Holding On To Hope Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Aug 15, 2022

To get through your groaning, focus on the glory to come.

Some time ago, George Barna polled adults: “If you could ask God one question, what would you ask?” The top response was, “Why is there pain and suffering in the world?” I can’t think of anything more universal to the human experience than suffering. In fact, many people point to the problem of ...read more

The Shepherds Vs. The Wise Men: The Report Goes Out To Working Men, Elites, And Political Leaders

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 14, 2022

The gospel is information we receive and then decide what we’re going to do with it. We read this map, these directions saying, you’re a sinner, you deserve hell, you will go there without Jesus, but here’s what you do, come to Jesus and receive Him as your savior...

Recently I received some information, a report that was very good. Chelsey, and Karen, and my mom, and others had gone out for the Stuff a Blue Goose event, for the first time at Meijer, and with the help of MSP they had raised over $1,000 in donations and 300 toys. That is what you would call good ...read more

Developing A Passion For Others Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

What makes feet beautiful is when they become leathery, dusty, gnarled in taking the Gospel across the street… across the fence post… we must go across our community… across the country… and across the continents.

Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis (July 1, 1818 – August 13, 1865) was a Hungarian physician now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. He is known as the savior of the mothers.

The Story Of Simon Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

If you make any effort to live for God, you will face opposition. If you’ve never run into Satan, it’s because you and he are traveling parallel in the same direction.

In the early part of Acts, we are introduced to 5 brief biographies that I want to introduce to you now. If you enjoy reading a biography, then you’ll benefit from these short bios. Think of these five men as the Mount Rushmore of the early chapters of Acts, if you will. A week ago we saw the ...read more

The Battle Belongs To The Lord

Contributed by Gary Holt on Apr 30, 2021

God's people had to trust God's plan and they did just that. God gave them the victory and no man could take credit for the fall of Jericho. It was God's plan and God's victory.

Psychic Not-Line

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 9, 2021

Are things like horoscopes and astrology ok? Are things like Ouija boards and holding séances just harmless fun? What does God think about psychics and fortune tellers? Let's find out.

Week 7: Walk By Faith, Not By Sight Series

Contributed by Daniel Habben on May 23, 2021

Does God really exist? How do I know if I can't see him?

The noted actor and movie director Woody Allen once expressed his skepticism about God’s existence like this. “If God would only speak to me—just once. If he’d only cough. If I could just see a miracle. If I could see a burning bush, or the seas part. If only God would give me a clear sign, like ...read more

Eschatology 9 Of 16 The Tribulation Period

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 13, 2022

“Boom Boom” Mancini, was considered to be one of the greatest boxers in his weight division. He could take a punch from the best of them, and he could throw a punch as hard as any of them, if not harder than most.

• In fact, he was fighting a fellow one evening in the ring and he hit him so hard that it knocked him out, and the powerful blow from Mancinni led to his death. The experts said that he threw an average of 150 punches per round. He literally beat his opponent into submission. Those who boxed ...read more

"What Time I Am Afraid, I Will Trust In Thee.”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022

This is one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible, “What time I am afraid I will trust in thee.”

I looked back into my archives and saw where I preached from this same verse in 2013. We do not like to talk about our fears because they make us look weak, but everyone live with fear. However, it is not just the weak that live in fear, some great men live in fear. Illus: God said of Job’s ...read more

A Generation Of Worshippers

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Who may ascend the hill of the Lord and worship? The answer is those who are of the generation of Jacob. The term “Jacob” is a general classification for any generation in which many people turn to God and seek to worship Him.

We’re going to begin our message tonight by reading through our passage of Scripture, which is Psalm 24:3-6: 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. ...read more

An Overwhelming Minority. Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

Daniel chose to put all his weight on the side of loyalty to God, and that is why he is a classic example of an overwhelming minority.

Larry Love, an associate of Billy Graham, saw an unusual and striking piece of advertising in a London railway station. It pictured a copy of a very exclusive and expensive magazine. Beneath the picture were the words, "Read by an overwhelming minority." It is a catchy and clever idea ...read more

The Eternal City: A Real Place? What Will It Be Like?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 23, 2021

Is there really life after death? Or is this life all there is? It's a question that we ignore, we toss aside, and eventually ponder. It's a question that draws out fear and emotional outrage. It's a question that affects how we live and what we live for.
