Living In The Kingdom 10 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 20, 2022

In Part 10 of this series we examine what Jesus said about making an oath. In this message we see that as a Christian our word should be our bond - it should be proof enough of our intention or past actions. We should never have to make an oath to ensure someone believes what we are saying.

"the Power Of Discipleship & Evangelism."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jan 19, 2024

The power of evangelism is one of the most effective ways of reaching out to a world in search of answers with some looking for a reason to live. You cannot give what you do not have, and, to be a successful soul winner, you must know the value of what you are presenting to others.

All Prepared

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jan 26, 2021

Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more

What Is Happiness? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Both Jesus and Paul make it clear that it is more than a right to be happy, it is a duty. It is part of our commitment to Christ to overcome all that would make us unhappy.

Epictetus, the ancient philosopher said, "If a man is unhappy, this must be his own fault, for God made all men to be happy." A Christian writer, St. Bernard, said something similar. "Nothing can work me damage except myself; the harm that I sustain I carry about with me, and never ...read more
