Hope For The Hopeless

Contributed by Darian Catron on Nov 6, 2020

We live in seemingly hopeless times where so much is happening - pandemic, riots, protests, fires, and a nation divided. "Is there any hope" for the future? When will it ever end? In this sermon we will discover that Christ is our hope even when all hope is gone.

SERMON TITLE- Hope for the hopeless INTRODUCTION: Years ago an S-4 submarine was rammed by a ship off the coast of Massachusetts. It sank immediately. The entire crew was trapped in a prison house of death. Every effort was made to rescue the crew, but it ultimately failed. Near the end of the ...read more

It Is Well With My Soul Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 8, 2020

Among all the conquering heroes of Hebrews 11, God introduces us to those who suffered, struggled and died for their faith. Why would God tell us the stories of those who didn't "succeed"?

OPEN: I love a good action movie - the kind they used to make. Movies where good overcomes evil; the boy gets the girl; righteousness triumphs and the hero rides off into the sunset. Those are “feel good” movies because everything works out the way it should. One website talked about the movies ...read more

Finding God

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 11, 2020

When telling people that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, some ask... what about the isolated Buddhist? Or... What about those in remote tribes in Africa? Wouldn’t it be impossible for them to hear about Jesus

Inconvenient Christmas

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 13, 2020

With Us - Goodwill Series

Contributed by Thomas Bartlett on Dec 17, 2020

What’s the great theme of every great Christmas movie? It’s always the triumph over terrible circumstances to a place of peace and goodwill toward others. I guess you can say that at the heart of it, Christmas is all about peace and goodwill too.

A Journey Of Faith

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Dec 20, 2020

They were wise men from the east, nothing else is said about their origin here. Contrary to popular Christmas tradition, the Bible does not use the terms three wise men or three kings to describe the travelers who went to see Jesus after his birth.

A Journey of Faith By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Today as we are approaching and will be celebrating Christmas on this week I felt God taking me in a different direction. I am not going to deal with the traditional Christmas message. Tradition has a major effect on how we perceive ...read more

Sermon On The Necessity For Pollination

Contributed by William Meakin on Jan 29, 2022

The list of creatures that can pollinate is long and includes such insects as bees, flies, wasps, beetles, butterflies and moths.

Albert Einstein the German-born theoretical physicist once reputedly quoted: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” Genesis 1:25 reminds us: “And God ...read more

Faith Cometh By…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 22, 2022

Many of the doctrines of the Bible are both SIMPLE and COMPLEX.

Faith is one of those doctrines. For example: • It is so simple a child can understand it • It is so deep that you can spend a lifetime studying it, and never be able to comprehend it fully One of the reasons that we do not see the hand of God moving in our churches today, is because of the lack ...read more

Let Go And Let God

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

Before we can “let God,” or allow Him to work in our life, we have to “let go.” We have to stop allowing ourselves to be controlled by the things of this world that hinder our usefulness to Him. Letting go and letting God is called faith.

Our sermon this evening is entitled “Let Go and Let God.” The title is derived from a popular statement used among Christians today. Before we can “let God,” or allow Him to work in our life, we have to “let go,” or throw off the chains that hinder our usefulness to the Lord. We have to stop ...read more

Faith, Doubt And Unbelief

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jul 14, 2021

Faith is an essential ingredient to receive from hand. We reach God with hands of faith. A little faith goes a long way, but Satan always sow seeds of doubt and unbelief to negate our faith.
