     | 3,992 views

    Ever seen a "Mizpah" necklace? It may not mean what you think it does!

    Introduction: Have you seen anyone wearing a “Mizpah” necklace recently? These items come and go in popularity and I frankly haven’t seen any of these in quite a while. But some time ago, these items were popular. They came as a pair of necklaces, and on each necklace there was a piece of a coin or ...read more

    Trust And Obey (2 Of 2)

     | 1,949 views

    This morning we looked at something we talk, teach, preach and sing about, that is, “TRUST AND OBEY!”

    We dealt with the TRUST this morning, but this evening we would like to deal with the OBEY part of that song. Something that Peter and the early disciples understood that today’s church does not understand, is that WE CHRISTIANS ARE TO OBEY GOD. They understood that you obeyed God: • When it was ...read more

    Faith Like A Child

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

     | 5,435 views

    We need to consider how our waning faith can become a hindrance to others. Jesus provides a warning about hindering other believers who have the faith of a child. It is also a warning about hindering children from coming to Christ.

    Back when I was in college, one of my favorite songs was “Faith Like a Child” by Jars of Clay. Listen as I share some of the lyrics to this song: “Dear God, surround me as I speak; the bridges that I walk across are weak. Frustrations fill the void that I can’t solely bear . . . Sometimes, when I ...read more

    In Christ #6 (1 Of 2 Of Eph. 1:15-23)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 1,639 views

    This will be the first of two messages dealing with verses 15-23. Paul had the same desire of any good pastor WHO KNOWS THE LORD. That is, HE KNEW THE LORD INTIMATELY and he wanted this congregation to also know the Lord INTIMATELY.

    Have you noticed that one of the hardest things in this life to do is keep good news a secret? Illus: Benjamin said, “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” Illus: Walter Winchell said, “I usually get my stuff from people who promised somebody else that they would keep it ...read more

    He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 1

     | 2,259 views

    Someone said, "Most men blame all accidents on fate - but feels personal responsibility when he makes a hole-in-one on the golf course."

    It is absolutely amazing how and when we use that word, "responsibility." Illus: That word used to be used when a child was attending school. On one side of the report card all the grades for the subjects, such as math, English, science and social studies were listed so you could tell ...read more

    Getting Acquainted With God

     | 1,949 views

    Occasionally I lose things and can not find them. Since my children are grown up and no longer live with us, I have no one to blame it on.

    Thank God for wives who can find things! It seems the older we get the more we forget things! Illus: Sometimes I feel like the woman who stood at the bottom of the staircase and she could not remember if she just came down or was going to go up. I must also confess that there are days that I ...read more

    This teaching holds truths which every judge in America should be told, every law student should be taught, all workplaces should be govern by and family members should desire to understand.

    Fruit of Repentance Authenticity of True Confession and Repentance Many have prayed for years and years for family, friends, co-workers and sinners in general who have cause tremendous grief for others.

     | 4,198 views

    The nation of Israel is a nation bless by God. Did you know that God actually led them by a CLOUD BY DAY AND A PILLAR OF FIRE BY NIGHT.

    No nation can boast and say that the Lord led them the same way. Other nations were led by kings. However, when Samuel grew old, and Israel looked around and saw other nations had kings, they decided they WISH they also had kings like other nations. Looking around and wishing for something ...read more

    An Identity Crisis

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 26, 2022
     | 5,959 views

    Identity answers the question “Who am I?” My identity is based on how I view myself, the foundation I build my life upon, and where I find my sense of worth, acceptance, and well-being. Everything changes when we find the King!

    Sermon: An Identity Crisis Scripture: 2 Samuel 9:1-13 “One day David asked, “Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive—anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 2 He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul’s servants. “Are you Ziba?” the king asked. “Yes sir, I am,” Ziba ...read more

     | 6,378 views

    When we all get in trouble we start to look for a way to get out of trouble. But where we look for help makes a big difference.

    Illus: That reminds me of two Canadians, Elmer and Huey that live in Newfoundland. They were walking down the street in New York looking for a way to make some easy money. They only had $350 between them and when it was gone they would be broke and on the streets. They saw a sign on a store ...read more

    This sermon explores principles that can help us get "unstuck" in life from a little book by Travis L. Thomas titled "3 Words for Getting Unstuck: Live Yes, And!" alongside the text of Hebrews 10:1-18.

    Unstuck By Grace I. INTRODUCTION: Today is my birthday! I am 43 years old. I am a Gen-Xer. We were born at a transitional moment in history where technology began to boom just as we were born.

    Your flame will always burn brightest when you are actively pursuing your ministry and pouring your life into others. Stoke those flames and get on fire for God. Avoid flame killers, pray for them and avoid them.

    GOD MAKES HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE For our ‘God is a consuming fire’ (Hebrews 12:29) ,”Who makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.” (Hebrews 1:7).
