Why God’s Word Matters Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Sep 13, 2011

Because God’s Word mattered to Jesus, it should matter to us and we should do everything we can to live according to the principles we find there.

Over the years, I’ve found that one of the issues that Christ followers struggle with the most is how we are to apply the Old Testament in our lives. In fact, five years ago when I preached a series of messages based on questions submitted to me by all of you, that was the most common question that ...read more

God's Discipline

Contributed by Don Baggett on Oct 20, 2009

We have to discipline our children, and sometimes the things they do are so funny, we have to hold back our laughter in the midst of discipline. There’s nothing funny about the sin that God’s people commit against Him.

People are funny, and the funniest people, in my judgement are children. As much as we love our children, we soon find out that they require discipline. When my oldest son was born, I took his picture with me to show people. I showed it to an elderly black lady, and I’ll never forget what she ...read more

To God Be The Glory Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 10, 2021

Power and glory belong only to God. He himself calls his Church, and rules, sanctifies and preserves it through his Word and his Spirit. Therefore, in return for the goodness bestowed upon us, we ought to thank and praise God, directing all our efforts to the recognition and glory of his name.

Our Prayers, Our Passions & Our Praise The position is that the end of all things is at hand. The miserable destruction of the nation foretold by our Saviour is now very near; consequently, the time of their persecution and our sufferings is but very short. The world itself will not continue ...read more
