A Prayer For God’s Will

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

When it comes to praying for God’s will, we often find ourselves at a loss for words. Perhaps, the way to make the greatest impact is to ask for a blessing; to pray for the spiritual and material resources we need to enlarge the kingdom.

I’ve entitled our message this morning “A Prayer for God’s Will.” When we think of God’s will we often have in mind how the Lord wants to use us for His glory; how God wants to include us in His plans and work through us to make an impact for the kingdom. But when it comes to praying for God’s ...read more

"Looking For Some Empty Vessels!”

Contributed by Sean Dees on May 1, 2021

From these passages I find more than a story of the sustaining power of God, but I see this event as a type of prophecy to the outpouring of the Holy Ghost as prophesied by the latter prophet Joel in 2:28 and the fulfillment on the day of Pentecost.

Words Of Wisdom For Graduates

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 10, 2021

In this passage, Solomon is acting as a teacher instructing his students about life. He concludes with his observations about the purpose of life; and in his closing remarks we find four words of wisdom that can be applied to graduates.

Today is our Graduate Recognition, and I feel led to share from a passage in Ecclesiastes. This book is believed to have been written by Solomon, since Ecclesiastes 1:1 says that these are “the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” To get started, I think these words can ...read more

The Greatest Questions In Life

Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 9, 2020

I believe these three questions are the oldest to ever face the minds of men. 1. How can a man find God? 2. How can a man be just with God? 3. If a man die, will he live again?

Job was a wonderful man of God. The Lord said of him, some things which he never said of any other man of the Bible. Job 1:8; job had suffering come to his life, I guess that no man has ever suffered like Job did, outside of the Lord Jesus Christ. He suffered the loss of his loved ones all at once. ...read more

A Word Of Hope Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 11, 2020

In the midst of this pandemic, where do we find hope? What do we have to grasp onto to steady us? Where is our light in all of this darkness? Where is our anchor, our lifeline in this storm? In the Bible.

Well … I don’t have to tell you, the whole world as we know it is undergoing something I’ve never seen in my lifetime … and I hope that I will never see anything like this again in my lifetime … however long that might be. In two months, everything has been turned upside down and inside out as ...read more

Obey Your Thirst

Contributed by Rev. Timothy Porter on Dec 23, 2020

Many people do obey their thirst. They drink up what everyone around them calls love, they pursue what their neighbors call happiness, and they try to find meaning and significance as defined by Dr. Phil, Oprah and MTV.

Jesus - Prophet, Priest, And King

Contributed by Austin Lamos on Jun 16, 2021

Jesus In Scripture we find that Jesus held three primary offices. These three offices define, or rather are defined by, who Jesus is, and what he did. These three offices, or roles, are Prophet, Priest, and King.

The Lowly King Of Kings Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

When people came looking for the Messiah they expected to see “a reed shaken in the wind,” or a wealthy and mighty king. Instead of finding a wealthy king, they found the Christ who was meek and humble; born in a place of low esteem.

Our message for today is a reflection on the lowly and humble estate of our King of Kings. To begin this morning, turn in your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 9, and we will look at verses 1-2, and 6-7. What I am about to read are the words of the prophet Isaiah concerning the entrance of our Savior ...read more

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 17, 2025
