    There is a world living in darkness that needs to see that light on a hill, that needs to hear the word of life - to hear that they can be born again into an inheritance that can never spoil, fade or pass away.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. Eleven years ago this past week the skies of New York, Washington, D.C. & Pennsylvania were punctured by hijacked airplanes in a diabolical plot to pierce the soul of our nation. ...read more

    What are we to pray about? 1- Pray for the spreading of the message 2- Pray for the deliverance from evil people 3- Pray for the strengthening of God’s Spirit

     | 2,625 views

    We are all thankful for every precious verse of scripture in the Word of God, but there are some verses we favor above others.

    One such verse is Psalm 56:3, we read, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” WHY IS THIS SUCH A FAVORITE VERSE OF SCRIPTURE FOR SO MANY? Because there are times in ALL OF OUR LIVES when we are AFRAID! Illus: In one movie, John Wayne, who is known for his toughness, was leading a bunch ...read more

    Our mind is a battleground. The battle to become more like Jesus takes place in our mind. There are mind monsters that we must confront. It is time to turn on the light!

    I. Introduction The Scare Factory illustrated in Monsters Inc. is still in full effect. However, rather than harvesting the screams of children to power the city of "Monstropolis", this scare factory harvests our peace and our sanity. Adam and Eve fall in the Garden and believe ...read more

    Moses had witnessed those who had lived many years, carrying the wealth and riches of Egypt, but they all died in the wilderness and failed to receive the promises of God. Moses prays "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

    Subject: "Teach Us to Number Our Days" Text: Psalms 90:12 “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Introduction: Moses dealt with Israel for more than 80 years.

    If you want to see the Kingdom of God, you must be born again, the Son of Man must be lifted up, and you must believe.

    Through his humor, Bill Waterson has a way to make you think about life. He’s the author of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips; and some time ago, he drew Calvin (a little boy) hurtling down a snowy slope on a sled with his friend Hobbes (a tiger).

    All Murders Even The Forgotten Ones Will Be Judged And Avenged - Revelation 9 V 21 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022
     | 1,874 views

    In the Tribulation period that happens after the Rapture, God's judgements fall on this world but the human heart is so hard it refuses to repent even then. In particular 4 sins are mentioned, one of them being murder, which is the topic for today.

    ALL MURDERS EVEN THE FORGOTTEN ONES WILL BE JUDGED AND AVENGED - Revelation 9 v 21 This is a horrible world; a world of torment and ugliness, of torture, pain and death. The atrocities of this earth are like an iceberg – the majority is hidden underneath and is not seen. Two posts back I had an ...read more

    Many of us have watched movies of wild animals on television. I enjoy watching them until they become vicious and start attacking and devouring each other.

    I guess when they get like this, it reminds me of many church members that I know. There are many mean people in the world, and at times we find some of them within the church. That is, they are unkind and vicious in the way they treat others! Illus: They remind me of the story of President ...read more

     | 2,899 views

    Paul went into this question and answer section to debunk the wrong thoughts of the Jews, affirming the value of the covenant, God's faithfulness to His promises, and His righteous judgment for all people.

    The truth of the Gospel is that all men have sinned and come under the wrath of God. • Everyone will be judged by the same measure, for God does not show favouritism (2:11). Both the Jews and the Greeks will be judged for their sin. • Paul took extra efforts to draw attention to the Jews because ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 6, 2025
     | 298 views

    The God of deliverance keeps His sheep so none is lost; not one bone broken. Delivered through death to the presence of the Lord. Also we look at degrees of punishment and how it stands in judgement for the wicked. We must reach out to the lost, more than condemn them.

    PSALM 34:20-22 - PART 8 – DELIVERED AND KEPT; THE REDEEMED HAVE REFUGE IN THE LORD BUT THE WICKED ARE CONDEMNED With this message we come to the end of this study in Psalm 34.
