    Speech / Prayer delivered in Augusta Maine at the National Day of Prayer

    You know the Bible teaches that in the last days before Christ’s return our world would go topsy-turvy and become perilous. Well, I think that’s a perfect description of the time in which we are now living. - It is during times like these that we need an anchor. - It is in time and days like ...read more

    Preaching Of The Cross

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024
     | 959 views

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more

    How To Put Out The Fire Of The Tongue (Part 1)

    Contributed by Tony Miano on Apr 30, 2001
    based on 94 ratings
     | 5,229 views

    One way to organize this passage is to divide it into three primary sections. First we see James deal with the pride of speech (vv. 1-2a). Second he deals with the power of speech (vv. 2b-5a). Lastly, he deals with the perversion of speech (vv. 5b-12).

    How To Put Out the Fire of the Tongue (Part 1) James 3:1-5a Preached by Pastor Tony Miano Pico Canyon Community Church April 29, 2001 Introduction: My girls and I have begun a new hobby of sorts.
