We Are Living Epistles

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

Paul said that our lives are written epistles, and that they are being read by the entire world. He said this in order to reveal just how much influence believers can have in impacting the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This evening we are going to discuss the power of the written letter. Have you ever thought about how powerful writing is? For example, consider how writing is used by the news media to push certain political agendas and worldviews. There’s just something about the written (or printed) word that ...read more

Worship As Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

The word "worship" means ascribing worth to God. In America, worship doesn’t cost us much; and so, we have basically forgotten God's real worth. But, according to the Scripture, worship involves sacrifice, which is very costly.

Tonight we are going to come to a better understanding of what it means to worship the Lord. To begin, we must understand what the word “worship” means. The word worship is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word, which is actually a combination of the two words “worth” and “ship.” The term “ship” ...read more

The Biggest Waste Of Time!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

Those who are doing something positive with their life recognize that we are only allotted so many days, weeks, months and years in this life, and we can not afford to waste the precious time that is given to us.

For example: (1) SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME In the name of increased productivity, we humans have battled against time since the beginning of time. For example, if you look at the past 200 years, the invention of the cotton gin, the assembly line, the telephone, and ...read more

Endeavoring To Keep The Unity

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

“The nearest thing to heaven on this earth is a church full of people who love the Lord, and each other.” I believe we all will concur with that statement.

The Psalmist must have also felt this way, because he said in Psalm 133:1, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” But if it is true that a church full of people who love the Lord and each other is the nearest thing to heaven on this earth, it must also be true ...read more

Our Adoption

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

There is the advantage of having been personally SELECTED by their parents. Illus: Have you ever seen anyone go to a dog pound and adopt a little puppy? Once that little ...read more

A Measure Of Faith Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

When asking God for faith, we are correct in identifying that we need faith, or that perhaps we’re experiencing some kind of spiritual problem. However, we don’t need “more” faith. What we need is the faith already allotted to us.

Our message for this evening is entitled, “A Measure of Faith,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that’s sometimes called, “Faith and Duty.” Have you ever felt inadequate in your relationship with God, or perhaps in your ability to bear spiritual fruit? Have you ever felt that you don’t ...read more

Are There Any Similarities Between You And Samson?

Contributed by Dove Inspirations on Jul 6, 2021

Samson , a great man in whose life The LORD invested heavily.

Many times we wonder silently why GOD does not demonstrate HIS power and let our enemies have it. We wonder why HE never allowed the rich man to come back and warn his bothers. We wonder many things, yet the answer is right there in the scripture. GOD has always shown HIS majestic power over and ...read more

Do Not Get Naked

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 10, 2021

Keep your clothes on before men, but bare your soul before God.

I was reminded of a couple of instances where two hyper-Charismatics told women they needed to get naked before the Lord. One was an older man and while the lady knew it was wrong she complied out of respect for the "prophet." The other one told two ladies they had to get naked before ...read more
