    Different Roles, Same Assignment

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 9, 2021
     | 6,855 views

    There are some in the body of Christ who see those with public roles (ministries) in the body of Christ as being more valuable to the kingdom than those who don’t. But this is simply not true when you see “the big picture.”

    Over the years, I’ve known Christians who, because they didn’t have public ministries, believed that they were, somehow, second tier to those who did. They were not preaching. They were not teaching Sunday school. They didn’t lead the choir. They served on committees. They were not unhappy. They ...read more

    A Dysfunctional Family Series

    The beautiful story of Joseph has attracted a lot of attention through the years. Andrew Lloyd Weber thought so highly of the story that he developed the story of Joseph into a Broadway musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

    Sermon # 4 - Chosen To Be Royalty Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,562 views

    God has chosen us and called us to be a Royal Priesthood, but often we don’t realize our position in Christ. Abraham’s life will encourage us to realize how God can fulfill His great plans in the lives of those whom God has called and chosen.

    We read in 1 Peter 2:9, However, you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (GW) In the verses preceding the above mentioned verse, Peter ...read more

    Sermon # 9 - Learn To Speak Right Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 858 views

    Do we wait for God’s timing or do we rush ahead of God? What happens when we speak words of doubt and disbelief instead of faith and trust in God? If we can learn to speak right and stay silent when we have to we will be blessed and avoid many pitfalls.

    We read in Genesis 17:5, Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, because I am making you the ancestor of many nations. (GNB) When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him, and in this exclusive conversation, God told Abram that he would no longer be called Abram but as ...read more

    How Do You Overcome False Teachers In A Movement?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 24, 2024
     | 772 views

    Every church movement, every denomination has false teachers that they have to deal with. As Jesus taught, the wheat and the tares are growing together. Ravenous wolves, he predicted would rush into the flock.

    "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves." -2 Peter 2:1 Every church movement, every ...read more

    What was your response the last time someone hurt you? Perhaps you felt the urge to retaliate. Maybe you took no action, but instead harbored bitterness in your heart. If so, you failed to realize that you do great damage to yourself when you have an un

    This word “ignorant” occurs 13 times in the Bible and is connected with some important spiritual facts we should all know. That is why today we cover the spiritual Truth that the past many times teaches us how to live today.

    IGNORANT SERIES: JUST SAY NO TO “HAKUNA MATATA” 1 CORINTHIANS 10:1-13 INTRODUCTION According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the word “ignorant” means unaware or uniformed.

    There are two possible directions that renewal may take. Renewal can go in the direction of preservation, which is restoration. It is an attempt to restore to the original and maintain the past. We restore old cars, furniture, houses, and many other items

    Being Concerned For Others

     | 5,514 views

    People are hurting, depressed, confused, messed up, strung out, suicidal, emasculated, crushed, rejected, and so on they are not worried about how much you shout, speak in tongues, the robe you have, your title, position, they just want to know that you are concerned and are willing to help them.

    BEING CONCERNED FOR OTHERS By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Especially over the past 6 years I have dealt with the topic of leaving religion and coming into Kingdom, being Kingdom minded and doing the purpose of Kingdom and not being hindered, bound, or mislead by religion, customs, doctrines of ...read more

    Sermon # 51 - Obedience God Desires Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 16, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 391 views

    Joseph and Mary are great examples of ones who implicitly obeyed God, and thereby were instrumental in being channels to bring forth and raise Jesus, the Son of God. Are we willing to obey God, despite not having logical reasons to do so and even when it is hard to do so?

    For our meditation today we will consider 1 Samuel 15:22, “And Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.” (ESV) The prophet Samuel spoke these ...read more

    Liar And Thief At The Gate Of Heaven Series

     | 6,576 views

    Despite his past, Jacob encounters God and sees that nothing is the same. God in Christ shows us how to protect ourselves from the devil’s claim that life is ordinary and meaningless.

    Last week we established the fact that Jacob was a cheat. After that incident, and before the incident we read of today, we learn that he is a liar and a thief as well. You all know the story of how Jacob masquerades as Esau to obtain his father Issac’s blessing. It is not too much later that ...read more

    When Christmas is past - the joy and the glory of it - what do we have left? This sermon tells us what remains after the strains of "Silent Night, Holy Night" have ceased.

    Only The Star Remains; Isaiah 63:7-9; Matthew 2: 1-18 The miraculous, glorious birth is over. The shepherds have probably left the birth-place to return to their keeping watch over their flocks. The friendly beasts that attended this birth, feeling the stir of excitement that animals feel when ...read more

    The purpose of this sermon is to show Christians 3 results of looking back at problems, events, or things that have gone on in the past once you have put your hand to the plough in service to Christ.
