Failure To Understand The Light

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 14, 2023

So, with all these claims that Jesus has made, we find that people of every generation blurt out the same question, “Who are you?” Well, Jesus answers that question.

Tonight, we continue with Jesus’ discussion with the Pharisees. READ v. 25. Man asks a very basic question. Now Jesus had just made a phenomenal claim that He was the Light of the world.

What Is Truth?

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023

Wow. Has our society today lost hold on absolute truth or what? I shudder to think how blurred the line between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous will be five years from now! This message attempts to bring some clarity to that all-important question; what is truth?

What Is Truth? You and I live in a world that has almost totally rejected the existence of absolute truth. The current pervading mindset today seems to be that everyone has their own truth, and that everyone else must affirm them in whatever truth they claim to have—despite how ridiculous it may ...read more

Prejudice, hate, unforgiveness, loneliness and others are bad qualities that separate us from God. If we have any of these bad qualities, then we are not abiding in God’s Word.

What Makes Your Prayer Powerful? (Praying From The New Covenant 2) Series

Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on May 6, 2023

What makes the believer’s prayer powerful is not the verboseness of the speech, not the gyration or energy or loudness in our voice, it’s not even the number of scriptures we quote when we pray. Paul says, “for I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation…”

This is a continuation of the Praying From The New Covenant series. In my last message “Praying From Victory” as opposed to praying for victory, I mentioned that praying from victory is praying from the perspective of the finished work of Jesus on Calvary. And this is a perspective issue, it’s a ...read more

Sermon # 34 - A True Disciple Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 12, 2023

There are many who follow Jesus, but only a few who genuinely seek to live as His disciples. Let’s understand who a true disciple is, and what Jesus expects of those who are His disciples.

We read in Matthew 4:25, “Large crowds followed him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Cities, Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan River.” (GW) Great multitudes of people followed after Jesus while He was here on earth, and there were several reasons why they did so. As we study the ...read more

Sermon # 36 - The Bondage Breaker Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 26, 2023

Addictions are of various sorts, and if one has to overcome any addiction it is possible only through Jesus Christ. It is possible to live a life free from every bondage, and this sermon will tell you how.

We read in 2 Peter 2:19, “for we are slaves of anything that has conquered us.” (GNB) The above mentioned verse endorses the truth that a person becomes a slave to something, when they are overpowered by it.

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 23, 2021

Deep divisions over politics, pandemic responses, vaccines, racial and ethnic justice, and many other issues abound. The church should be a safe haven from the divisiveness. How do we live together in unity that the psalmist celebrates? What does it mean to live in unity with today’s realities?
