Forcing God’s Hand

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at the account of someone who was given a promise by God that he would receive a great blessing. But he, along with his wife, took matters into their own hands, and tried to get ahead of God, leading to strife.

In our message this morning we’re going to focus on how we need to have patience when following the Lord. Hebrews is a book of the Bible that frequently talks about following God in faith, and we read that those who are patient will be able to “inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:12). In Hebrews ...read more

Receiving God’s Grace

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

God’s Building Code

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Today I want to talk to you about building codes. If you get ready to build, you will need to go down town and get a permit to build.

They will tell you that if you are going to build, there are codes you must abide by. Some people have a problem because they have a hard time following instructions. The building codes are given for every builder to build by. One of the most important things in building any building is to have ...read more

God Is A God Of The Mountains And The Valleys

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022

The Christian life is filled with MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCES and VALLEY EXPERIENCES.

We all enjoy the MOUNTAIN TOP experiences. In God’s Word we find the writers used many superlatives to describe the blessings God bestows upon us. We are told that a good writer never uses too many superlatives for fear of overstating their case. They are to be reserved for special occasions ...read more

God’s Great Love

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

Let me ask you TWO questions:

(1) WHY DOES GOD LOVE MANKIND? Why? Because the Bible says GOD IS LOVE! He can’t help Himself - GOD IS LOVE! (2) WHY DIDN’T GOD MAKE US AS ROBOTS AND CREATE US WHERE WE ALL WOULD HAVE TO LOVE HIM? Illus: Most of us, have seen some of these little doll babies that the toy companies make. As ...read more

God’s Loving Kindness

Contributed by Dennis Lee on May 8, 2022

Approaching this Mother’s Day message, two distinct things came to mind. The first was the lovingkindness of God, and the second was the story of Hagar. Therefore, what we will be looking at is then Hagar and the lovingkindness of God.

God’s Great Grace

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 6, 2021

In our Sermon today we’ll be looking at how great and wonderful God’s grace is towards us, as we examine it through the acrostic “GRACE.” We'll see just how great God's grace really is, and what it means for our salvation.

God’s Great Grace Today we’re going to continue to look at the basics of our faith, as we’ve been looking at the foundational teachings of the Bible and of the church.

Our God Is An Awesome God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

This Psalm we are looking at doesn't even soar into space. It stops earth bound, and still it deals with a God who is truly awesome. He is awesome, not because of His creation and what He has done, but because of His character, and what He is.

Everett Fullam was in Libera in 1969 when the two Americans, Armstrong and Aldin walked on the moon. He told the Gheo tribe chief this was happening, and the old man looked up to the moon and said, "There's nobody up there." He sounded angry and added, "Besides, that is not big ...read more

The Word Of God, And A Heart For God.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2021

This is an abbreviated version of my earlier sermon on the whole Psalm, which was entitled 'A Heart for God'.

THE WORD OF GOD, AND A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19:7-14. Creation, general revelation, does not stand alone in its testimony to God.

God’s Grace Will Overcome

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Grace can assist us in overcoming life’s problems by helping when all else fails. When we’re at the end of our rope, from struggling and trying everything humanly possible and exhausting our own resources, then grace steps in.

Every time I became frustrated it was because I was trying to do something myself . . . instead of putting my faith in God and receiving His grace. - Joyce Meyer(1) In our message this morning we’re going to look at grace to overcome life’s daily challenges. Grace is simply defined as, “The ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 4, 2017

This sermon looks at God's grace and how it sustains us through times of temptations, tiredness, and troubles.

God’s Sustaining Grace It seems that many people are going through so much. It’s really unbelievable.

God’s Restoring Grace

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 9, 2017

This sermon looks at God's restorative grace. It looks at why people walk away including pride, indifference, inconvenience, and seeking man's approval.

God’s Restoring Grace Mark 14 As I thought about this concept of God’s restoring grace what came to mind is the promise Jesus gave to His disciples of the Holy Spirit. “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on ...read more

To God’s Glory Alone Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 30, 2017

Solo Deo Gloria — to the glory of God alone — means that the entire process of salvation — and creation, for that matter — has as its goal glorifying God.

To God’s Glory Alone (Ephesians 2:8-10) 1. Some people do not get it. I handed the teller at my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00 I said “May I have large bills, please”. She looked at me and said “I’m sorry sir, all the bills are the same size.” I explained it to her. 2. When we talk about ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Nov 1, 2017

This sermon deals with how we are to grow in God's grace through taking off the old and and putting on the new.

God’s Growing Grace Ephesians 4:22-24 An oxymoron is not someone who is foolish with a bad complexion.

God’s Healing Grace

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Nov 17, 2017

This sermon looks at another aspect of God's grace, His healing grace, which comes by changing our thinking process. Because of God's grace we're acceptable, valuable, lovable, and forgivable.

God’s Healing Grace Psalm 147:3 If there’s one truism I have learned in my 64 years is that no one goes through this life without pain, hurt, and sorrow. Everyone has problems, hurts, and hidden wounds, emotions scars that we allow no one else to see. One of these hurts, wounds, and scars is ...read more
