    God Uses The Unexpected

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

     | 6,461 views

    Many times those who are underestimated and considered failures go on to accomplish great things in society. The same principle is true in the kingdom. The Lord oftentimes uses people who are rejected to bring glory to His name.

    Once we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and as we come to know the Lord by spending time with Him, we will reach a point in our life where our love will overflow in a desire for service. It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

    In a previous sermon, Peter spoke to us about "Our relationship to each other."

    He made it clear that these things in the remaining part of the chapter apply to "ALL". He admonished them in verse 8, to: (1) "All" be of one mind (2) "All" have compassion (3) "All" to love as brethren (4) "All" be tenderhearted and humble in ...read more

    Hope Set Before Us

    We need tradition to guide us, but often our traditions lie in the past fifty to seventy years. Our tradition should reach back further; like 2000 years ago! The anchor for our traditions should be in Jesus, not the inventions of men.

    This evening we’re going to discuss the topic of “tradition.” If you have ever seen the musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” then you probably recall a rather large Jewish man singing about tradition throughout the entire performance. You may recall that tradition was a dreaded word to the young ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 30, 2020
     | 2,348 views

    How great is God? Is God good or evil? Is God near or far or both? Can God be three and one? Does God have a plan? Did God really create everything that is? Does God provide today? Let’s discuss some questions about God as revealed in the Christian Bible.

    Who is God? Part 1 How great is God? Is God good or evil? Is God near or far or both? Can God be three and one? Does God have a plan? Did God really create everything that is?

    Getting Life Right: No Rules, Just Right Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 18, 2020
     | 4,712 views

    The Old Testament is not a book of rules, but a guide to WHO God is, WHAT righteousness is, and HOW to bring righteousness into our lives. Jesus fulfills the law, but affirms its continuing relevance.

    Getting Life Right: NO RULES. JUST RIGHT. Matthew 5:17-20 Some years ago, Outback Steakhouse had an advertising slogan: “No Rules. Just Right.” The slogan conveyed a relaxed attitude, symbolized by the lack of a set closing time posted on the door, and leaving no customer request unfulfilled. NO ...read more

    David appears to have been both directed by God and enticed by Satan to conduct a census. A census was begun, David was smitten in his conscience, and the nation was severely punished. What's our take-away from this story?

    Let Your Faith be Proclaimed to the World “First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.” Romans 1:8 Apostle Paul says to the church in Rome.

    Walking on Water Matthew 14:22-33 The phrase “Walking on Water” has become a proverb. It is spoken of someone who seems to prevail against all odds. It is to do the impossible.
