    What does it mean to be "in Christ" and how do we get there? This lesson answers these questions from an overall scriptural perspective.

    "In Christ" I Am: A Child of God, Galatians 3:26-27, "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."

    Today, If You Hear His Voice . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 1, 2021
     | 3,595 views

    The possibility of falling away from Christ is greater than most of us think--no one is entirely immune from this awful outcome. It all begins with how we come to respond to God's voice, when we know He has spoken to us, and even in small things, choose to ignore Him.

    One of the great challenges of the pastoral profession is discerning who to help among those who are in evident financial need, and when to help them, and then how much to help them. Despite our best and most sincere efforts, pastors young and old, sometimes fail. I remember well the story of a ...read more

    Where’s your fruit, Church? Maybe the world doesn’t see much fruit from us because we’re hiding out like Moses and making excuses instead of jumping into action. God sometimes asks us to do difficult things. Will we trust Him? Do we respond in faith or with excuses when God calls?

    Last week, we heard a powerful message on the topic of faith and works... about how faith without works is dead. The pastor said, “Focus on God, and then He through you will produce the fruit... You can’t do anything for God... but God through you can do amazing, amazing, amazing things!” He ...read more

    Be Careful What You Pray For

     | 2,838 views

    We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

    But some of us do not have to be reminded because there are all kinds of emergencies that come up each day that remind us to pray.

    Issachar And Zebulun Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022
     | 3,444 views

    The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

    Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

    Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022
     | 1,836 views

    As I read through this passage, it appears that Elijah is testing Elisha.

    Look at verse 2. He said to Elisha, “...Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el...” But notice Elisha’s response in that same verse, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...” Then look at verse 4. Elijah seems to test Elisha again. He ...read more
