Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

New Year's: We all get excited about new things and a fresh start, but this message speaks about another kind of new beginning, which is receiving a brand new spiritual life as a child of God!

As you all know, the New Year is upon us. The entrance of the New Year is an exciting moment for most people, and I think this is because we look forward to and anticipate having new experiences.

Sabbath Rest Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 16, 2021

Labor Day: The word "sabbath" has something to do with "rest." But like the word “sabbath,” the word “rest” has become lost in American society. This message brings awareness to a forgotten and important spiritual principle.

This morning we are going to take a look at “Sabbath Rest,” and try to understand what it is. The word “sabbath” seems so foreign to us today, and whenever we hear the word we tend to think of Sundays or going to church; however, that’s not entirely what sabbath is about. In the Bible the sabbath ...read more

Your Maker Is Your Husband Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 17, 2021

This morning, for our Mother’s Day message, I’m going to approach this holiday from a different angle. The normal approach is to celebrate our mothers and compliment them for their many sacrifices, which is definitely warranted; however, today, I going to share some practical help from the ...read more

Overcoming With Thanksgiving Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Nov 9, 2021

Thanksgiving Holiday: God's grace results in thanksgiving, and a grateful heart enables believers to withstand hardship. A thankful heart also helps us to see God’s ability to work through our pain for His glory.

For our Thanksgiving holiday message, I want to open with a little humor. “A kindergarten teacher was telling her students all about the Pilgrims as she prepared them for the Thanksgiving season. After one little girl had gone home and shared the details she remembered from her teacher’s lesson, ...read more

This message is intended to bring an awareness of the unseen war that’s all around us, and to reveal our weapons and equipment with which we can engage in spiritual battle and defend ourselves against our spiritual enemy.

In the last sermon, 1 Peter 5:1-4, he was dealing with the Elders of the church. Today we call Elders, Pastors, Ministers, or Preachers.

Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the ...read more

How Can We Show The Lord We Love Him ?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

As we take a close look at this text, we see a picture of the Lord and the twelve disciples gathered for their Passover supper.

The disciples had the question of who was the greatest among them on their minds, but Jesus had something entirely different on His mind. He was thinking of the one that would BETRAY HIM! One of the most painful experiences in life is to be betrayed by someone we love. • We all know the ...read more

One … But Different!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

When we look at a crowd of people, we see that each person is different. That difference can be seen in many ways.

Illus: Our difference reminds me of the three women who were convicted of criminal charges and were brought before a firing squad. • One was a redhead, and all the guns were pointed at her and the Captain said, “Ready, Aim…,” and the redhead hollered “Earthquake”. They all looked around and she ...read more

The Value Of A Child Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 31, 2021

Pro-life advocates use this Bible passage to show how God values the life of the unborn, while pro-choice advocates use this same Scripture in an attempt to justify abortion. This message looks at both sides of the debate.

Today, January 23, 2022, is recognized as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday in the Southern Baptist calendar; and so, I’m going to be discussing the value of the unborn child and have us look at the abortion debate.

Ministry is all about people, and when the Lord lays a calling on your heart it will involve or effect people in some way or another, because it is human beings whom God came to save through Jesus Christ. So, what are you supposed to do when the Lord calls you to a task that will involve working ...read more
