The God Of This World

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Dec 15, 2016

Who - or what - is the “god of this world?” (1 Cor 4:3-4) Is he a living character, or an evil force within ourselves? In what way is the “god of this world” a fitting description? Is God in control, or is Satan the ruler of the realm we live in? •Are we

When Life Is On Hold Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 31, 2018

Waiting is tough! What carries us? God cares, God can be trusted, and God is able to fulfill his plans for us. Joseph's 13 years of waiting for God's plan to unfold led to unbelievable blessing. Our time of waiting fits into God's plan.

WHEN LIFE IS ON HOLD—Genesis 40-41 Joseph led a charmed life. It started with his birth: the favorite son Jacob, also known as Israel, the father of the nation of Israel. Jacob showed his favor by giving Joseph a “coat of many colors,” and God revealed his plans for Jacob by giving him dreams, ...read more

Christmas Sunday 2019 - Who Are The Wise Men? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 21, 2019

In the account of the Wise Men in Matthew 2 we see a grand variety of characters. All who are living can be placed somewhere in the spectrum of characters ranging from Herod to the Magi. Let's examine ourselves to see where we fit into the narrative.

Christmas Sunday 2019 – Who Are the Wise Men? Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … Jude 1:24-25 “To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy – “To the only God our Savior be glory, ...read more

The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part I

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023

Jesus' parable of the wedding banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) is a call to salvation. There will be many who will make poor excuses and refuse the invitation. There will be those who accept it with gratitude, but some will try to enter in their own way. In which category do you fit?

Throughout the Scriptures, the call of God to come to Him for salvation, grace, and mercy is prominent. The paradise we lost at our fall into sin is not irreversible nor permanent. He has promised redemption even though we do not deserve it. He promised to make all things new, starting with the ...read more

God Uses Who You Are

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

We need to get rid of the ill-fitting fashion, or armor, that we’ve tried to squeeze into that’s strangling the life out of us. We need to be who we are in Christ, and utilize our own special equipping. This is what David decided was best.

Have you ever felt as though you don’t quite know where God wants to use you, and you often feel awkward where you’re presently serving? Perhaps it’s because you’ve been pushed into an area of service that doesn’t suit how the Lord has made you and equipped you, and who you really are inside. ...read more

The Authority Of The Word Of God Series

Contributed by John Hamby on Apr 20, 2011

The biblical teaching of the absolute moral standards of God’s word has fallen on hard times. We continually in our day hear the idea espoused that because times have changed the Bible does not fit our day. The truth, of course is just the opposite.

John's World

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 15, 2015

Was John only the apostle of love, or also the prophet of judgment? Was he "free will" as in John 3:16, or "predestination" as in John 6:37. To ask these things about him is really to ask them about the One he quoted. Jesus does not fit into our boxes...

John’s World… Did John contradict John in regards to the doctrines of grace? Whose side was he on, after all? It wasn’t just Paul! There’s a real opposition in the evangelical church to what they call “Calvinism”, but what Spurgeon called “Bible.” ...read more

How To Have More Faith Series

Contributed by Darrell Stetler Ii on Nov 13, 2014

How do you know if you believe? How do you know if you’ve got faith for something? What if faith isn’t something you can just systematically build? What if it doesn’t fit a system?

The Makings Of A Good Dad

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 19, 2017

For Mother's Day my sermon was, "The Makings of A Good Mom" so it's only fitting that I do the same for Father's Day. Quote: "It only takes a minute to be a father but it takes a lifetime to be a dad." What are some things that make a good dad?

THE MAKINGS OF A GOOD DAD Contrast between TV dads of the 50's and those of today. Back then Dad was portrayed as the leader, the guider; he was admired. Today, dads are portrayed as inept, clueless and irresponsible. Modern-day TV oftentimes portrays the dad as being more like an additional ...read more

Sanctified Speech

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 11, 2025

God calls us to be sanctified vessels fit to be used for His greater purposes. One area that we need sanctification is our speech. In a world that thrives on lies and deception, the Lord Jesus challenges us to live a life of integrity and to practice speaking the truth at all times.

The meditation for today is taken from Joshua 3:5, And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you." (AFV) There are two phrases that I wish to highlight from the above mentioned verse, the first one being ‘Sanctify yourselves’ and the ...read more
