  • Judge Not, But Discern Wisely Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 15, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,018 views

    Jesus warned about the problems associated with criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement. He then said that we need to use discernment when dealing with some people.

    This morning, we are going to look at the problem of judging others. The definition for the word “judge” that applies to our passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often being “critical” ...read more

    Happy New Year! I’m so thankful that you’ve joined us in worship today! Let me guess — some of us probably made a resolution or two, did some self-evaluation, and set a few goals for the upcoming year. That’s something most of us do, and let me just say it’s a good thing. It’s important to take a ...read more

  • The Road To Rest

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 19, 2025
     | 595 views

    Jesus calls us to come and rest in Him. That word "Come" is a call to all who are weary and heavy-laden to come to Him. It's a compound word that means "here" and "come"--so, Jesus is giving His call to "Come here", to "Come here to Me!"

    The Road to Rest Matthew 11:25-30 John Bunyan's classic analogy of the Christian life, Pilgrim's Progress follows the journey of the main character named Christian as he travels from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, which describes the spiritual journey of a Christian towards ...read more

  • Unleavened Bread And The Passover - The Bread In The Lord’s Supper – The Meanings Of Them All Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 1, 2025
     | 428 views

    The bread in the Lord’s Supper. We examine the Jewish Passover and concentrate on the unleavened bread. The Lord’s Supper came from that Passover so we see how it relates. Different denominations treat the Lord’s Supper/Communion differently. We consider the leaven as well.

    UNLEAVENED BREAD AND THE PASSOVER - AND THE LORD’S SUPPER – THE MEANINGS OF THEM ALL The purpose of this article is not for dispute. It is to provide information. I suppose some will disagree with me on some point here and there, because not all things related to this message are clear cut. ...read more

    If you’re going to boast, boast about your service, suffering, and shame.

    When women get together, one might say, “I was hit by a car today," and all the other women will say, “You're kidding! What happened? Where? Are you all right?” When men get together, their conversation is very different. One might say, “I was hit by a car today," and I guarantee ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 928 views

    In the Book of Titus, Paul instructed him telling him to appoint elders in the churches. This by its statement proves God wants you to belong to a church and have a Pastor. How should I respond to the fact that God calls Pastors and wants us to follow one.

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 14, 2025

     | 735 views

    Faith that sits still is not the faith Christ calls us. Transformative faith changes how we react to the world around us. True faith wakes us up, renews our minds, and shines as a light for others to see Christ in us.

     | 200 views

    Jeremiah speaks of the LORD’S loving kindness and compassions yet all around is misery and suffering and death, even cannibalism, because of the Babylonian slaughter. How can this possibly be reconciled? Can abject suffering and death and a God of love be put together? Recall is important!

     | 1,966 views

    Does the Holy Spirit still speak? Absolutely. He speaks to us through his whispers, his witnesses, and his Word. And he may speak to you in other ways too, if you’re listening. “The true children of God are those who let God’s Spirit lead them” (Romans 8:14).

    The Spirit-filled Life (2) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 5/28/2017 If you’re like me, you may have grown up in a church that rarely if ever talked about the Holy Spirit. I don’t recall my pastor ever explaining who the Holy Spirit is or preaching sermons about Him. We ...read more
