Why Christians Are Different? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

We are in a series of sermons called, The Seven Practices of a Healthy Christian. This week we’re focusing on “Why Christians are different” by examining our giving.

Part One (This message is in two parts as the offering separates it.) This morning I want to talk about, “Why Christians Are Different.” We are different in many ways from the rest of the American population but one of the ways we are different is in how we use our money. I want to call your ...read more

Apathy, Half-Heartedness, Change

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jun 4, 2021

Has your daily life destroyed your love of living. Apathy and half-heartedness has stolen our first love. King Jehoahaz took lightly the old preacher's plan for a complete victory. Does your zeal show?

Won't You Be My Neighbor? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 11, 2021

The Bible says that our love for our enemies is proof that we are believers in Christ.

One of the more famous stories in all of literature comes from the earliest parts of our Bible. Cain and Abel, the children of Adam and Eve, are in conflict Cain actually murders Abel. God quickly confronts Cain with these words: “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my ...read more

Faithful Father

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Jun 19, 2021

Fathers are to invite your children to receive, to inspire your children to obey God, to influence your children to fear God, to instruct your children to reflect the way of God, and to invoke your children to remember God.

Faithful Fathers God said: "And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse." (Malachi 4:.6). God finishes the Old Testament by talking about fathers and their families. Malachi ...read more

These Are The Days Of Elijah – "Days Like These Require A Sustained Effort”

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 22, 2021

During Elisha’s ministry, the Jordan River parted instantly, poisoned waters were healed, the borrowed iron ax head flowed to the surface, dead children had been raised to life, but the miracle Israel needed now would be difficult. This miracle will require a sustained effort.

What a great blessing Elisha had been to the nation of Israel. He faithfully used his God given double portion for the benefit of others. Israel was facing another persistent enemy, the Syrians. Prophet Elisha is on his death bed, over 80 years old in a weakened condition, yet God’s people are ...read more

Divine Direction Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul is praying for divine direction. This clearly implies that not all that happens is God’s providence, for what is the need for praying for specific divine direction if all that life brings us is his pre-determined direction anyway.

A common saying that has become well-known is, “Truth is stranger than fiction.” When one begins to study what has really happened in history he discovers that reality if just as amazing and interesting as anything that could be invented. For example, I read the story of a drifter in Australia ...read more

Revolutionary Resolutions Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul wrote to the Thessalonians and suggested some vital areas for spiritual progress that are as relevant today as they were then. In fact, if we resolved to carry them out, they would revolutionize our Christian witness in the world.

No one doubts that man has made a great deal of progress in the physical realm. In 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew their heavier than air machine, the whole distance of their first flight was less than the wing spread of a modern B 36. Progress has been obvious. The progress in medicine has ...read more

Awakened By A Pagan Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

All it takes for many pagans to become children of God is a faithful prophet who will awake at their rebuke; pray for their preservation, and begin to proclaim the person of Christ.

Jonah and Paul were alike in that they were both commissioned by God as missionaries to the Gentiles, and both were alike in their desire to go to Spain. Both of them had the experience of being on a storm tossed ship with pagans. These superficial similarities, however, become material for a ...read more

Grievous Mourning In Persia Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 14, 2021

The Jews were condemned and needed someone to intercede on their behalf before the king. All are born in a body of flesh, prone to sin, separated and condemned before God. Our only hope was for someone to provide deliverance for us and intercede on our behalf.

Grievous Mourning in Persia Esther 4: 1-9 As we continue our study in Esther, the tension and anxiety continue to increase for the Jews in captivity. Haman’s hatred for Mordecai prompted him to persuade Ahasuerus to sign a decree calling for the complete annihilation of the Jewish population ...read more

We all would agree that eyesight is something that is very important to all of us.
