    The Weapons Of Warfare Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,354 views

    This message is intended to bring an awareness of the unseen war that’s all around us, and to reveal our weapons and equipment with which we can engage in spiritual battle and defend ourselves against our spiritual enemy.

    I’m not going to fight in the physical with physical weapons . . . I’m going to fight with spiritual weapons, cause it’s a spiritual fight. - Stephen Baldwin(1) If you attended Vacation Bible School as a child, then you may recall marching into the church building to the tune of “Onward, ...read more

    Building On The Rock Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,352 views

    Those who heed the message of a false prophet are unwise, building their hope on an unstable foundation. Jesus discusses "doing" vs. "doing his will," as many who proclaim to do works in His name will wind up in hell.

    Our message today picks up where we left off, where Jesus warned us about false prophets who are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing (cf. Matthew 7:15-20). When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more

    Why Speak In Parables Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 4, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 203 views

    The parables are more than storytelling devices to help people remember Jesus' teachings. The listener who pursues understanding will receive both healing and blessing, and ultimately come to know God.

    I would like to open with an illustration by Lifeway author Christine Hoover. She tells of the time her husband, Kyle, used her in a sermon illustration and spoke of her inability to perfect a pecan pie. She testifies, “That particular Sunday, I was serving in the nursery, and as parents came to ...read more

    Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 24, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 682 views

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

    Be Ready For Persecution

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 608 views

    When facing persecution, Jesus' disciples (believers) must have endurance and wisdom, be certain to look like Jesus, preach the Word fearlessly, and trust that God is in control. What have we to fear when our life is in His hands?

    I would like to open with an illustration from the book Jesus Freaks: Jaun and his wife Maria felt God calling them to become missionaries in Columbia. Once, while travelling between villages, Jaun met about fifty armed guerillas. He took the opportunity to share the gospel with them, and twenty ...read more

    The Branch Of Motherhood

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 3,472 views

    How can we relate Mother’s Day to today’s text, John 15:1 – 8? We can relate Motherhood to today’s text by thinking of Motherhood as a branch on the Vine that Jesus is talking about.

     | 5,047 views

    Cross-cultural communicators, in the past, have sadly neglected the issue of spiritual-power thinking that the use of reasonable Christianity is the best way to produce change. However, in most non-western societies, the issue of power is central to most
