Be Brace, Speak And Don't Give Up! Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Aug 9, 2017

Sometimes we don't see much visible fruit, or past attempts to witness or minister were not outwardly successful and tempted to hold back our witness or cut back our service. God's words to Paul Acts 18:5-11 are just the prescription.

Series: Acts Chuck Sligh August 6, 2017 TEXT: Please turn in your Bibles to Acts 18:5-11 – “And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 6 And when they opposed themselves, ...read more

Wives, Submit Yourselves To Your Husbands, As Is Fitting In The Lord. Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 23, 2017

I don’t accept the often, to me, lame attempts to somehow explain this passage away and act like the Bible, properly interpreted, has a 21st century view of marriage. It doesn’t. I think the biblical view is beautiful, but it is very much not modern.

18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Wives First of all, there is no problem with the translation here, though I’ll clarify a bit in a moment. Ladies, how does this make you feel? You ok with this? Are you immediately thinking of reasons for exceptions? What if ...read more

Signs Of The End (Part 2)

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 15, 2017

Signs of the End (Part 2) Matthew 24: 3-14 In our last study we began to consider what is commonly known as the Olivet Discourse. Just prior to His crucifixion, Jesus spoke at length concerning the events that will lead up to His second coming. Some who hold to an Amillennialist theology believe ...read more

Living In Babylon: The Right Mindset Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jun 1, 2022

Pretty much everything in our culture is designed and is conspiring to distract you, impact you, and draw you away from God. You need to be ready. You need to prepare your children. You need to prepare your grandchildren. Prepare by having the right mindset.

More Than A Prayer (1) - "our Father"

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on May 31, 2021

The Lord's prayer is one of the first prayer a christian learns to recite. It is a prayer guide given by Chris to his disciples. A careful consideration of it shows that it is much more than a prayer guide. It points us to who God is, from the mouth of his son.

TEXT: Matthew 6: 9-13 "...Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For ...read more

A Square Inch Of Hell Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 7, 2022

Why did Jesus talk so much about hell? It's not a real popular topic even today and its hard to think it would have been then. What possible reason would Jesus have for stressing it during His ministry?

Fear: Going The Wrong Way?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Nov 20, 2019

We have been laying a foundation about unhealthy fear. Fear can be very destructive and cause much damage to individuals. We must never accept finite hurt and fear. We must guard our heart to never accept infinite hope as the norm.

Character-Shaping Wisdom

Contributed by Louis J Locke on Oct 8, 2024

The End Times Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Nov 2, 2023

Someone asked: “What’s all the fuss? Why are some Christians giving so much attention to the end times? There are so many different theories. Everyone thinks his or her theory is right. Where did these theories come from? It is all very confusing.

Depending on what you’ve heard, it certainly can be confusing. However, it should give us great comfort to know that God has a plan for our world, and it is all coming together according to His Divine purpose. Almighty God, who knows the end from the beginning, will make sure that everything turns ...read more
