All We Like Sheep Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

We, as Christians, can go astray like sheep. Sin keeps zapping us like an electric fence, but we eventually become numb to it and cross over to enter the dangers of the world. The Shepherd will then react. So, how will He react?

To begin this evening’s message, I would like to share a verse from the Old Testament. Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” All of us have gone astray from God at some point in our ...read more

Are You Babe Like Or Babyish

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 1, 2013

When it comes to your Christian walk are you babe like or babyish? It's an important question that must be answered.

The Bible is full of figurative language or imagery, used to describe Christians. Christians are compared sheep, soldiers, athletes, brothers and sisters, workers, slaves, children and babes.

Prayer - Praying Like Jesus

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 22, 2013

This is the 3rd talk in a series, and this week the focus is on learning to pray by paying attention to the Master Teacher himself, and by learning from him. Then, we actually need to learn by praying!
