All Ye All Ye All Come Free

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jun 14, 2013

There was a game that we use to play as kids, back in the time when kids actually went outside to play. The name of the game that we use to play was called Hide-N-Seek; some may remember it as touch the tree or kick the can.

“All ye All Ye All Come Free” By Pastor M.L. Maughmer, Jr. Hebrews 10:19-25 “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And [having] ...read more

What Goals We Have Helps In Knowing What Obstacles We Might Face.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Dec 29, 2011

Apostle Paul often spoke of his Christian life as if running in the Olympic Games. I believe Paul watched those games many times and running was probably the most competitive. What prize was Paul running for? Salvation is not the prize

What goals we have helps in knowing what obstacles we might face. Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of ...read more

Husband, Love Your Wife-Body (Ephesians 5:15-33) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 9, 2025

Husband, you love your body. Your wife is your body. Love your wife. We focus on the head; Paul's interested in the head-body metaphor. Love by sacrificing, cherishing, providing.

Today, we continue our series on Ephesians, and we continue to talk about husbands and wives, Christ and the church. Last week, I focused on wives, because that's where Paul starts. We saw that what it means for a wife to submit to her husband primarily revolves around the idea of treating ...read more

He’s All Around Me 1 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

A lot of folks think the Christian life is like the game children like to play, called “Hide and Seek”.

"Vcr Faith”

Contributed by David Yarbrough on Mar 24, 2003

To overcome our doubts we must first face them head on and have a bout with doubt.

I’m so glad our God doesn’t impose a question quota on us. God welcomes our doubts, questions and feelings. Sometimes we all have bouts with doubts. 1. Those who are pre-doubters. 2. Those who are doubters. Every once in a while that doubt drives you crazy. 3. Those who are dead. The only ...read more
