What Do Your Eyes See Or Glance At? Series

Contributed by Isaiah Banjo on Nov 30, 2020

Many homes have been destroyed by lack of restraint in sharing information about what they see publicly. There are things meant only for private consumption. You do not expose your secrets to a third party but keep it within your hearts.

Let me start by telling you an interesting and funny piece about some pastors titled, “PASTORS’ PERSONAL PROBLEMS (PPP)” A renowned pastor in diaspora held a crusade and invited two other top preachers from two different countries.

Folly Brings Downfall

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jan 19, 2022

Sometimes success hits our head and we rashly do things that are contrary to our character. Anybody listening? We need a pinch of failure, pain and humiliation NOW AND THEN in order to keep us grounded in God and His ways. Agree?

The Bible And Astronomy Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

Psa. 138:6 reminds us, "Though the Lord be high, He has respect unto the lowly." Astronomy keeps us humble, but also helps us maintain a spirit of adoration for the Creator of all the wonders it discovers.

When Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father He took a throne that made Him sovereign, not just over the earth, but over the entire universe. Before He ascended He said, "All power in heaven and on earth is given unto me." Paul tells us that He was exalted above all ...read more

Growing In Our Faith

Contributed by Darrell Williams on Sep 22, 2021

Fire Of The Contentious

Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Aug 27, 2022

A contentious spirit is like fire which burns up all that is good, and puts families, friends and co-workers at odds. This spirit finds a small fire of strife, kindles it and keeps feeding the issues which cause distrust, hatred or malice.

Fire Of the Contentious The Negative Influences of a Person Who Seeks Strife The King James Bible tells us “As coals are to burning coals, and wood to a fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.” (Proverbs 26:21) “Contentious” (?????? ma?ôn) means to be argumentative, a person who is ...read more

Endure For The Gospel

Contributed by Charles Mallory on May 27, 2022

Using Jeremiah's struggle "not to quit" during a period of frustration, persecution, and exhaustion, we can learn to stand firm in adversity and allow God to empower us to keep living out and proclaiming the Gospel.

WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FAITH AND ESPECIALLY MINISTERING IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, IT STILL CAN MAKE US CRINGE, IF NOT BRISTLE INSIDE, WHEN WE HEAR OTHERS DEMAND THAT WE BE MORE TOLERANT, SENSITIVE, PROGRESSIVE AND INCLUSIVE.

All We Like Sheep Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

We, as Christians, can go astray like sheep. Sin keeps zapping us like an electric fence, but we eventually become numb to it and cross over to enter the dangers of the world. The Shepherd will then react. So, how will He react?

To begin this evening’s message, I would like to share a verse from the Old Testament. Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” All of us have gone astray from God at some point in our ...read more

The Book Of Galatians – Background And Chapter 1 - Message 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 27, 2023

God used Paul mightily to bring the gospel to the Galatians, but later on, the false teachers of the Law were trying to make these converts keep some of the Law and the Sabbath. Paul had to counteract their evil plans and chastises the Galatians, then teaches them.

THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – BACKGROUND AND CHAPTER 1 - Message 1 SERMON CENTRAL We are going to begin a series in the book of Galatians. Paul was upset with the churches of Galatia because they had departed from the pure truth of the gospel and turned to teachings of man. The purpose of Galatians is ...read more

The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 1:2-10 - Message 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 27, 2023

Paul takes on the false teachers with no holes barred. Twice he states that they be accursed. This message examines the false gospel that had ensnared the Galatian churches to bring the grace of God into disrepute. True grace of God has no part in keeping the Law.

THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 1:2-10 - MESSAGE 2 This message continues from Part 1 (A). PAUL’S COMPANIONS IN UNITY AND CONFIRMATION {{Galatians 1:2 “and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.”}} This wonderful truth of brotherhood strengthens the purpose of the ...read more

Ash Wednesday 2020 Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 1, 2022

If God is love, and He certainly is, and if He became human so that we could, when we fall asleep for the last time, be swept up into the awesome beauty, truth, and goodness of the Trinity, then we should keep ourselves ready.
