Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

I Will Not Run, And I Will Not Lose (Psalm 11:1-7) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 11, 2022

A psalm/prayer for when running from trouble, is the wrong thing to do. The psalmist, instead, has run to God. He will stand firm, and God will give him victory.

Imagine that you live in a society that's collapsing. The "foundations" of society are falling apart. When you hear the news, it's nothing, except talk about violence, and crime, and drugs. You look around at your city, or your nation, and you know that the end is near. Maybe ...read more

Respect And Obey God’s Delegated Authority (How Christian Ought To Behave Continue)

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 22, 2022

What does obedience to God’s delegated authority look like? How can we be a good example for the world to see? How can we live peaceable with all men especially those in authority? Paul devotes an entire chapter to the subject of respect for authority.

Becoming A Conduit Of Grace

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 1, 2022

One reason why God saved us is to become a conduit of His grace. We’re to become a channel into which His grace is poured and through which it’s conveyed to others. But we can’t give away what we’ve never received or experienced.

My dad used to work as a lineman for a rural electric company. I can remember him mentioning how he would sometimes install conduits. An electrical conduit is a pipe through which wires are pulled. They house the wires to protect them from harm, and to protect people from electrical shock. ...read more

The Reluctant Prophet (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

In Exodus 3, Moses stood before a burning bush while God tells him what He wanted him to do. God asked Moses to lead His people out of Pharaoh’s bondage.

God had a purpose in making this request. • God was deeply concerned about His people’s suffering • God heard their cries of sorrow • God wanted to deliver them from their enslavement To start with, Moses was a VERY RELUCTANT PROPHET! From Exodus 3:11-22 to Exodus 4:1-17, there is a continuation ...read more

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 10, 2022

What if you spent thirty minutes in solitary thought about one of these seven statements? What if you spent thirty minutes in conversation about one or two of these seven statements? Do a wide sweep in your mind just now and see all those witnessing His crucifixion. Take it all in.

Today is Palm Sunday, the day Jesus Christ enters into the city of Jerusalem to make this memorable last week before His crucifixion.

My Hope Is Built On…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

A preacher told of going through his father's effects after his dad died, and among the things he found was his father's 7th grade report card.

Back in the Fall of 1941 this 7th grade report card showed the grading scale on the back of it. There was A, B, C, D, F, and something he'd never seen before: the letter G! Who would have thought there was a grade you could get that was below F. But back then there was. ''F'' of ...read more

Living In The Kingdom 16 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on May 1, 2022

In Part 16, we examine what Jesus said about storing up riches in heaven. The term "riches" mean difference things to different people, but what is important is that we value nothing here on earth as more important than God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Living in the Kingdom 16 Scripture: Matthew 6:19-24; Proverbs 4:23; Mark 7:20-23 This is a continuation of my series, “Living in the Kingdom.” This morning we will examine what Jesus says about riches in His Sermon on the Mount.
