Hold On To What God Told You

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on May 22, 2020

When the Lord Speaks a Word into your life, you can trust that he will deliver.

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. In other words, He went into a ship with his disciples, and they moved from where they were out into the deep. If we ...read more

Prayer (1) Gideon’s Prayer Regarding A Fleece

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 7, 2020

Most commentators criticise Gideon, feeling that his prayer demonstrates a lack of faith. But given how positively the New Testament views Gideon, we should be inclined to take a positive view of his prayer. It's a very sensible prayer, and a great example to us.

Today we’re starting a short series on prayer, and looking at a prayer which Gideon prayed. It’s in Judges 6:36-40. Introduction First, let’s look at the situation Gideon was in before we look at his prayer. We may think, ‘We pray, God answers. Simple.’ But when we look at what was going on at ...read more

The Lord Reigns Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Dec 17, 2021

Psalm 97:1-12 shows us the coming of the Lord to judge unbelievers and to reward believers.

Scripture Today is the Fourth Sunday of Advent in 2021. We continue in our sermon series, “Christ’s Advent in the Psalms.” Today I want to examine Psalm 97. This Psalm is one of seven so-called “Theocratic Psalms” (Psalms 93, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 100). The theme of all seven Psalms is: “The ...read more

The Laborers In The Vineyard

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

This parable appears only in the Gospel of Matthew. The Lord Jesus would often take some unusual things and use those things to teach us a spiritual lesson.

In this parable, He used WORK and WAGES to teach us a spiritual lesson. Illus: When it comes to labor and management, I think about the man who applied for a job. It went something like this: • Manager: "I'm sorry I can't hire you, but there isn't enough work to keep you ...read more

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 23, 2021

Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? You probably have an idea. But I want to make sure today that you understand exactly what it means for you.

Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? Well, I imagine most of us have a feel for this. It’s because Jesus was all about loving and giving.

I Keep Him So He Can Keep Me

Contributed by Charles Jones on Dec 25, 2021

When the times get hard (and they do get hard), I know it’s just temporary. It’s like when the rain comes, it can rain a lot or it can rain for days, but sooner or later the rain will stop and the sun will shine again.

I Keep Him So He Can Keep Me" He is ever present with me; at all times He goes before me. I will not live in fear or abandon my calling because He stands at my right hand. The Voice Bible Psalms 16:8 How many of you know that life is full of ups and downs, one day theres, joy and ...read more

Incompletion Of Conquest Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

Here, the Israelites became distracted from their purpose by a desire for worldly gain. They sought a more luxurious existence, with the ease of someone else doing all the work, and they ran from battle and confrontation.

In 1797 the governor of Louisiana granted Daniel Boone ten thousand acres of land in Missouri; however, he failed to make the trip to New Orleans to complete the title. He instead became distracted by an opportunity to be appointed chief of the district of St. Charles.(1) While he was ...read more

Three Ridiculous Excuses

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 13, 2022

There are times we hear when someone is in prison for life but because of forensics they are released.

The development of DNA testing and the ability to use the science of the body’s cells to solve crimes has made significant changes in the criminal justice field. Forensic is a wonderful thing, only God knows how many ennocent men who have died for something they did not do. But I want to show you ...read more

Fixed With Gold

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jan 16, 2022

This thought is a work in progress. I have been meditating on how the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold displays the gospel. I'm sure I will preach this thought again and better.

Fixed With Gold In our home there are a few dishes that are highly prized. They have value to us because of the giver. There are a couple of glasses that were gifts from my father-in-law to my mother-in-law. There are stories behind them. There is a candy dish Sister Burnett gave us recently. ...read more

True Repentance

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 25, 2022

When we think about the Ninevites we generally think of two things:

(1) First we think of Jonah, who was swallowed by a large fish because he refused to obey the Lord’s command to go preach to them. (2) Secondly we think of their ranking with the most wicked people who ever lived on earth. Illus: Once the Ninevites would capture a town they committed ...read more
