What Is God Doing To Us?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 30, 2020

Most of the time when this question is asked it's in the negative form. "God, why are you doing this?" Perhaps you've asked this question since the pandemic started. But today I'll be looking at this in a positive way regarding the things God does to and for us.

Choose Joy

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Dec 10, 2021

There is a distinct difference between happiness and the joy that Christ offers in a loving and obedient relationship with Him.

WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS FAIL TO EXPERIENCE REAL JOY AND REAL PEACE? COULD IT BE THAT TOO MANY ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE “PASSING PLEASURES” OF THIS WORLD?

Preaching From Philippians #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more

The Prayer Of Thanksgiving Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

We need to see that the only way to be a happy Christian, who can even make prayer time a fun time, is to forget the bad past, and remember those things that fill our minds with a sense of gratitude.

My earliest childhood memories of being in church are of the rope that I could ride. The thick rope hung down through the ceiling in the church entry way.
