The Growth & Flourishing Of The Christian Mind

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

God works in mysterious ways, as they say. And how truly mysterious it is and difficult to comprehend. Just when you think you've discovered a way in which God operates, he surprises you with another.

God works in mysterious ways, as they say. And how truly mysterious it is and difficult to comprehend. Just when you think you've discovered a way in which God operates, he surprises you with another. At times he seems distant. At times it seems hopeless. At other times he is close. ...read more

The Wonder Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

Just scratching the surface of a match can cause it to burst into flame and though that is all we can do with Luke's record, scratch the surface, it is hoped that this will kindle a flame of wonder in our hearts for Christmas.

Typical of last minute Christmas shoppers, a mother was running furiously from store to store.

A Time To Repent Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on May 6, 2021

Daniel took it on himself to intercede for the entire nation. He was just one person; yet the Lord heard his prayer. God will intervene on behalf of the few who fear His name and seek His face.

In our message today, we’re going to view Daniel’s prayer of repentance for the nation of Israel. Donald S. Whitney says of prayer, that God “expects us to pray just as a general expects to hear from his soldiers in the battle” and that “prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic ...read more

Does God Make Good All Bad Life Experiences? A Deep Exegesis Of Romans 8:28.

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 19, 2019

It seems very clear from both the Bible and life itself that everything does not work together for good just because a person loves God. Many evil things happen to those who love God.

We Are Living Epistles

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

Paul said that our lives are written epistles, and that they are being read by the entire world. He said this in order to reveal just how much influence believers can have in impacting the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This evening we are going to discuss the power of the written letter. Have you ever thought about how powerful writing is? For example, consider how writing is used by the news media to push certain political agendas and worldviews. There’s just something about the written (or printed) word that ...read more

Triumph & Suffering

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 12, 2022

Triumph and suffering often go hand in hand. Jesus went from triumph on Palm Sunday, prophesied His ultimate triumph, and then experienced horrendous suffering. Yet His suffering was just the beginning of the ultimate victory.

The Armor Of God 7 Of 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

The reason many of us like to study on the Armor of God is because Paul does not just tell us to run for the hills. He also tells us what we are to do once we get to the hills.

He tells us in this passage of scripture how we can DEFEND OURSELVES and how we can DEFEAT SATAN. One of the obvious problems it seems among Christians today is that they are not aware they are at war with Satan.

How To Get Rid Of Your Enemies

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 14, 2022

The world is torn apart by people reacting to their enemies in ways that just cause further provocation and pain. We all need to know God's way for responding to those who come at us as enemies.

What do you do when people do nasty things to you? What do you do when things happen like someone treating you like an enemy, hating you, cussing you out, abusing you or stealing your coat? That makes it harder to be a Christian, doesn’t it? Everyone here has had an encounter with someone who is ...read more

The Lure And Cure Of Lust

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

It is no wonder the Pharisees wanted Him out of the picture. He just made the majority of the human race murderers by making anger equivalent to murder, and now He makes the majority adulterers by making lust equivalent to adultery.

Show me the man who has never looked at a woman with lust, and I'll show you a man with a white cane who was blind from birth. None but a blind man could get through life and not be captivated by God's crowning work of creation-woman. Anyone with an ounce of artistic appreciation knows ...read more
