It Ain't Me

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 13, 2013

This is the most dramatic testimony of Paul’s struggle with sin. I like this text because of the transparency. Paul identifies sin that is always lurking around trying to take a hold of every beleiver.

TITLE: IT AIN’T ME SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 7:17 As much as I place focus and attention on proper English, I found it fitting this morning to stray somewhat. I could not find a better or stronger word to use than “AIN’T” to help support my thought as we labor in the Word for a ...read more

Samson, Part 3 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 17, 2007

What happened to Samson that brought him back to the Lord and what was his real source of strength. How does that relate to our own strengths in the hands of God?

What was the secret to Samson’s strength? Was it really his long hair? God never says that. In fact, I think from the text the secret to his strength was the inrushing of the Holy Spirit. We see it in 14:6 with the lion, 14:19 with the 30 Philistine men, 15:14 and with the 1,000 Philistines. From ...read more

Be Encouraged! Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 5, 2009

Paul’s final theological words to the Romans hold a lot of weight. But in some ways Paul says to ’lighten up!’ when it comes to dealing with people who are different than us in the body of Christ.

We’ve been talking a lot about getting along in a hostile environment. That, to use an old adage, honey attracts more flies than vinegar. To be a compliant citizen of your nation, even when it doesn’t reflect the character of God very well, is a good thing because it allows the spotlight to be on ...read more

"all Aboard?!"

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Jun 22, 2002

The account of the great flood holds many spiritual lessons for the Christian today, for this story parallels the spiritual condition of our generation and gives us a glimpse of not only God’s judgement but also His grace.

“All Aboard?!” Did you know that there were only ten generations from Adam to Noah? Think about it; only ten generations from the point when God created man perfectly and in “His image”, until he became so corrupt...that, when God looked down he saw; “.....that every ...read more

The Redeemed Of The Lord

Contributed by James May on Apr 25, 2004

I have been redeemed, bought back from the pits of sin, released from the cage of bondage, and given a new life, all because of the blood of Jesus.

The Mass Deception Of "Left Behind"

Contributed by Richard David on Jan 3, 2001

An exposition of the dangers of this new theology of a pre-trib rapture. A response to the growing popularity of the "Left Behind" series, even among secular audiences and the danger of deception that its widespread acceptance holds.

As a young Christian, I was raised on “dispensationalism”, a term which comes from the Bible referring to God’s timing and how He works in different ways at different times. We had it all figured out, just like the Jews of Jesus’ day. (But wait, they missed it! Are we?) According to what is known ...read more

Top Ten Predictions For 2010

Contributed by Johnny Knight on Jan 25, 2010

With so much upheaval in the country (and world) there is a tendency for believers to be shaken in their faith. I want to boldly declare the Word of the Lord, and encourage the Church to hold to what we know is TRUE!

TOP TEN PREDICTIONS FOR 2010 1. The Bible will still have all the answers. Psalm 119:105 "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path." John 17:17 "...Thy Word is truth...." 2. Prayer will still work. In the face of trouble King David declared: Psalm 109:4 "...I give myself to ...read more
