     | 1,732 views

    How do we minister to the Lord? What does that even mean? In this message, we are going to find out together what ministering to the Lord really is and how to do that in order to remain in the presence of our God.

    Our theme verse for this message is 1 John 4:19 LEB 19 We love, because he first loved us. Where Is The Lord? We live in a time where many are far from the Lord. And many say that God doesn’t answer. Where is the manifestation of the power of God? But Jesus prayed that we would be one in them ...read more

     | 2,534 views

    As Jesus begins his ministry, he calls out several men to follow him. This sermon considers the first disciples that Jesus calls.

    We all like to follow someone at various times in our lives. We may be motivated by curiosity, fear, ambition, knowledge, information. Sometimes our following is a simple and non-committed social media follow - we might just want to be in the know. Other times our following results in a certain ...read more

    Where Do We Find Comfort (Friend’s Day)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 17, 2022
     | 2,107 views

    Most of us, at one time or another, have attempted to comfort someone in distress. We all have different ideas about how this should be done.

    The different ways we do this, reminds me of three elderly men who were passing the time discussing the ideal way of leaving this world. • The first man, age seventy-five, said he would prefer to go to sleep one night and not wake up the next day. • The second man, age eighty-five, said he would ...read more

     | 7,186 views

    This message looks at an account of how encouragement was extended to a young man who had made a mistake, and reveals that encouragement is greatly beneficial in our endeavors at expanding the Lord’s kingdom.

    In a world where people are often quick to judge and criticize, we’re all in need of some encouragement, wouldn’t you agree? I am going to be preaching about encouragement this morning. So, what is encouragement? Well, it’s defined as “the act of giving courage, or confidence of success.”(1) I ...read more

    Do you feel as though you are not experiencing the Lord, or you feel as though you are having a dry spell in your life? Begin directing all of your heart unto the Lord, and sing praises unto His name, and He will show up in your life.

    This evening I want to talk about the importance of praising God. Just how important is it that the Lord receives praise from His people? Allow me to open with a Biblical example. In Luke 19:37-38, the Scripture tells us: “Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the ...read more

    The Reality Of Hell

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

     | 5,356 views

    The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

    I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more
