    The Lifestyle of a Backslider Mk. 14:54; 2 Pe. 2:20-22 What does it mean to backslide? Backsliding in scripture is compared to adultery.

    This message looks at the essential ingredients needed to walk with God.

    Ask yourself… How does God see me? Not how my family does, nor my friends, nor the pastor… but God. What does He think of my actions, words, decisions, feelings, and thoughts. Look at what God says to the 7 churches… REV. 2:2, 9, 13, 19; 3:1, 8, 15 Go

     | 5,604 views

    Jesus Christ in good faith chose the first 12 disciples---soldiers to run their course fighting the good fight in good warfare in which the standard of faith was questioned as little faith when so much more faith was needed in those days and today.

    SOLDIERS FOR CHRIST (Memorial Day) by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (May 24, 2015) “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (II Timothy 2:3, King James Version (KJV) [Timothy exhorted to constancy]). Greetings In The Holy Name Of ...read more

    A Big Crowd Meets a King I don’t know about you, but I like watching movie bloopers. There’s something funny about watching other people mess up. Many times these bloopers make it through the final cuts and show up on the screen. In a movie starring Jack Nicholson, he walks past an automatic ...read more

    Quick question: Who was Othniel? Give up? Most people would. He's not all that memorable to most believers... but he was to God. God chose him to be the very first judge of Israel. But why him, and why should we care?

    OPEN: “Muhammad Ali” was probably one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in the sport's history. Not only was he a skilled boxer, he was very good at self-promotion, and he’d use clever pieces of short poetry to catch the imagination of his audience. For example, before his fight ...read more

    This is the season of Peace. Peace on earth, good will toward men. Peace is the most sought-after ‘commodity’ in our hectic lives. Mankind will go to great lengths to compromise for the sake of peace.

    Biblical Text: Philippians 4:1-9 “Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women ...read more

    Following Jesus: But What Happens When I Blow It? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 21, 2022
     | 1,912 views

    Even a saint like Peter "blew it" when he denied he knew Jesus. Eventually he was restored to a place of service for the Lord. What happens, or what should I do, when I blow it?

    Note: (Edited from a sermon preached in August 2022 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO) Introduction: One reality few of us as believers want to admit is that first, we were born sinners. Paul wrote “All have sinned and come short of God’s Glory (Romans 3:23, paraphrased)” and none of us would ...read more

    Why did that accident happen? If God is so good why didn't He step in & keep it from happening? God has the power to do it, doesn't He? If He has the power, then why didn't He? Does God really care about us?

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 A. I thank God for this congregation for what you mean to me & for the privilege I have of serving here. I hope that you realize what a special blessing we have to be with each other, & to worship the Lord ...read more

    Does the existence of God also mean that He knows how we, His creatures best function? Does that mean that He loves us? Does it mean that we can get to know Him personally? Jesus gave a simple two step process that one should think about when confronted with the truth of the Gospel.

     | 1,561 views

    Many of the things that we think will fill us up are indeed pits that drain us. We should seek after wells that have Living Water. In the midst of internal strife in the church at Philippi, Paul shows us how to seek the things that are lovely while I'll give you steps to reduce the negativity.

    “Pits & Wells” (Title Slide) [Slides are available upon request, these cues denotes where slides are shown/used.] It’s a common narrative to think that most of the news that you see on TV is bad news. Well, that’s not only a common viewpoint, it’s backed up by statistics. Studies show that ...read more

     | 1,250 views

    In Ezekiel 37, God shows His power to bring life from death. Through Jesus, God brings life to our brokenness, hope to our despair, and revives our spirits. Let's embrace God's Word and the Holy Spirit's presence, stepping out of spiritual death into a life filled with purpose, joy, and eternal significance.

    Hey guys, have you ever seen a zombie movie? You know, where the dead come back to life? Well, today we're going to talk about something even cooler than that. We're going to talk about how God can bring life to what seems dead. And no, I'm not talking about zombies. I'm talking about us, our ...read more
