     | 607 views

    Cast lots to discern God's will

    Making Decisions Acts 1:15-26 I read a post on a question board that said, “I have come to a crossroads in my life involving several big decisions, regarding my dating relationship, career, and where I live. Typical advice involves “going to God for advise”, which I have done, but I am still just ...read more

    The Problem With Racism Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,925 views

    During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day was last Monday (1/20/25). He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

    Conditioning, Confusion And Condemnation - Devil's Deception Schemes

    Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Jan 26, 2025

     | 667 views

    You know, statistics will show that many people don’t believe in Satan. Or in the idea of a devil. They think he is a made up character. A fictional character in books and movies. That’s the second thing that Satan wants us to believe. That he’s not real.

    Be Delivered from Deception Alright. We begin with our verse this morning in John 1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Let us pray…. Lord JESUS, you are the light of the world, shine forth your ...read more

    Investing your life for the cause of Christ invloves dedication, discipline and determination

    DARING TO GIVE Think for a moment of the most worthless or unnecessary purchase you made in 2024. Perhaps it was an electric shaver that you never use.

     | 445 views

    We cover a lot of ground here. The Israel/Iran war; Donald Trump; the Gog and Magog war misrepresented; the end of the Gog nations; the Second Coming; Armageddon; the Millennium, the restoration of Nature, and another look at the United States of America (from an outsider).

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 13, 2025
     | 527 views

    As Paul shares with the Colossians some of the aspects of his ministry, he provides for us an excellent example of the difference that one person can make. Let's follow his example.

    Introduction: A. Let me start today with a story you may have heard before. 1. One day an old man was walking along the beach in the early morning and noticed the tide had washed thousands of starfish up onto the shore. 2. Ahead, he spotted a boy gathering up the starfish, and then one by one ...read more

    The Temple Of Doom

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 18, 2025
     | 519 views

    The original Temple of Doom has nothing to do with Indiana Jones, but with the biblical Hercules SAMSON, who, despite blindness, with one blow, took out more Philistines in his death than in his life!

    THE TEMPLE OF DOOM Judges 16:18-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Two men who lived in a small village got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So they decided to talk to the town sage. The first man went to the sage’s home and told his version of what happened. When he finished, the ...read more

    Stop Telling God What To Do

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 88 views

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

    There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

    Today, as we move into Colossians chapter 3, Paul turns his attention to the practical realities of our new lives in Christ and our need to seek the heavenly and slay the earthly.

    Introduction: A. Young children are funny to watch (especially when they are other people’s children). 1. One of the first words they learn is “mine.” 2.

    How Is Your Memory?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 12, 2025
     | 127 views

    Did you know our memory is a gift from God? God has given us many wonderful gifts, but our Memory is one of the great gifts God has given us. Just think about it!!! Wouldn’t it be a terrible to live our entire life on earth and when we die nobody remembers that we ever existed!!!

    • This is why we all want to leave behind a good legacy of ourselves so that our family and friends will remember us. • That is why when we die and people attend our funeral service the minister can remind people of the godly life we lived.
