    This message focuses on God's intentions toward His people, and the good outcome that He desires for us in the current crisis. What is the key to finding the best solution for the coronavirus pandemic?

    INTRODUCTION Good morning, I am coming to you from my home today, in compliance to a Stay-at-Home order issued in our city. The COVID-19 pandemic is dramatically affecting our lives in many ways. Our daily routines have been disturbed. Many conveniences that we took for granted are removed. We all ...read more

    May I Have Your Attention Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 6, 2020
     | 5,464 views

    God uses many avenues to get our attention. Perhaps the CoronaVirus is one avenue He is using!

    I don’t mind telling you that dealing with the COVID-19 has been a real challenge – • Preaching to a camera and an empty auditorium is hard. • Dilemma – do we keep on with what we were doing before the virus or has God stepped in to rearrange our plans? • I’m opting for the latter – I don’t want ...read more

    A Bible Look At Chastisment

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Oct 14, 2019
     | 2,623 views

    Sometimes we need to stop and reevaluate our thoughts on spiritual things. Many times, I get the wrong idea of what God is trying to do in my life.

    Sometimes we need to stop and reevaluate our thoughts on spiritual things. Many times, I get the wrong idea of what God is trying to do in my life. Sometimes we listen to others and let them tell us what God is trying to do and they know less about it than we do. We should always trust God and know ...read more

    The theme for this stewardship emphasis is "Live Courageously." This week's topic is "Live Free." What do I own, and what owns me? Sometimes the things we possess can end up dominating our thoughts and pursuits.

    Does God Make Good All Bad Life Experiences? A Deep Exegesis Of Romans 8:28.

    It seems very clear from both the Bible and life itself that everything does not work together for good just because a person loves God. Many evil things happen to those who love God.

    A look through the book of Hebrews to learn more about who Jesus Is in our lives.

Hebrews 12:4-11 October 1, 2017 I really love what former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry once said about his football players, he said, “The job of a coach is to make players do what they don't want to do, in order to achieve what they've always wanted to be."

    Godly Contentment Is The Way To Go

    Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Oct 30, 2017
     | 4,182 views

    How can we achieve 'Godly Contentment' vs what the World has to offer in its stead.

    To be content means that one is Happy. Happiness is a state of one’s being when things around them are going as expected or well in the person’s opinion. It can be a sense of satisfaction or fulfillment, however fleeting. Our environment is temporal at most—always changing—fluid in nature. If ...read more

    People who win a lot, teams that win a lot and people who succeed in life all have a lot in common. There are certain things they do and certain things they don’t do that somehow they all figure out. This is called the Winner’s code.

    Christians are not punished for sins. God's people can never by any possibility be punished for their sins, for God has already punished them at the cross.

    DIVINE CHASTISEMENT "Despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him" Heb 12:5 I. Divine Punishments vs. Divine Chastisement A. Importance to draw a distinction for 1. The honor and glory of God 2. The peace of mind of the Christian B. ...read more

    Just Like Us (Part Seven) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 25, 2019
     | 5,141 views

    Today we close out the series on seeing how the people of the bible are just like us. We've looked at Abraham, Samson, Elijah, Joshua, David, and last week we focused on Peter. Today, we'll finish by looking at Paul. Let's see how he was just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part seven) Last week we looked at Peter. Peter was the foremost of the Apostles. He was a leader and devout follower of Jesus. He withstood persecution and was bold and courageous in contending for the faith. Tradition indicates that Peter met his fate being crucified upside down ...read more

    Heaven Exists

    Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 22, 2021
     | 2,196 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

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 30, 2022
     | 1,353 views

    What is the difference between God’s wrath and God’s discipline? We look into tribulation, persecution and discipline, and look at 4 reasons Christians can have difficulties. Remember this – godly living produces persecution. Trees standing against the wind have the strongest trunks.

    MESSAGE 8 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5 – PERSECUTION, DISCIPLINE AND TRIBULATION; WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? – PART 2 (Verse 9) REVISION FROM PART 1 We have been examining 1Thessalonians 5:9 and looking at the wrath of God.

    Dios quiere que tu y yo seamos fuertes en tiempos de problemas y caos. Si demayamos no podemos ayudar a nadie. La Biblia tiene consejos para ayudarnos en evitar el desmayar.

    Que NO Desmayes El desmayar es la consecuencia de la falta de uno o mas ingedientes necesarios para el bienestar de nuestra salud. En la vida espiritual es igual. Nos falta algo que es vital para la vida espiritual y el resultado es algo que no esperamos. Hay un remedio! I. Energía ...read more

    We try to find our fulfillment in life through all types of vines. All these will take life from you, no matter how much they promise something more. The only source of real meaning in life is the one who gives us life and that is the Lord Jesus Christ

    Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

     | 4,027 views

    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
