Elijah's Question For Pagan America

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 24, 2021

Just as the prophet Elijah challenged the people of Israel to make up their minds as whether to serve God or Ba'al, the same question needs to be brought before America today. The time has come to settle the issue and accept the consequences.

This nation is at the edge of the cliff. All it will take is one more step to go over, regulating America to the dustbin of history. For over sixty years since prayer and Bible reading were removed from the public schools by a poor interpretation of the First Amendment by a liberal Supreme Court ...read more

Chief

Contributed by Rev. Timothy Porter on Dec 11, 2020

Names! We all have them.They are important to our knowing one another and to others knowing us. Most of our names are unimportant, that is, we could have any other name on earth and still be the same person we already are.

Learning To Listen

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Dec 21, 2020

Modern society is very functionally oriented, and that tendency has carried over into the way we pray. The Kingdom of God, however, is far more relational, and we would do well to learn that way of being in God’s presence.

Listening Prayer Luke 1:5-23, 76-79 [Read Luke 1:5-23] It was the middle of the morning at the Temple in Jerusalem. A group of about fifty priests were gathered to cast lots to determine who would have the honor of entering into the Most Holy Place to offer incense at the altar. The burning of ...read more

To Him Who Sits On The Throne.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 4, 2021

In 1861 there was in England a man by the name of Reginald Heber who composed a hymn that has always been a favorite of mine.  He used Isaiah 6:1-3 and Revelation 4:8-11, as the basis for this great hymn of the church.  The hymn is “Holy, holy, holy.”

Getting In Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 30, 2021

It is important to people to get in. They wait in lines all the time to get into a favorite restaurant, or into a movie, or some sporting event. Nobody wants to be left out, and everybody wants to get in somewhere.

Everybody wants to get in on the action. Back in 1982 a crowd began to form one Monday afternoon in December at the River Front Coliseum in Cincinnati. By the time the police arrived at 3:00 P.M., hundreds of fans had gathered at the doors, even though they would not open until 7:00 P.M. ...read more

Rewards That Keep On Giving! Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 7, 2018

Some of our rewards are represented by crowns. Whether victors’ garlands or signs of authority — or both— they merit further examination.

Rewards That Keep on Giving! (see note at bottom of page first to suggest that diadems are a sub-category of the broader word garland, which includes but is not limited to a victor's wreath but can be used of royal privilege as well). 1. “More than 40,000 people have claimed 078-05-1120 as their ...read more

Shaping Your Legacy Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 31, 2018

Jacob's blessing of his sons provides an opportunity for hearers to think about their legacy. A legacy is built by choices. Our legacy does not control us. In Christ, we create a new legacy.

SHAPING YOUR LEGACY—Genesis 49 Have you thought about what kind of legacy you will leave for your descendants? I’m not talking about wealth or property, but about the impact we have on the lives of others. We have all inherited a legacy. (Note to preacher: Personalize this!) I am a cheap ...read more

What Are We Going To Do? We Have Great Opportunities Before Us?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Feb 6, 2019

There grows a tendency to lazy idleness in the church and in the families today. Apathy will destroy any spiritual grow. The harvest is before us... what role do you have? That's the preacher's job?

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? THERE STANDS BEFORE US A GREAT HARVEST… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his ...read more

Long Live King Solomon! Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 26, 2022

Solomon had all the advantages life could offer. He had a God- fearing home with his father being a man after God’s own heart. He inherited wealth and he was privilege to the best education. Wholehearted devotion to God was required. Long live King Solomon!

There are some people who are born into a privileged situation. Their parents can afford to send them to Harvard. We call this being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Another way to put is what my friend said to me, you are one of God’s spoiled children. But if anyone was ever born with a ...read more

An Unusual Call Of God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 9, 2022

Hosea knew pain and grief of his love trampled. Hosea poured out his love to his wife Gomer, only to have his trust betrayed. But that is what made Hosea such a unique and powerful prophet. The names of his three children are changed to a blessing in the Messianic hope.

Late one evening I received a phone call from parents of a teenager. Andrew is gone they said, he has run away. When I arrived at their house they told me about Andrew’s sudden change in friends.

Happy Father’s Day! I was a child of the ‘50’s – it was the golden age of television. And it was television that taught us what fatherhood was all about.

Dinah Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 16, 2022

The Tribe of Levi would demonstrate their absolute commitment to Moses' leadership by killing all the people involved in idol worship, but their anger was misdirected.

Dinah Dinah is the seventh child and only daughter of Jacob and Leah. Shechem asked his father to attain Dinah as a wife for him. At this time in history, it is not unusual for marriages to be arranged in this manner. Here, Hamor is making the arrangements for the marriage between Shechem and ...read more
