Life In The Word

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

If we fail to read and observe what is written in the Scripture, then we will be devoid of abundant life. We find life in the Word because the Word leads to Jesus, and it leads to spiritual freedom in Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing some verses out of Deuteronomy 28. In Deuteronomy 28:66-67, God gives a warning to His people, saying, “Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life.

The Injustices Of Life

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 18, 2022

Life can throw many hard things at us. We may even be tempted to let our hope in God fade. We want to scream, “Where is the justice?” As we move along a little further in Joseph's life God would want us to be encouraged that he will always see his children through.

Today I want to talk about the injustices of life. Have you walked through a season when you couldn't seem to catch a break? Did you ever wonder if good days would ever return? Maybe you lost a job around the same time a loved one died. Or you were going through a painful divorce just as ...read more

God Is Light, God Is Love, & God Is Life Series

Contributed by Melvin Amos on Aug 20, 2011

In this series I am going to attempt to teach who God really is. Christians, and those in the world get this view of who they think God is, yet it does not quite show the whole image of who God is.

We say, "well if God is so loving, why is there so much cruelty in the world?" Let’s not make ...read more
