Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 11, 2022

Nothing in all the world is more important to the world but the Blood of Jesus! Nothing but the blood of Jesus matters because [our own] “ … flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God” (I Corinthians 15:50 NIV).

WRECKING CREW Text: Acts 11:1 -18 Act 11:1-18  Now the apostles and the believers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also accepted the word of God.  (2)  So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him,  (3)  saying, "Why did ...read more

Remember Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 5, 2022

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Herschel wrote: “Much of the Bible’s demands can be comprised in one word … Remember” … which is why God commanded us to set up special days and special celebrations and activities … to “remember.”

“Mah nishtanah ha-lailah hazeh mikol ha-leilot?” Recognize it? If you were Jewish you would recognize it instantly.

I’m Waiting On A Yes

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on May 21, 2021

Waiting on the Lord to hear your request, and increase your faith

My brothers and sisters, this text is toned and tenured with faith as the component that brings the miracle to life, and so against the backdrop of the famous faith text of Hebrews 11:1 as it says, now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. From this verse we ...read more

Are The Winds Of Pentecost Still Blowing

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on May 23, 2021

Pentecost is not the idea of God, or a piece of God, but the real presence of the Living God the hope of Glory in you. On Pentecost there was a new wind that was set loose upon the earth with a fresh breath of hope and empowerment. The church was born from the wind and fire of Pentecost.

“Are the Winds of Pentecost still Blowing” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER:- SCRIPTURE: Acts 2:1-4 “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Facing The Storm Of Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

In 1999, Hurricane Floyd appeared on the radar screen as it approached the shores of Florida. Governor Jeb Bush described it as a “Monster of a storm”, that was coming in their direction, and they really did not know how to deal with it.

One of the things that made this such a dreadful storm was that it had strong winds, and it was over three hundred miles wide. Florida was blessed, because it came up to the coast line and made a turn. When South Carolina was told to “Watch out”, because the storm was heading in their direction, ...read more

Harmless As Doves

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Jesus can find some good for illustration in every creature He has made. This would be an interesting study, but for now we are limiting our attention to the last of these creatures--the dove.

A small boy sat by the side of a pool fishing. "What are you fishing for," asked a man who passed by. "Sharks," replied the boy. "But there are no sharks in that pool my little man," said the stranger. "There ain't any fish in this pool at all," ...read more

The Bible And Astronomy Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

Psa. 138:6 reminds us, "Though the Lord be high, He has respect unto the lowly." Astronomy keeps us humble, but also helps us maintain a spirit of adoration for the Creator of all the wonders it discovers.

When Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father He took a throne that made Him sovereign, not just over the earth, but over the entire universe. Before He ascended He said, "All power in heaven and on earth is given unto me." Paul tells us that He was exalted above all ...read more

The Meaning Of Easter

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 19, 2021

Jesus will give existence to your decomposed bodies. He allows no one to go out of existence.

The Replacement

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

Every Christian should live the Christian life in such a way that when he/she dies they will leave behind a legacy that they lived a godly life.

But it is sad to say that many in our churches when they die, their death will not affect God’s church whatsoever! At their death their name will be removed from the church roll and the church will continue without any interruption whatsoever. But there are others we have in this church when they ...read more

Celebrating the risen Christ who came to give us life, today and forever.

Easter Sunday April 4, 2021 I’m going to make a confession that I think many of you know about me. I am a sore loser! Are you that way!?

Managing Money God's Way: Sharing Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 24, 2022

Money plays a big role in our lives, so it shouldn't surprise us that the Bible has a lot to say about it. In this sermon, we discover that sharing our money should be purposeful, pleasant, and productive.

Managing Money God’s Way: Sharing Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 10/9/16 Most of us have probably heard the saying, “Money talks.” Someone once said, “If money talks, all it ever says to me is good-bye!” I heard a story recently though about some talking money.

The Book Of Mark #13

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

This is a very interesting passage of scripture. I have asked the Lord to help me make it as clear as possible.

Illus: I do not want to be like the woman who had a cat that she truly loved, named “Pumpkin”. She cherished this cat more than anything in her life.

King Asa … His Faithfulness And Foolishness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age.

Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations. While much of the Old Testament did deal with Israel and the ceremonial laws that were given to them, a great deal of ...read more
