations

     | 2,177 views

    Life has become very frustrating for many professing Christians, primarily because their EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT REASONABLE.

    Illus: Reaching the end of a job interview, the Technical Recruiter asked a young Engineer fresh out of college, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The recruiter ...read more

    God will use whatever it takes to get our attention

    God uses strange ways to speak to the hearts of people. The Bible is filled with story after story in which God used unusual methods and means to get the attention of certain people. In Ex.3:10 we see Moses – God used a burning bush to speak to this disgraced prince. In Numbers 22:28-31 in the ...read more

    I read again this week the wonderful story about Ed Kimball, a Sunday school teacher.

    He won a young fellow to the Lord who became the well-known D. L. Moody. After evangelizing America, D. L. Moody started to evangelize England. There in England Frederick B. Meyer heard his message. One of the illustrations that Moody used did not at first stir Brother Meyer. Then one of his ...read more

    God Pursues The Lost

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,205 views

    This message looks at how people run from God when He is only trying to rescue them. What are some of the ways in which the Lord pursues the lost? And what happens when He actually catches the person who’s running?

    This morning we are going to look at some words of revelation from the Lord spoken by the prophet Elihu to Job. In Elihu’s words of wisdom, we find a message that can be applied to those who are lost without salvation in Jesus Christ; and I wish to begin this sermon with an illustration: One ...read more

    The Smiths

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,315 views

    Demetrius “Smith” represents someone whose judgement is clouded by selfish desires. Alexander "Smith" represents someone who doesn't want to be alone in his sin; who makes it a point to cause other Christians to stumble.

    I’ve entitled our message for this evening, “The Smiths.” Have you heard about the Smiths? Take for instance Zipporah Smith. “Who’s that?” you may say. Well, her husband, Moses, was used by God to deliver the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. You see, Zipporah was a Kenite, and the word ...read more

    Don’t Worry… Be Happy! 2 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,625 views

    In the first message, I preached on having a Happy Church. We saw that the first thing we have to do is recognize the purpose of the church.

    WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH? Many folks have many different ideas about what the purpose of the church is. For example: (1) Some seem to think the purpose of the church is for us to come together and see if we can build a more beautiful church building than the church down the ...read more

    When Sir Winston Churchill was a young man, he attended a preparatory school, and although he was in the lower third of his class, he graduated and went on to the university.

    After a successful military career and after having been elected Prime Minister of England twice, near the end of his life he was invited back to Harrow (the preparatory school) to address the students. His coming was announced, and all the students awaited the arrival of this great orator. The ...read more

    A man gave a little boy a piece of candy. The mother was embarrassed, because the child immediately stuck the candy in his mouth and ate it, and did not thank the man.

    The mother immediately said, “What do you say to the nice man who gave you a piece of candy?” The little boy seemed somewhat puzzled as to what she wanted him to say, but suddenly a smile came on his face, as if he finally realized what she wanted him to say, and he said, “Can I have some ...read more

    The Call To Rebuild

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 19, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,834 views

    God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. But amidst the challenges, it takes uncommon trust and surrender to tackle what God is asking. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

    Someone once said, “Build. Destroy. Rebuild. I’ve mastered the art of bouncing back. Now, to master the art of not having to” (Dau Voire). This is probably how a lot of us feel. We’re tired of striving and struggling, and we’re tired of having to rebuild. But rebuilding is necessary in order ...read more

    Five Ways God Speaks To Us (John 1:1-18) Series

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 19, 2021
     | 3,980 views

    We have no idea "who" or even "what" God is. We cannot get to Him but He comes to us through creation; conscience; chosen people and their Bible; Christ and Conversion. Until we are converted we know ABOUT God but we don't know God personally.

    GOD’S BEST WORD TO US John 1:1-18 Bob Marcaurelle bmarcaurelle@charter.net (Writing in the AD 90’s to counteract the teachings that Jesus could not be both God and man.

    Daniel 5: Being A Person Of Substance Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 3, 2020
     | 7,616 views

    Belshazzar is "weighed in the balance and found wanting," while Daniel is strong in his faith in God. Our substance is found in the kingdom of God, as described in the Beatitudes and Sermon on the Mount.

    BEING A PERSON OF SUBSTANCE—Daniel 5 ***A few years ago, a best-selling book was titled, “The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook.” It gave advice from experts in a variety of fields, all telling “How to”: How to…fend off a shark, deliver a baby in a taxicab, jump from a moving car, survive if a ...read more
