    Be Compassionate To The Fallen Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,026 views

    You cannot lead someone to Christ through criticism, shame or correction. It starts with the kindness of God, as you show forth the compassion and forgiveness of Jesus. “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (Romans 2:4).

    In Romans 2:4, the apostle Paul declared that “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (NIV). If showing forth the kindness of God can lead a person to repentance, then on the opposite side, sharing judgment and condemnation will lead an individual to hardening his heart against the ...read more

    The Mighty Name Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Nov 18, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,621 views

    The name of Jesus is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare; however, His name must not be taken lightly or used inappropriately. Also, Jesus promised to be present in power among His followers whenever they acted in His name.

    When we speak the precious and powerful name of Jesus, it’s not a magic word. We must be wholly submitted to Jesus to use it. - Dean Sherman(1) The name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon in spiritual warfare. Jesus is the Word (Jn 1:1, 14), and by the Word and through His holy name “the ...read more

    Waiting For Christmas

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 969 views

    Puts things in perspective, doesn’t it? The message is the same this Christmas. Because of the Father’s love … whoever takes the Son gets it all. Will you take Him this Christmas?

    Illustration: Kids have a hard time waiting for Christmas. Here are some actual letters that were written to Santa: Dear Santa Claus, When you come to my house there will be cookies for you. But if you are real hungry you can use our phone and order a pizza to go. Dear Santa, I want a Puppy. I ...read more

    9 of 10. The apostle Peter informs those who are faithful in Christ, that they are amply supplied for godly living. God’s people are amply supplied for godly living thru their faith. But, ?What does Christian faith acquire for God’s people? A provision of God, acquired thru faith in Jesus, is...

    Don't Doubt It!

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 19, 2024
     | 802 views

    It can be hard to convince some people. Like doubting Thomas, they say, “I won't believe it until I see it!” Even then you can't convince some people. As they say, “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.”

    Cain And Abel Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024
     | 1,706 views

    Even though Abel’s life was short, his faith still speaks. Abel’s blood calls out for justice from God. Our own sin demands justice from God, and it was our sin that put Jesus on the cross. Yet the blood of Jesus speaks a better message. A message of mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and salvation.

    As we continue in our Dust to Life series, we will be looking at Genesis chapter 4 today, the account of the first two brothers in human history: Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:1-16 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a ...read more

     | 3,766 views

    Thirsty souls, looking for something more in life, are all around us. And we have the water they seek? Here's how we can make a difference for them and for eternity!

    One of the questions I ask, and even ask now, as I near the end of my life, is “So what? So what? In other words, what difference did my life make, for good or for ill? I suspect I’m not alone in asking these questions. I think one of our greatest needs in life is for meaning, for significance, ...read more

    You Are A Beloved Disciple Series

     | 4,257 views

    Valentine's Day: Peter came very close to viewing himself by his failures instead of seeing himself through the eyes of Christ. He finally came to realize that he was a beloved disciple. And Jesus sees you as cherished too!

    This morning I want to address the topic of our identity in Christ, concerning how we are a people covered by grace, and how we are deeply loved and cherished. Many believers walk about feeling defeated. They come down hard on themselves and never accept the forgiveness that God wants to offer ...read more
