No Evil Will Befall Thee Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 28, 2021

Let us study the life of a young man in the bible, who was challenged with such hardships in succession. However as this young man stood firm in his faith in the Lord, he not only overcame these calamities, but also by his faith in God, received the fulfillment of God's promises in his life.

Psalm 91 - No Evil Will Befall You We read in Psalm 91:10, “So nothing bad will happen to you. No diseases will come near your home.” (ERV) We have understood from our previous study that this promise of God as mentioned in the verse above, that ‘no diseases will come near your home,’ holds good ...read more

Faith And The Iron Chariots

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 4, 2021

We often believe that God can help us, but only up to a certain point. This belief conceals a measure of self-trust. If Judah had demonstrated the same faith about the chariots of iron as about the mountaineers, the chariots of iron would have been no better than chariots of straw.

Judges 1:19 - So the LORD was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron. Background: Joshua had divided the inheritance among the children of Israel. However, there were still lands to be ...read more

The Most Hateful Character In The Christmas Story

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 13, 2022

The Grinch was right, Christmas is not only about presents, but also about God’s gift of His son bringing, light, life and joy into the world. Today, I want to talk about the most hateful character of the Christmas story. Let’s look at Christmas from a different viewpoint.

Sermon: The Most Hateful Character in the Christmas Story Scripture Lesson: Matthew 2:1-12."Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod.

Salvation Foreshadowed In The Tabernacle

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 4, 2021

The arrangement of the Tabernacle can only be clearly understood through the revelation of God's plan of salvation revealed in Jesus Christ. It is an amazing thing to see and humbling to know we don't deserve it and yet we can have it by grace through faith in Jesus! Hallelujah!!!

Christ Foreshadowed In The Tabernacle Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Job 19:25-27 “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth.

The Wonderful Counselor Versus Secular Counselors

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Nov 29, 2023

Today, many counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists can help with our relationship, financial, marital, health, emotional, or behavioral problems. But what they can do is limited. Jesus cannot only help us find solutions for our problems but also change our hearts and transform our lives!

This research laboratory marked the beginning of psychology as an independent field of study. Wundt is known today ...read more

6 A Fully Known Overcomer Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on May 30, 2025

Living a fake life has its consequences, and one is leading other people astray. Could we have created a deity of Jesus--an idol only of Jesus, but actually do not know the real Jesus? Counterfeit Jesus, faith, and gospels have been around since the resurrection.

I read this story about a Chinese boy who wanted to learn about jade so he went to study with a talented old teacher. This gentle man put a piece of the precious stone into his hand and told him to hold it tight. Then he began to talk of philosophy, men, women, the sun and almost everything under ...read more

Be Ready And Prepared

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 25, 2024

As we approach the type of change or transformation God desires to do in our lives, there are three pieces of advice that God would like us to apply that will help us be better prepared and more ready not only for Jesus’s return, but also for what God wants to do in our lives.

The Difference Series

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Mar 26, 2024

Many people wonder what the big deal is about Jesus' resurrection since there have been other people who woke up from the dead. Jesus, however, is different from everyone else. He is the only one who rose and never did again. Halleluiah!

So what Jesus resurrected? Has he been the only one who has ever been raised from death? Yes, to this question, there is no big deal because so many other people have been raised from death. Example before Jesus: • The widow of Zarephath’s son - 1 Kings 17:22 • The Shunamite’s son - 2 Kings ...read more

Sermon # 38 - The Attributes Of God The Father Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 22, 2025

God is our loving Heavenly Father who sent His only begotten Son Jesus to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. When God is our Father we have forgiveness of sins, healing, redemption, His loving kindness and tender mercies and a life of total contentment.

For today’s meditation let us dwell on Psalm 103:13, “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.” (ESV) This Psalm that David wrote is based on the understanding that the relationship between the Almighty God and mankind is like that of a ...read more

Sermon # 47 - The Chosen Few Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 26, 2025

Though a majority followed Jesus, there were only a chosen few who in total obedience fulfilled the Great Commission. All through the bible God worked mighty wonders through a few faithful men and women. The question is, “Are we part of God’s chosen few?”

For our meditation today we will look at Luke 14:25, “Now a great number of people went with him.” (BBE) There was a multitude of people who followed Jesus while He was here on earth. Though these people were from various vocations, they set them aside, to follow Jesus as He travelled and preached ...read more

Whom Shall I Fear Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 2, 2025

Things and people that we fear take a variety of forms. Jesus urges us to not fear those who can only do things to us in this life, but to fear Him who has power over eternity - and yet because of His great love, we should not fear Him.

Introduction There are things that all of us fear. What may cause me fear might not be what causes you fear and vice versa. Last night we were visiting with some folks and were reminiscing a bit about one of the fear inducing and adrenaline pumping experiences we had - bungee jumping. Fear, ...read more

Plastic Faith

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

The Wages Of Sin Is 'aaaughh!' Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025

Sin always pays its wages — and the result is death. We all run somewhere when confronted with our guilt — but where we run makes all the difference. Temporary fixes and “spiritual tourniquets” cannot save us; only Jesus can bring true healing and freedom.

Any Old Bush Will Do

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 29, 2025

The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more
