    Darkness Into Light Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 15, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,455 views

    We're the light of the world and children of light. Allow that light to shine brightly in our lives to light up those around us. Let’s expose their deeds as we seek to shine brightly for Jesus, so that they may be quickened and made light themselves.

    This is an image from my childhood that has just stuck with me. It’s from one of those movies that we used to watch over and over again, at least every holiday. It’s from the last of the original, and good, Star Wars movies. In my mind, it’s one of the pivotal scenes from the ...read more

    Some thoughts about thanksgiving from God’s Word. 1- In a list of sins ingratitude is a big one 2- In the presence of all people we must give thanks 3- In a world of impurity there must be thanksgiving 4- In the midst of asking we must give thanks

    INTRO.- ILL.- It was on Thanksgiving many years ago that actress Helen Hayes cooked her first turkey.

    God's Great Love

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 18, 2021
     | 1,729 views

    Let me ask you TWO questions: (1) WHY DOES GOD LOVE MANKIND? Why? Because the Bible says GOD IS LOVE! He can’t help Himself - GOD IS LOVE! (2) WHY DIDN’T GOD MAKE US AS ROBOTS AND CREATE US WHERE WE ALL WOULD HAVE TO LOVE HIM?

    Let me tell you why… Illus: Most of us, have seen some of these little doll babies that the toy companies make. As these young girls hold these dolls in their arms, these words come from the play doll baby; “I love you!” God could have created us to be like that if He chose to do so! HE IS THE ...read more

    One Man Shall Die For All Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,081 views

    Good Friday: All of us have ideas about the person of Christ and His work. Because of their presuppositions, the chief priests and Pharisees were unable to see the "truth" that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah and Savior.

    I’ve entitled our message this evening, “One Man Shall Die for All.” We call the day that our Lord died on the cross Good Friday, but there was nothing good about it for Jesus. This day is called “good,” because it’s good for us. In a prophecy of the Messiah, in Isaiah 53:4-5, we read, “Surely, ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022
     | 1,894 views

    Today's message is about an attribute that we generally do not associate as being an attribute of God. That is, the attribute of jealousy.

    God is a jealous God. The attribute of jealousy is very closely related to the attribute of love. Illus: A lady went to her pastor for some counseling. She had some serious problems in her marriage. When the pastor asked her what was the problem, she said that her husband did not love her. The ...read more

    What To Do If Salvation Stops Saving (Updated)

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Mar 6, 2025
     | 190 views

    Many can mark the day of their salvation. At some point they saw the need to ask for help from above and Jesus Yeshua heard their prayer and sent the gift of the Holy Spirit. However life doesn’t always provide us safe passage and a worldly or even religious mindset can interrupt a sure salvation.

    Strife is a "work of the flesh" that must be avoided by Christians. This is a Biblical study on how to overcome this fault and ways to assist others with this problem.

    GALATIANS 5:19-20 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, STRIFE,...
