    Third Rail Of Politics Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 429 views

    Let's talk about politics. There are three reasons most pastors and churches don't talk about politics - Money, Job Security, Community influence.

    There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex at the dinner table” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your ...read more

    Designed For Life

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jul 29, 2023
     | 1,082 views

    When we better understand who God is, how and why the universe was designed, then we will better understand ourselves, where we came from, our destination, and how and why we were designed.

    Today we are continuing in our apologetics series on: “What do you believe?” We have been looking at the world and universe from a logical or philosophical perspective and about the evidence for the existence of a Creator God. We will be looking at two passages of Scriptures. One in Isaiah and the ...read more

    The Sin Of Idolatry

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023
     | 1,735 views

    Many Christians today believe the Second Commandment is outdated and maybe even irrelevant for believers today. But if we take a closer look at the principle behind the commandment, we will find most of us engage in this sin more often than we think.

    The Sin of Idolatry Last week, elder Jermaine preached the first sermon in our new series dedicated to the Ten Commandments. His sermon dealt with the First Commandment in which God makes it clear that we are to have no other gods before OR even besides Him; and today, we’re going to take a ...read more

    Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 1 – Genesis Chapter 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 27, 2023
     | 1,231 views

    Every aspect of God’s perfect creation in Genesis 1 has been inverted by man to make monstrosities out of what God created and said, “It is good.” Satan is the one who will destroy and mangle all for evil. We look at these items Satan has mangled, twisted and inverted.

    MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 1 – GENESIS CHAPTER 1 We are now living in a twisted, contorted and inverted world. In fact the change has not been a slow creeping of the years, but a very rapid convolution that has ascended from the pit and into the ...read more

    Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 2 - Genesis Chapter 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023
     | 866 views

    We continue the study in Genesis chapter 1 to see how sinful and deluded man has overturned all that God set in place, inverting and destroying it. We especially look at evolution and God is Light. Man’s inversion of God’s order causes chaos and growing evil.

    MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 2 GENESIS CHAPTER 1 In Part 1 we looked at how man has taken what belongs to God and cancelled God out of the whole matter. The self-deceived in the world dismiss God and His creation and wallow in their own intelligence ...read more

    Sermon; The Pentecost Effect - Paul’s Encounter On The Road To Damascus

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 18, 2024
     | 1,313 views

    Misguided zeal is dangerous. The things that most threaten the Gospel and the abundance and freedom in Jesus Christ are caused by misguided zeal. Some things may appear to be good, maybe even seem godly, yet stand in the way of the gospel.

    Sermon: Paul’s Encounter on the Road to Damascus Scripture: Acts 9:1-11 “Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in ...read more
