Sermon - The Believers Perspective - Take The Long View

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 29, 2025

Our perspective is the lens at which we view life and most importantly God’s role in our life. God is good all the time. Too many Christians define God’s goodness by their circumstances rather than Who God actually is.

Sermon. The Believers Perspective - Take The Long View Scripture - Habakkuk 1:1-6 “This is the message that the prophet Habakkuk received in a vision. How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not listen! “Violence is everywhere!” I cry, but you do not come to save. Must I forever see ...read more

Isaiah's Encounter With The Holiness Of God (Isaiah 6:1-8)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 4, 2024

Isaiah receives a vision of the LORD God Almighty in HIs glory and splendor. He recognizes himself for the sinner that he is, yet God commissions him to be His prophet. This is an encounter of reverence, fear, and service.

The events described in Chapter 6 of Isaiah occur early in the life of the prophet. We read in verse 1 that King Uzziah had died after a reign of fifty-two years. He is also referred to Azariah. He was a king who walked in the ways of the LORD until he tried to offer incense in the Temple, ...read more

Sermon # 12 - God's Grace And Man's Responsibility Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 15, 2024

God’s grace and His justice are like two sides of the same coin. Both go hand in hand and if we underplay one or overplay the other, we will err and miss out on God’s eternal reward. The life of Lot and his family will help us understand this better.

We read in Genesis 19:16, When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the LORD was merciful. (NLT) Most of us are familiar with the incident of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. ...read more

A Preview Of When God Ends Suffering Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 6, 2022

There are only two possible ways you can approach God - with belief or unbelief. You either believe God, or you don’t believe him. You either put faith in Christ, or you don’t put faith in Christ. You only come to Him by faith in Jesus Christ, or you don’t come to Him at all.

As most of you know, an eighteen-year-old young man took twenty-one lives at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX, on Tuesday. Nineteen of these lives were elementary-aged children. This is the deadliest school shooting in Texas history and it’s incomprehensible to me that we have such a category. ...read more

Judgement Belongs To The Lord

How does God judge groups, towns, cities and nations?

Last week we heard about The Minor Old Testament Prophet Habakkuk, minor because the book that bears his name is short, only 3 chapters long as opposed to The Major Old Testament Prophet Isaiah whose book is 66 chapters.

The Privilege Of Prayer

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 9, 2022

Earthly kings & presidents DO NOT ALLOW ACCESS to themselves by average people! How different God is, to seek out the lowest, the least, & the nobodies - though He's the Creator & King of kings. Prayer is a priceless privilege; make sure you use it!

THE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYER Heb. 10:19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BRAGGING OF PERFECTION 1. One denomination believes you can “pray through” to perfection. One member of this group went to see a Christian neighbor. He struck up the subject of the believer's perfection. 2. The neighbor said, ...read more

Dear God, Why Don't You Do Something?

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Nov 18, 2022
