Bread For Life Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 23, 2017

John doesn’t use the language of miracles, or wonders, because he wants us to understand that these things point beyond themselves. They’re signs of God’s kingdom. It’s just as important that we pay attention to them, and that we understand them.

Sermon by Rev George Hemmings I want to start this morning with a quick quiz. What do these signs mean? The first is easy. What about this one? Easy again. The great thing about signs is that they’re universal. No matter where you are you know what this sign is telling you. Signs are ...read more

A Challenge Of True Faith: Give Ye Them To Eat

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 20, 2019

You give them something to eat. We cannot be true disciples of Jesus with this dead faith, He wouldn’t allow it then and he doesn’t allow it now.

The Testing & Teaching Of The Feeding Of The Five Thousand

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 26, 2022

You probably know that what we learn after we are out of school is much more than what we learned in the classrooms while we were in school.

A mistake many high school students make is to think that one day they will graduate and never have to apply in their daily living any of the things they learned in those classrooms in the past twelve years. The reason they think that way is because we have been trained to think of a classroom ...read more
