Dream Awareness Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

We want to look at the second dream of Jacob in which we see the dream as a source of insight and instruction.

Doctor Paul Tournier, the great Christian psychiatrist, tells of the child who once remarked to his mother, "Dreams are God's movies, arn't they?" Doctor Tournier believes they are often just that. The early Christians believed dreams were a tool God used to give guidance, but ...read more

The Little Flock Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

God's plans are always big, but His means for getting His big plans achieved are always small.

The world is full of interesting stories about numbers. For example, why does the President get a 21 gun salute. It all began in 1776 when Francis Hopkinson, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, noticed that if you add up the numbers in 1776 they come to 21. He said to himself, ...read more

Talk Is Cheap

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 6, 2019

Actions or works may not create faith but they can reveal the substance and form of a person’s faith. To me, works is our faith made visible. “For just as a body without the spirit is dead” … a corpse … “so faith without works is also dead” … a corpse (James 2:26).

[Put up picture of me on screen.] Let me tell you a little bit about that man in the photo. He was 40 years old when that picture was taken. He was 20 months sober at the time. Well … “sober” is not the right word. He was a dry drunk” … which means that he hadn’t picked up a drink in 20 ...read more

The Enneagram And Inner Healing - Psycho-Heresy In The Church

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 8, 2019

Within the church there has been a great influx of human psychology mixed with Scripture. This has resulted in a convoluted understanding of the human mind and heart, as they are examined and studied from man’s perspective, rather than from God’s.

The Enneagram System of personality typing has surged in popularity among American Christians, especially among the young who are culturally steeped in both the practices of church doctrine and dogma as well as of the secular world, and are not content with what the Bible says about the human ...read more

Paul Charged By The Jews Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 4, 2017

The appearance of Paul before Gallio is important in two respects. First, it established a precedent for the manner in which the Roman leaders should consider charges against Christians brought before them. Second, the mention of Gallio..

Kingdom Will Not Continue

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Jul 27, 2016

To show that GOD made us in His image, in the image of grace, not a kingdom of works and performances but of power.

I. EXORDIUM: Are you a self-made man? No. I'm made by grace. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (Amplified Bible) But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are ...read more

The Unstoppable Kingdom Mark 4:21-34 Good morning. Jesus spoke many times about the Kingdom of God with parables to the religious leaders who would not believe in Him. Luke 17:20 One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Kingdom of God come?" Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of ...read more

Give Sin No Quarter

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 21, 2023

We fight sin in our lives and in the life of the nation.

Perry’s Scope 9 Give Sin No Quarter For years I have heard Christians are to draw a parallel to heaven with the Hebrews’ entrance into Canaan. Songs like “On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand” reinforce this idea. The first stanza of the song reads: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and cast a ...read more

Should I Say Yes Or Should I Say No

Contributed by Abiodun Adeniyi on Apr 22, 2025

Marriage negotiation can be a very risky venture because no one knows tomorrow. We can only as human make some subjective and objective projections and calculation which in the end may not be accurate.

The Spirit Of Fear

Contributed by Brian Harrell on Nov 29, 2021

Let's talk about one of the most commonly shared emotions: fear. Fear will cause us to be beaten down, defeated, have drooping shoulders, shuffling feet, unsmiling, critical, distrusting kind of people. How do you know if you are living with the toxin of fear?

This morning I want to talk about one of the most commonly shared emotions in this building today. It is fear. If there's anything that I think that this pandemic has created and spread more than the disease itself, it is fear. Life is scary. The world is scary Fear will cause us to be beaten ...read more

Love Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021

We often think of love as some syrupy, sweet, tingly, sentimental, ooey, gooey feeling. Biblical or divine love, however, is a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good for the one being loved.

According to the musical wisdom of John, Paul, George, and Ringo ... otherwise known as "The Beatles" to us older folks … “All you need is love, love … love is all you need.” Well … that and food … and shelter … and air … and sleep … Love is literally in the air. You hear that word ...read more

Follow My Example Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 19, 2021

Jesus invites us into a fellowship with all of humanity. In this family there is no room for prejudice. We understand the value of grace in our lives when we busy ourselves with extending grace and fellowship to all people, having a philanthropic spirit.

In the early years of my ministry Christianity was too often measured by church attendance and how well you excelled at Bible trivia. Don’t get me wrong, as observed through these messages, a key part of discipleship must focus on the study of Scripture. We will not fair well as Christians in the ...read more
