     | 2,090 views

    God sent His Son into the world to save the world, but this does not mean that everyone is automatically saved. In fact, some are condemned and doomed. Jesus reveals man’s condemnation.

    Jesus Is Mighty God

     | 3,194 views

    What Isaiah is prophesying here about this child who would come, he is saying something that is very distinct. The Messiah would be called Mighty. But calling the coming Messiah “Mighty – God” means even more.

    Alba 12-12-2021 JESUS IS MIGHTY GOD Here we are, closing in on Christmas again. In less than two weeks that day will come. Isn’t it really something that a baby born in a stable in a place called Bethlehem, thousands of miles from the United States, can cause traffic jams in countless cities, ...read more

    When we go into a building filled with people we never know who might be among us.

    Illus: Years ago, Dr. Odell Belger, pastor of First Baptist Church of Lykeland, went into a restaurant to get a cup of coffee. This particular restaurant had a lunchroom and a counter that you could sit at to eat your meal. He saw a man that he knew sitting at the counter, the seat beside him was ...read more

    The Lord's Shoulders are broad enough to bear whatever we face. We can roll our burdens on Him.

    The Broad Shoulders of Christ Introduction: The prophet Isaiah has so many wonderful insights into the suffering of our Lord and the glory that follows. Isaiah 53:4-6 KJV "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and ...read more

    He That Winneth Souls Is Wise

     | 3,342 views

    One of the things the devil has been very successful at, is getting the church completely sidetracked from the mission God intended the church to do.

    To see that this is the case, all you have to do is observe what people seem to want from the church. For example, some see the church as: • A drug center to reach an emotional high. They get depressed and they want to come to church for a “Fix” • A social club where they can socialize with ...read more

    The Unjust Steward

     | 2,321 views

    We have heard it said many times, in many places, by many people, “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.”

    This would be a great place to live if everyone lived by this Bible principle. The fact is, many among us would be irate, to say the least, if others treated us the way we treat others. Illus: Have you ever been on the side of the road trying to get someone to allow you to enter the traffic ...read more

     | 13,629 views

    Jesus makes us a New Creation and gives us a New Name. Why does He do that, and what kind of difference can that make in our lives?

    Does anybody know what the “S” in Harry S Truman stands for? NOTHING! It doesn't stand for anything. He was born with a middle initial… and that was it. The letter “S” was a compromise that his parents made to satisfy his grandfathers, whose names were Shippe and Solomon.” Several years ago, ...read more

    "She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four" (Luke 2:36–37). Anna had been married only seven years when she became a widow, and she remained a widow for the rest of her life.

    tom lowe 1/8/2022 Anna, the Prophetess Who was Anna the prophetess in the Bible? I am ashamed that I could not answer that question until I researched this article. I have read the Bible from cover to cover, but I must admit I do not recall anything about her. Furthermore, I have never heard a ...read more

     | 2,266 views

    These days you do not have to hunt heresy as it comes right out of the darkness and parades itself in the open field.

    We live in an age where no one likes to be challenged or corrected. I do not like to be wrong, but I have told congregations to go home and study the Word after a sermon to be sure I know what I am talking about. If I do not, do not leave me ...read more

    The Surety Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 12, 2022
     | 2,623 views

    I want to spend some time in the next few weeks talking about the surety of things. Can we really be sure of anything? We do have assurance. God wants every believer to have assurance of salvation.

    I want to spend some time in the next few weeks talking about the surety of things. Can we really be sure of anything? Someone once said, “The only things we can be sure of are taxes and the rent going up.” Some philosophers will tell you that we can't be sure of anything. After Covid-19 ...read more

    This is the last sermon in this series on “Why God gave us the ten commandments

    I would like to mention again, God gave us these ten commandments for many reasons, but the primary reason, is that God wants us to know what HE LIKES, and what HE DISLIKES. We are told that we have over twenty-two thousands laws on the books today. These laws continue to grow in number, because ...read more

    If you ask Christian which is their favorite book of the Bible the answer will vary from Genesis to Revelations. However, probably very few if any would say my favorite book of the Bible is Habakkuk.

    The reason they would not choose this book as their favorite is because they do not know that much about the book of Habakkuk. Let me share a few things with you about this precious book of the Bible and it might become your favorite. Let’s look at… I. THE BOOK Out of the sixty six books of ...read more

    Spiritual Warfare: "The Force” Of God

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 24, 2021
     | 3,508 views

    THE FORCE was with Othniel but it wasn’t the midi-chlorians or a dynamic personality. His secret weapon was the Holy Spirit! By it he defeated the King of Double-Wickedness who oppressed Israel 8 years!

    SPIRITUAL WARFARE: “THE FORCE” OF GOD Judges 3:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1.
