Do You Love Your Wife As Christ Loved The Church Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jul 22, 2019

Christ's love for the church is without limits. He gave His life for the church - before you loved Him.

His love does not depend on your love for Him. Under God's authority - love your wife as service--as giving your life to God. Be thankful for your wife and realize the favor you have received from God."(Proverbs 18:22) A husband must seek to be like Christ if his wife is to be like the ...read more

Doing It Right Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Aug 15, 2019

Sometimes people try to accomplish good goals through unrighteous ways. That’s what Naomi proposed to Ruth, and which Ruth complied with. How did Boaz respond to what amounted to an “Indecent Proposal?” Join us this Sunday to see how a godly person should respond in a compromising situation.

God’s Promise To Prodigals Series

Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 25, 2023

Message 9 in an expositional series through Paul's "second" letter to the church in the ancient Greek city of Corinth where he defends his apostleship and corrects serious doctrinal errors within this young church.

Finish this sentence for me: “This is going to hurt me… (more than its going to hurt you).” That is a lie that parents have been telling since the beginning of time. I grew up in the age of corporal punishment (i.e. paddling at home and at school). And while I’ll admit to having doled out a few ...read more

Living In Troubled Times

Contributed by Shawn Rose on Jan 29, 2011

It seems like the society we live in continues to worsen every day. David felt the same way about the day he lived in. By looking at how David handled his ungodly surroundings, we can get some clues as to how we should respond to ours.

LIVING IN TROUBLED TIMES Text: Psalm 12 It was a dangerous time. The nation was under attack from all directions. Leaders were corrupt and did many vile things. The religious leaders were unfaithful to God, and led God’s people astray. People were killing their own family members. ...read more

Melchizedek – A Better King Series

Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 8, 2006

The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

Introduction If I asked you to name the most important people in the Old Testament I doubt that Melchizedek would be on your list, much less at the top. He appeared once, in Genesis 14 and he was referred once more, in Psalm 110. You could hardly call this “top billing,” but the Holy Spirit reached ...read more

True Success

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on May 27, 2024

Many Christians understand success unbiblically. They have been deceived into chasing success according to the world's standards. They should know that the measure of success according to God is very different from the world's.

Today, I will discuss success. I have been reluctant to discuss this topic because I do not want to be associated with the teaching of "Theology of Success" or "Prosperity Gospel," which is not based on the complete teachings of the Bible. But two weeks ago, I felt the Holy ...read more

How Can We Be Good?

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 7, 2019

In order to grow in obedience and godliness, we must start by having minds that are "alert and fully sober".

In this passage, Peter is addressing a question that each of us struggles with: how can we be good? Because we do want to be good, at least theoretically. Don’t we? We want to be people who do the right thing, who are honorable, who are worthy of respect, people who tell the truth. We want to be ...read more

Memories Can Separate You From Your Life

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 3, 2019

The enemy of soul oftentimes uses our memories against us. He will use them to distract us from what the Lord is trying to do in our lives. This message includes a powerful Word that the Lord gave.

We’re going to begin in Philippians. Worship is very important in developing our relationship with the Lord. God wants us to understand that if you’re going to mature from Point A to Point B, worship is going to be a very important part of that. And if you want to mature from Point B to Point C, ...read more

A Journey Towards Transformation: The Damascus Road (Newly Update 3/23/24) Series

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 25, 2016

In a moment, Paul was transformed, where the confronter became the confronted. The hunter became the hunted. The accuser was now the accused. And while he thought he had the authority, in that moment he found himself powerless when he heard the true voice of authority.

Who Is The Antichrist? Paul, And Conclusions (Final In Series) Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on May 25, 2015

The apostle Paul's comments about the coming man of sin jive perfectly with Daniel's, Jesus', and John's. One would expect this in a Book that proclaims itself to be the Word of God. One author in Heaven speaking His truths through many authors on earth.

7. PAUL: II THESSALONIANS 2 Did Paul ever deal with the question of the antichrist? Most assuredly. And as one might expect, this passage, II Thessalonians 2, has been abused quite a bit through the years. Let’s look at the first 12 verses. In the first place, Paul meant in no way to ...read more
