    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Sep 20, 2013
     | 3,802 views

    A church can compromise itself out of existence and find itself at war against God.

    Unto the Church in Sardis, Write Revelation 3:1-6 Introduction Sardis was the fourth church to which Revelation was sent. It had at one time been a very powerful city, the capital of the Lydian empire. It was ruled by a man named Croesus whose wealth was the subject of the proverb “richer ...read more

    "Our Identity In Christ (Ii): We Are Sinners And Need God’s Forgiveness”

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021
     | 2,581 views

    Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the second sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

    The second element about "Self-Identity" that we need to understand is that we are human beings who have sinned and need God's forgiveness. Let's read Genesis 3:6 - “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for ...read more

    "First Things First" Series

    Happiness is a choice. If you do not have it, it is no one else’s fault. It is because you have chosen otherwise. Arrange your priorities and choose the things that really matter.

    “First things First” Philippians 1:20-30 Here we find the great apostle Paul in prison in Rome. There would be some similarities in prison in that day and today but certainly there are some differences as well. In Paul’s day, the prisoner was often shackled, in chains to a guard. This guard had ...read more

    Followers of Christ need to make shre we are ready for His return.

    On Tuesday of the last week of our Lord’s life, as He and His disciples were leaving the temple, one of them said, “Look Teacher! What massive stones ! What magnificent buildings!” Jesus responded, “Do you see all these great buildings? Not one stone here will be left on another, every one will be ...read more

    Paul is in prison, yet he has an Ambassador attitude, meaning that he sees himself as is a representative from a foreign land. Original written by Jerry Shirley.

    Just When I Need Him Most Acts 23:10-11 Imagine, with me for a moment that you are sitting in your favorite chair, watching “wheel of Fortune” and suddenly you hear a loud crashing sound as the battering ram knocks your door off its hinges. In the midst of the confusion you hear voices ...read more

    God's Mercy For The Lost - The True Story Of A Man Lost At Sea

     | 8,178 views

    Joe was alone in the Pacific ocean, ten miles from shore, without a life jacket, and worst of all, no one knew that he was overboard.

    I’ve known Joe for twelve years. Joe and his brother Dan own an appliance repair business and have kept our home appliance working for many years. It was unusual for Joe to attend prayer meeting, so I commented to Dan how nice it was to see Joe out on a Wednesday night. "I guess you heard ...read more

    Rapture Suspense

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 7, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,651 views

    The Bible tells of a man kept in suspense all his life -- waiting for the moment Jesus would come. Since we're waiting like he did, there's a lot of lessons we can learn from him; why God chose him, how he waited daily, and what happened when he saw Jesus

    RAPTURE SUSPENSE Lk. 2:25-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SUSPENSE JOKE 1. A man came to the border of a country on his bike. He had three large sacks in the basket. The border guard asked him, "What's in the sacks?" "Sand." The guard searched through the sand and couldn't find anything. 2. A week ...read more

    You know not everyone that first Christmas heard from God like the shepherds did. Adapted from a message by Brian Atwood.

    The year 1860 found Henry Wadsworth Longfellow happy in his life, enjoying a widening recognition, and delighted over the election of Abraham Lincoln which he believed signaled the triumph of freedom and redemption for the nation. The following year the Civil War began and on July 9, 1861 ...read more

    Prevailing Prayer

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Oct 15, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,265 views

    In times of crisis, we are to express the positive through our words and works so that we enjoy the peace of God.

    In times of crisis, like what we are experiencing right now, we usually hear, “Why worry when you can pray?” Prayer allows us to prevail over these trying times. But, frankly, we tend to worry more than pray. One of my favorite verses in the Bible on prayer is Philippians 4:6-9. “Do not be anxious ...read more

     | 3,626 views

    There is value in the pursuit of Godly Wisdom and at the end of the day it is our relationship with God that matters most.

    June 12, 2021 As we read Scripture, it is easy to get bogged down by all the perceived differences between the ancient and the modern and we wonder, "How does this apply to my life?” My Favorite Thing About PROVERBS and ECCLESIASTES is that they are a practical guide to the value and ...read more

    Fathers, Be Careful

    Contributed by David Nolte on Jun 21, 2021
     | 1,930 views

    The responsibility of fatherhood demands that we be careful

    There is a world of difference between being careful and being full of care. Being careful is being responsible, alert, prudent and watchful. It positively says, “Why worry when you can pray?” Being full of care is being anxious, fretful, worried, and restless in the mind and spirit. It ...read more

    What do you think the Tent of Meeting, the Tabernacle, looked like? You might imagine it being very impressive, but not really, more than likely it looked dark, mostly black, or maybe it was a very dark shade of brown.
