One Minute To Midnight Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022

We look in the O.T. where God delivered right at the last moment. The trial required faith and patience. One minute to midnight - right at the last moment. The testing of our faith brings glory to God when the child of His love proves the faith that is genuine.

ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT This message will look at intervention in the nick of time. I don’t know if the expression “the nick of time” is known around the world, but it means “just in time”, “at the last moment”. “One minute to midnight,” is a similar expression, and it is surprising how God ...read more

"why The Gospel May Cause An Uproar"

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 31, 2022

Felix Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 11, 2022

Felix represents many people intrigued by the gospel but recognizes that surrendering to it means losing status, power, or control of their own lives. Mere exposure to truth does not necessarily enlighten the heart, and Felix is an excellent example of that.

Felix Felix was Festus' predecessor. He imprisoned Paul but allowed him to speak in his defense. He hoped Paul would offer him a bribe, but he never did. Festus thought Paul was delusional, but he did not think that was cause for putting him to death or locking him up, so he let him ...read more
