Behavior Becoming Of Citizens Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 12, 2016

The church faced difficulty within a culture loyal to Rome. While they were subject to Roman authority, their primary responsibility was to the Sovereign Lord. We are citizens of two worlds, and our allegiance belongs to Christ. We must always honor Him.

Bear in mind that he and Silas had been beaten and imprisoned there. Philippi being a Roman ...read more

Our Obligations In Christ

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016

I approached this text with fathers in mind, for a Father's Day message. Our society needs men who understand their spiritual obligations and are willing to invest in the lives of others.

A Pathway To Success - Beyond Uncertianty

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 28, 2020

Someone has well said, “Nature forms us. Sin deforms us. Education informs us. BUT ONLY CHRIST TRANSFORMS US.” The Lord doesn’t expect us to do everything, but He does expect us to do something. He expects us to be more alert to the opportunities around us to pray, live and witness for Christ.

The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a pathway to success. I believe this is also a pathway for our success as we prepare the church to make its own mark. Timothy had been left at Ephesus to manage the affairs ...read more

Grace At Work 14 - Pastor Teacher Series

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Feb 16, 2013

A Conversation Of Hope Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 29, 2020

Much had changed since Naomi and Ruth returned from Moab. Neither woman had any idea what the Lord had in store for their future and how their lives were about to change.

In the beginning verses, Naomi and Ruth had returned from Moab with little hope or confidence in the future. Little did they know that God was ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

These days it has become very popular for people to take a cruise.

What makes these cruises so special, is that for those days on the cruise people get to live the pampered life. When they get back from the cruise, it takes them several days for reality to set back in, and they start to live in the real world again. In our text, we see the apostle Paul is on a ...read more
