    How To Conquer Anger

    Contributed by Charles Wall, Jr. on Nov 12, 2020
     | 1,298 views

    While all biblical principles are true & relate to how we are to live, usually there are a handful we make as a foundation to our lives so that rarely a week or even a day goes by where 1 or more of them are not influencing how we live. They are the guiding principles of your life.

    How to Conquer Anger by Yielding Rights Philippians 2:5-7 As you read the Bible & have had it taught to you over the years, you, like me, have encountered numerous Biblical principles to live by. I calculated this week that in the 30 years I’ve been here, I have preached over 2,100 sermons ...read more

    Everyone keeps saying and we keep hearing over and over the phrase, “this is the new normal!” There is an old saying, “if it walks, talks and acts like a duck...it’s a duck!” What we are witnessing is not the new normal, what we are witnessing is the devil getting all of his ducks in a row!

    As we look around the world in the day and age in which we live, we find ourselves questioning everything we’re told. The truth is we have never had more access to information, but have never been more weary of the information we are being told as truth. The go to response for knowledge and truth ...read more

    What does it mean to be a church member? What is expected of me? As members of a church we each hold a unique place in the church. As members of a church we each have certain responsibilities in the local body of believers.

    I AM A CHURCH MEMBER For many people, church membership simply means that we attend church, and we will do so until we cease to be happy where we attend, then we will find another church to attend. We think that being a church member is something that gives us the right to vote on matter that ...read more

    Dealing With Disappointment

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 5,267 views

    We’ve all been disappointed at times in life. Disappointment can only happen if there is some kind of expectation. When that expectation is not met, disappointment occurs. Unlike discouragement, disappointment is not a sin. Even Jesus was disappointed at times with the disciples.

    Many have set out to accomplish great things, but have been disappointed in the outcome. It is said that Alexander the Great wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. Alexander was disappointed. Hugo Grotius, the father of modern international law, said, “I have accomplished nothing ...read more
