Armed And Dangerous Series

Contributed by Scott Spencer on May 4, 2015

There are armies armed for battle that are not of this earth. This is not a new enemy. This enemy has been around since the beginning of time. And in this battle there is more at stake than there was in all our wars combined.

Don't Open The Door

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 17, 2021

Healing From Anger Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 27, 2021

One of the mightiest emotions we have inside of us is our anger. We feel intense anger when something horribly wrong or unjust is done, say the sexual abuse of a child, or some blatant racial discrimination, or your wife has betrayed marriage vows and committed adultery with another person.

The Psalms are inspired by God and therefore meant to instruct us how to think about God and the entire world. On the other hand, the Psalms are poems or songs and are meant to awaken and shape our feelings about God and the world. We have focused in the previous messages on the feelings of ...read more

The Danger Of Anger Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 15, 2021

God has given us the ability to feel anger for good reasons. But these feelings of anger need to be controlled and channeled in the right direction.

A. One day a woman was telling her friend that she had called her husband at work to tell him she had been in a fender bender with their new car. 1. Her friend asked her if her husband got mad. 2. The wife said, “Well, he didn’t say much, but his boss later told me that the smoke alarm went off in ...read more

God Loves A Cheerful Giver

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 18, 2021

The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

Demons Defeated Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

We think demonism is not for today, because we have been brainwashed by our culture, but the fact is, the New Testament is more relevant than modern psychology in explaining why we live in a society so filled with perversions.

Gender Dysphoria is the psychiatric term for what is commonly called transsexualism. This is the obsession that one has been born as the wrong sex. This is so deep-seated that the only cure is thought to be sex change surgery. In all the literature there is only one report of a cure by means ...read more

Acceptable Anger Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

Is it possible that we eliminate the vice of anger, but in so doing also eliminate the virtue of it? It is obviously not Christ like to be losing your temper and blasting people, and seeking revenge. But on the other hand, it is also not Christ like to never be angry at the forces of evil.

I had an awful temper as a child. When I was in first or second grade I broke a pool cue over the head of one of my brother's friends, and for years after I was reminded that I caused the scar on his forehead. My older brother came close to getting even worse. In one of our fights he picked ...read more

Overcoming Your Wilderness Experiences

Contributed by Maria Saunders on Oct 8, 2015

We find periods in our lives where we feel if we have to overcome one more hurdle, Lord, I don’t know what I will do. I label these periods of times as ‘wilderness experiences’.

Numbers 32:12; Joshua 5:6 As we journey through this Christian walk, we will have moments of joy, moments of happiness, moments of sorrow, challenging moments, and even hard-pressing, neck-turning times. We find periods in our lives where we feel if we have to overcome one more hurdle, Lord, I ...read more

Wednesday - An Extravagant Giver And A Ruthless Taker Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 21, 2022

These two stories of the extravagant giver and the ruthless taker are excellent examples of what we should and should not be. Both people were very close to Jesus, but ended up having very different reactions to him. Jesus loved them both in spite of what they did to Him.

A. We might oversimplify things by saying that the world is made up of two kinds of people: givers and takers, but there is some truth to that statement. B. I love hearing stories about big tippers and I try to be a good tipper myself. 1. A man named Greg Rubar was a waiter at D'Amico’s ...read more
