    When Jesus said Ye are the salt of the earth He was making a proclamation and expectation. He is expecting for us to start something, to ignite a fire in people, to be the catalyst transforming the stinking mess of the world to burn for reconciliation with God.

Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Earlier this week I posted on my FB page I GOT A TESTIMONY and I told how God orchestrated an encounter this week with 2 young men as I came out of Dollartree, one of whom was a Muslim.

    The late Steve McQueen sought an opportunity to speak with Billy Graham about his struggle that God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ. Nicodemus had a similar meeting when he spoke with Jesus about being born again.

    NICK AT NIGHT Text: John 3:1-17 A famous actor by the name of Steve McQueen was much like the characters that he portrayed on screen. He was successful until alcohol and a failed marriage left him empty and broken. He attended a crusade led by one of Billy Graham’s ...read more

    Point your finger in the right direction.

    John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. We spend too much time condemning the world we are called to lead to salvation. Jesus only had condemning words for the religious leaders who thought they were righteous and ...read more

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on May 29, 2021
     | 8,820 views

    This is the first Sunday after the Pentecost. Trinity Sunday is the beginning of the Year. So this sermon is a journey. It is also the church’s birth story and as some have said the mini Bible sermon.

    Main text: Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost to honor the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although the word “trinity” does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages). The concept of the trinity ...read more

    God's Errands

    Henry Ward Beecher wrote, “Difficulties are God’s errands and when we are sent upon them, we should esteem it a proof of God’s confidence.”

    GOD’S ERRANDS Who runs most of the errands at your house? Who is the one most likely to take that “short journey” to deliver something or pick up something? It seems as if a number of the errands one might run are often for someone else. We can spend more than half of our free time out running ...read more

    Effectively Waiting On The Lord Amid A Pandemic

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 24, 2021
     | 2,999 views

    Genesis chapter 18 teaches us how to effectively wait on the Lord. We all tend to struggle most when we are watching the clock and waiting for time to past. If you have ever gone on a road trip with Children, the one question asked again and again is, “Are we there yet?”

    In Genesis 17-19, we have a revealing story of an interview between God and Abraham, His friend. Abraham proved to be a true Friend of God, while Lot proved to be a friend of the world. Not only is God Abraham’s friend, God is a friend of Sinners. After years of holding on to a promise from God, ...read more

    Hope Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 27, 2021
     | 4,552 views

    Christmas is a time to reflect upon the height and depth and breath of God’s love and the lengths that He will go to to show us His love. Christmas is a time to remember that God doesn’t demand that we love Him but gives us the choice to love Him.

    In the beginning was … nothing? A “formless void” (Genesis 1:1)? Yet the Bible says a wind (the breath of God) swept over the surface of the "water" (Genesis 1:2) so there something there ... maybe everything there … the particles ... all the molecules, all of the “substance” of the ...read more

    Independence - There Ain't No Such Thing

    We Americans like to think of ourselves as independent people but we never can truly be totally independent. In the spiritual world we are slaves in the kingdom of darkness or the kingdom of light but the motivation is entirely different!
