    Greed Or Need: Keeping Up With The Jones Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 3,456 views

    Keeping Up with the Jones is an American saying that simply means when you use your friends or neighbors as a benchmark for success. Oftentimes, we look across the street or inside our social circle and become dissatisfied with our lives because we don’t have the same financial success.

    What do you think of when you think of Dallas? For many, Dallas will be connected to the iconic J.R. Ewing who appeared in the famous March 1980 Who Shot J.R. episode and an estimated 83 million people wondered and watched the famous “Dallas” oilman. In the minds of many, the Dallas brand has been ...read more

    Faith Under Fire Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Oct 28, 2024
     | 833 views

    This sermon begins a short series of the main stories people know from the book of Daniel. This set up "young Daniel and his 3 friends." It teaches how Nebuchadnezzar changed the minds of children and how Daniel helps us to stand our spiritual ground instead of conform.

    Faith Under Fire (Daniel 1:3-7) Intro: A. The northern Kingdom of Israel fell to the power of Assyria around 722 BC after almost 20 years of a slow demise. The kingdom fell because of sin and God allowed them to be taken into captivity. The southern Kingdom should have taken a great warning ...read more

    We are living in a time when pews once filled with laughter, prayer, and praise now sit quieter than they used to. Where are the people? Where are the families we used to see every Sunday? The friends we used to hug? The children we watched grow up? Where is everyone?

    Be Careful Of Divisive Spirits

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023
     | 1,208 views

    The goal of a divisive person is to cause conflict. "I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching you received. Keep away from them" (Rom. 16:17, GNT)!

    People that participate in divisive arguments have an unhealthy interest in creating strife. However, a mature, faith-filled person recognizes that participating in contentious discussions will not end the matter. With the knowledge of God and the wisdom of the Lord, we understand that calmer ...read more

    When David Almost Became Saul

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,202 views

    David allowed the same spirit of revenge that was on Saul to influence him into murdering all the men of Nabal’s house. God sent Abigail to save him from ruining his character. May God give us such friends! who'll save us from doing wrong!

    WHEN DAVID ALMOST BECAME SAUL 1 Samuel 25:13-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A boy refused to take a bath. His mother insisted. He still objected. His mother asked, “Why do you think you shouldn’t?” 2. He replied, “My Sunday school teacher said we shouldn’t do anything in private we wouldn’t do ...read more

    Creation Series

    Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Jan 5, 2024
     | 2,327 views

    Genesis 1:1 is simple, short, yet profound. (I will lean on Core 52 resources during this series; I also want to thank Dan Raymond, who is a friend of mine, for some of his resource help. James E Smith's book on the Pentateuch was helpful in this message)

    INTRODUCTION • Today, we begin our Core 52 journey together. • Before we dove in, here are some housekeeping items to cover. • Each Sunday (except on Faith Promise and for a couple of weeks in December), Jerry or I will cover a chapter in the Core 52 book. • We will follow the sequence in the book: ...read more

     | 1,444 views

    A New Year is always an exciting time for us. WHY? Because last year was not a BANNER YEAR FOR MANY!

    A New Year is also exciting because the past year brought many difficult times into people’s lives. It was a year when: • Some suffered a divorce • Some suffered a financial setback • Some suffered some serious health problems So a New Year is a time when people can put all these bad things behind ...read more

    Patience In The Battle

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2023
     | 2,429 views

    One of the things that the Church, from my perspective, does not see how patient Satan is when it comes to seeing his destructive agenda manifest in our country and the world. This message examines looks at one example of this.

    Let’s open this evening with Hebrews 10:35, the foundational verse for this message. It says, “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” I was raised in a small country church in Tennessee in the 1960s and 1970s. When I say small, I’d ...read more

    This Restoration study continues with some of the glorious revelations for Israel in the future. God gathers His people and settles them from the Nile to the Euphrates. We are introduced to THE BRANCH and will look into that later on in detail. Messiah reigns as King in Jerusalem.

    THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL – JEREMIAH – PART 2 – Chapters 16 and 23 and 29 – I WILL GATHER AND RAISE UP SHEPHERDS We continue these studies in Jeremiah looking at the future glory of Israel in its restoration. {{Jeremiah 16:21 “Therefore, behold, I am going to make them know - This time I will ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,729 views

    This message was penned and preached to remind us that being in everyone else's business and judging them is not as Christian as we think. There are texts that address this but this message is for those holier than thou people in churches everywhere.

    Can‘t You Read The Sign!? Mark 3: 1-6

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 21, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 23,167 views

    A number of times, the religionists had attacked Jesus, accusing Him of teaching a false religion. I guess they often wondered… “Hey Jesus! Can’t You read the sign!? We have rule against that kind of stuff!” In Mark chapter three we see yet another confrontation.

    While thinking about this message I was reminded of a song from my hippy days… And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do" So I took off my ...read more

    A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025
     | 174 views

    This is a challenging passage. Surely Paul doesn't mean that we have to actually live like that?! What it all points us to is a false gospel that is too often preached today - "forgiveness-only" belief. What does this passage tell us about what real salvation looks like?

    A COMMON BELIEF TODAY: I am “saved” and unchanged. - Matthew 7:15-20; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 13:6-9; John 15:8. - This passage makes us uncomfortable. It sounds harsh and unrealistic. We will delve into how we are to understand it as we move forward. - A good place to start is a major reason why ...read more
