    It’s an understatement to say that we are experiencing a time unlike any other. The way we live, interact with others, do business, work, entertain, and worship has changed and may never be what we once called normal again.

    “Better Days are Coming” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Scriptures:- Zephaniah 1:12, Amos 6:1, Psalm 4:6, Deuteronomy 8:2, 2 Chronicles 7:14.

    Shelter The Homeless

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 7, 2015
     | 8,429 views

    God asks us to give our lives to him and serve him by serving others. We say to them, “God loves you and so do I”. We can reduce poverty. On Judgment Day, we will be judged by how we lived our lives and whether or not we loved others like Christ loves us.

    “I was homeless and you took me in…” As the worshipers arrived for church in a small town one Sunday morning, they were met by a rather disturbing sight. An apparently homeless beggar sat on the front steps of the church, wearing tattered clothing, a wool cap pulled down over his ...read more

    The Cry We Cannot Ignore

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 2, 2025
     | 220 views

    This sermon on Proverbs 1:20-31 contrasts the urgent, public call of God's wisdom with the catastrophic and final consequences that await those who willfully ignore it.

     | 6,871 views

    The Twelve Spies were a group of Israelite chieftains, one from each of the Twelve Tribes, who were dispatched by Moses to scout out the Land of Canaan for 40 days as a future home for the Israelite people, when the Israelites were in the wilderness.

    The Twelve Spies The Grapes of Canaan Although the spies brought back a cluster of grapes so large that it took two men to carry it (Numbers 13:23), only two of the twelve brought back a good report of the land. The Twelve Spies, as recorded in the Book of Numbers, were a group of Israelite ...read more

    Double Exposure

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 8, 2023
     | 2,400 views

    The photographic process is mysterious; a piece of film is exposed to light and images are left. Our lives are like that film. We present what we want others to see, but God sees beneath it. A 2nd exposure will happen - now or later!

    DOUBLE EXPOSURE Eph. 5:8-16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Squeaky clean 1. One young woman decided to try clean her purse by throwing it into the washing machine—with the rest of the laundry. Her younger brother was startled, and asked, “Why are you washing your purse?” 2. Their father, who ...read more

    In Tandem With God: Being Aware Of The Costs And The Benefits Series

    Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Aug 29, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,073 views

    This sermon explores that being a Christians involves costs and benefits. Being aware of the costs and the benefits of being a Christian is important, otherwise we end up with an unbalanced view of what it means to be a disciple.

    For every decision you make. For every way you live your life. There are prices to pay. And the price is not just money. But every decision we make will cost us in time and relationships. And at times, when we make a decision, it prevents us or stops us from making another decision. We may miss out ...read more

    Where is He born King of the Jews? Where was God in the slaughter of the innocents? God was in a caring Father and Mother who fled to Egypt to protect the precious life of the child. God was in this Christ reconciling the world to himself.
