Recovering From Temptation

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 23, 2023

Give Us A King

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

God's Voice

Contributed by Greg Yort on Apr 23, 2018

The Holy Spirit's Indwelling

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 7, 2022

As I deliver this message, I want you to silently ask yourself, “Can I truthfully say that the Holy Spirit lives in me.”

I'm not sure if I am the only one that does this or not. Growing up, if I was ever walking down a dark country road by myself, I found myself whistling, or singing, or humming an old familiar gospel song. It seemed like it made everything safer.
