All Men Shall Know…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

A man in South Carolina had some car problems, so he took his car to a local automobile garage to get his car repaired. The man went to pay for the repairs and pick his car up after being repaired.

As he was driving home, his car was doing the same thing as before he took it to the mechanic. He took it back to the mechanic the second time and once again he was told his car was repaired, but again, on the way home he discovered his car was still doing the same thing.

How To Get More Out Of The Church Service

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 10, 2020

Most people like bargains. Getting the most for the least amount invested. The same should be true of the time spent in our church services.

Most people like bargains. Getting the most for the least amount invested. The same should be true of the time spent in our church services.

Listening And Doing

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 26, 2020

Acting on faith waters faith. Listening to sermons and reading the Bible and doing nothing in response leads to...nothing. God wants way more than nothing for His people. So He's given us the gift and calling of being doers of the Word and not only hearers.

Sermon for January 26, 2020 - Listening and Doing [I am thankful to William Barclay's exposition of James chapter 1, which influences much of this message directly and indirectly.] Did you know that God truly cares about every aspect of your life? Sometimes people say that God is too big or ...read more

Orthodoxy, Orthopathy, And Orthopraxy: Know It, Feel It, Live It

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021

The Christian faith is not mere ideas, not a series of facts or depictions of reality, no, it's more. It's alive, and burning brightly like a fire. It's not mere emotions either, there's daily practice to it, a true walking and living of it.

How To Be A Biblical Believer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

In verse 25 James sums up the two requirements for being a truly biblical believer. Be receptive and be responsive. You start with a positive attitude and follow through with practical action.

Can a Christian be non-biblical? Can he defend teachings and practices that are contrary to Scripture? Can he reject those who are taught in God's Word? The Bible itself and history answer, yes. Yes it is possible to be a Christian who is more in love with his own opinions than with the ...read more

Lord Build Me In Obedience Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

Is it too much? Is it too hard? Sometimes when we read the Bible, we wonder, can it really be done? It seems like so much, it seems like such a high standard. I’ve wondered that at times.

"I've read that when Edward VI, the king of England in the 16th century, attended a worship service, he stood while the Word of God was read. He took notes during this time and later studied them with great care. Through the week he earnestly tried to apply them to his life. That's the ...read more

Reflections

Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 22, 2020

We cannot master the word of God, it must master us. It provides a mirror to help us see ourselves more accurately and act accordingly.

1. In his book, Glorious Finish, Daniel Henderson challenges us to imagine a world without mirrors, reflections, or pictures. There is no way to see how we look to others. Is our hair messy? Are we in need of make-up? Does our beard need trimming? Do these pants make me look fat? a. When Jewish ...read more
