"Can You Hear Me Now?” (Sermon 2 Of 3 On Prayer)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jun 8, 2023

Pastors do a lot of preaching on prayer because they know how important it is to us Christians.

But many preachers are guilty of telling Christians they should pray, but they do not tell them from the scriptures HOW TO PRAY EFFECTIVELY. The fact is, if we cannot pray effective prayers why bother to pray at all. If you ask the average Christian do they know how to pray they would tell you ...read more

When God Calls Your Name: Samuel Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021

How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

For instance, there’s a sense of fear and anxiety when you’re a student and you hear your name called over ...read more

How Can I Say No?

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 18, 2024

How can Abraham say No to the Lord, after hearing the Lord’s voice for 25 years during the waiting period for His son Isaac, where the Lord’s voice was guiding, encouraging and strengthening him to survive the waiting period?

Then God said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” Genesis 22:2 When faced with such a situation, the challenge is not how can I say Yes, but how can I say ...read more

How To Find The Good Shepherd Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 8, 2021

The world is a very dangerous place spiritually, full of wolves that come to us in sheep's clothing, evil shepherds masquerading as good shepherds. How do we find the Good Shepherd? How do we determine the difference between good shepherds and bad? Jesus provides insight in John 10.

If you’re only casually familiar with the Bible, you might be surprised to find out that one of the major themes of the New Testament is false teachers. Under this general category fall false shepherds, false prophets and false apostles. You see, the Bible claims to be the truth about God and ...read more
