Be Clothed With Humility Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 21, 2022

We need a fresh glimpse of the eternal and a reminder that God is our creator and we are the creation. God seeks humility in his children. Humble yourself under God’s mighty hand and he may lift you up in due time.

If you think like country singer Mac Davis that it is “Hard to Be Humble when you are perfect in every way”, that is a good sign that you need this passage of scripture on humility. Your accomplishments, recognitions and achievements can be obstacles to the humility that God desires us to ...read more

A Message About the Great White Throne

There could be no more solemn passage to be read in the entire Word of God than this passage nor is there a more somber message to preach. Many things have taken place to get us to the passage.

Our Place Of Refuge (Part 2)

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 9, 2022

This week, I’d like to pick up our study on how the Cities of Refuge resemble Jesus, how He is not only our sure refuge, but also how He is our judge, that is, our great High Priest. I’d also like to take a closer look at what Jesus rescues us from and is a refuge in, and what sort of refuge He is

Our Place of Refuge (Part 2) Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHVs4uvp08 Last week, I began a two-part message talking about how Jesus is our refuge in these troublous times we find ourselves in.

#44 Okay, Let’s Roll Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Apr 25, 2021

2 self-serving disciples tried to talk Jesus into giving them the greatest seats of honor and power. In this text, Jesus teaches His disciples that the way to be first is to be a servant and a slave, a concept that upends the world’s and the apostles’ values.

A Great Awakening Sermon V: Reshaking And Remaking Christians In The 21st Century Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Apr 29, 2020

In times of "doom and gloom", perhaps Christians need to be shook up to the extent that we refocus attention on being remade in the likeness of Jesus Christ so that we choose God's way of grace sufficient for every need.

RESHAKING AND REMAKING CHRISTIANS IN THE 21ST CENTURY It’s still fresh in my mind and most likely I have told it before but it’s always worth sharing: Granny Canup with her blue bonnet upon her head was our neighbor in Anderson, South Carolina. When I was nine ...read more

The Millennial Reign And Judgment Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 25, 2023

Study #11: This study examines the Millennial Reign. Satan is bound and believers reign with Christ for 1000 years. Afterward, the devil is released and rises up against the saints in one final deception and rebellion before the Judgment.

NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Tonight, we will be looking at Revelation chapter 20. We are going to start by examining what happens during the 1000-year period after the battle of Armageddon, by observing how Satan is bound and ...read more

On The Road To Jerusalem Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 25, 2023

This is the last section of Mark before the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Mark gives us a picture of Jesus on the road to Jerusalem with courage and determination. Along the road to Jerusalem we learn lessons about greatness and service.

Introduction: A. If you would humor me, I’d like to start with a little bit of “road” humor. 1. Why did the chicken cross the road? I don’t know, why? I don’t know—I asked you first! 2. What do you call a chicken crossing the road? Answer: Poultry in motion. 3. Why did the bubblegum cross the ...read more

Contributed by Uwomano Okpevra on Oct 10, 2023

The theological foundation for the Great Commission can be traced to specific passages in the New Testament, which encapsulate the essence of the Great Commission - Jesus Christ instructs his disciples to disseminate the gospel to all corners of the world.

The Church Mission

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Mar 10, 2024

The church is failing in its mission to preach and teach the Gospel to every nation, people, and tongue as Jesus commanded, because we are busy preaching feel-good prosperity-based messages.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; ...read more

Most Unusual Funeral Service Ever Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jul 22, 2024

What could be so unusual about a funeral service that it would get our attention? It is known as The Great White Throne Judgement.

There is nothing pretty about a funeral, but they are necessary. Some people have some strange ideas about funerals. 1. Some want nothing but a graveside service. 2. Some want to be cremated and have their ashes placed in a jar. One man had his ashes flown in a plane and scattered. 3. Some want to ...read more

S.h.a.r.e.

Contributed by Dave Nichols on Aug 5, 2024

This morning our text will be a very familiar piece of scripture for most of us here this morning. But why it may be familiar, I would make the argument that most of us would be quilty of not putting it into practice. And this piece of scripture is actually found 5 times in the New Testament.

I hope you enjoyed our journey through 1st John over the last several weeks, as we examined the Genuine Christian, I know that I did. However, since we finished the book last week, I guess it was a good time to finish the series. This morning our text will be a very familiar piece of scripture for ...read more

We Have Overcome

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 2, 2024

Tindley wrote, “I'll overcome some day”. Pete Seeger and Joan Baez sang, “We shall overcome”. And the apostle John wrote, “You... have overcome”. I like them all. But I am drawn most to the words in scripture that says the overcoming has already happened.

Alba 9-1-2024 WE HAVE OVERCOME I John 4:4-6 "We Shall Overcome" is a gospel song that is associated heavily with the U.S. civil rights movement. Wikipedia has an article that says the origins of the song are unclear. It was thought to have descended from "I'll Overcome Some ...read more

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 24, 2022

God will always remember His people, even when trouble feels overwhelming. We may face hard times, troubles, and tribulation, but we don’t face them alone.

Have you ever been in a store and see a child that has gotten separated from his parents? The fear is very evident on the child's face as well as the parents’ face. It's a horrible feeling when the child turns around and can't find his parents. They frantically look through every ...read more
