     | 3,143 views

    Jesus tells us that the Father is looking for “true worshippers.” True worshippers, according to Jesus in John 4:24, are those who worship the Father “in spirit and truth.”

    In the early 70’s comedian Flip Wilson played the part of a character named Reverend Leroy, who pastored The Church of What's Happenin' Now. But today our cities and counties are swarming with “Reverend Leroys'' and churches that might rightly be called The Church of What's ...read more

    Christmas - Part 2

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 9, 2020
     | 1,076 views

    We have learned that Paul is showing through the practice of his day regarding a child who is heir to the family’s fortune that Jews and Gentiles were in their “spiritual childhood” before Christ...

    (Gal 4:1 NKJV) Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, (Gal 4:2 NKJV) but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more

    Kind And Comforting Words Series

     | 3,977 views

    The oracle given in Zechariah 1:12-17 is expounded. These comforting words are applicable to God's people today. We sometimes wonder when God will intervene in our behalf just as the Jews did in our text.

    Have you ever been treated unjustly and wondered why God seemed to ignore the oppression? When Babylon conquered Israel in 586 BC, they were extremely cruel to the captive Jews. Those Jews were experiencing God’s correction in their lives. But the Babylonians went way beyond that. They exacted an ...read more

    The needs of the body of Christ are abundant but God has taken care of that by strategically positioning the members in the body in order to meet the needs.

    Have you ever done any renovation? I remember a friend of mine who was good at renovating--sometimes too good. He and his wife bought an old house in Catonsville and began to renovate it.

    The God Who Is

     | 7,703 views

    There's a lot of confusion in our culture about God. Movies, media, news stories, in our schools and even in churches all distort the God of the bible. This message shares God's identity as He has revealed Himself in scriptures through His name.

    “The God Who Is” (Heb 13:8 NIV) "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Heb 11:6 NIV) "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." I. There is ...read more

    A review of Paul's understanding of the Virgin Birth of our Lord. The impact of being a "son of God" through faith in the Risen Christ.

    “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
