    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 5, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,125 views

    Hebrews tells us that bitterness defiles. But what does that mean and why should I avoid this emotion?

    Our Sermon Series this month is entitled: "Insomniacs: Things That Keep Us Up At Night." I read that some of the Polynesian natives spend a great deal of time fighting. When people offend them, they steal something that belonged to offender and hang it from the ceiling of their hut. Then ...read more

    Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

    God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

    I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

    Is our Christianity a hobby we do whenever we have time for it? Or do we take our faith seriously? Is your Christianity something you do? Or is it who you are? We are called to holiness. Do we strive for holiness in our everyday lives? All Scripture references are from the NASB.

     | 3,909 views

    We have an imperative command to edify and encourage. Spiritual life can be like an elevator... your choice will select the up button or the down. Your words, your attitudes, you daily choice will determine what floor you will get off.

    WHICH BUTTON ARE YOU PUSHING? ELEVATORS… LIFT By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Your mind is kind of like a computer… You select the program that is running.

     | 2,497 views

    In the ministry we may have many questions? Why can't I see the fruit of my labor now? Little things can kill the effectiveness of ministry. Are we called to success or faithfulness. Love small things. Never use comparison.

    SMALL THINGS? YOU MAY NEVER SEE? YOU MAY NEVER KNOW? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (Two part) A VICTIM SPIRIT WILL OFTEN SAY: LORD, I DON’T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO DO THIS?

    Message analyzes the incident in Exodus 4:24-26 when God sought to kill Moses. Why were God's dealings so severe when he was on his way to Egypt to do what God told him to do at the burning bush? What lessons can the Christian draw from this story?

    Before we get into the message, I want to mention an opportunity we have in this season. Tomorrow, September 6th at sunset begins the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah). That also launces the annual Ten Days of Awe on the Jewish calendar which culminates on September 16th with Yom Kippur, the Day of ...read more

    Heaven Exists

    Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 22, 2021
     | 2,403 views

    Yes, heaven exists but the description of the three (or more) levels of heaven are illusive. Also, do we have bodies there? Are we conscious? Do we have tactile feelings similar to what we experience now?

    Heaven Exists Before we get into the existence of heaven, let's consider exactly when do we go? As with numerous Biblical topics, many churches, under Christianity's umbrella, have different beliefs on these topics. The following are my thoughts as reinforced by the specified verses from ...read more

    Defilement Comes From Within Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 22, 2021
     | 3,637 views

    It is not the food you eat or religious observation you practice that enables you to claim that you are right with God. Your attitude, behavior, and response to His commands show whether or not your life is defiled before Him.

    Worship is supposed to come from a grateful heart and mind, focused on how God's mercy and grace has taken us off of the road to hell and by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, placed us on the narrow road leading to eternal life. Our submission to Him as Lord and Savior, ...read more

    Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy;without holiness no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. 16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who ...read more
