  • Words Of Wisdom For Graduates

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 10, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 19,080 views

    In this passage, Solomon is acting as a teacher instructing his students about life. He concludes with his observations about the purpose of life; and in his closing remarks we find four words of wisdom that can be applied to graduates.

    Today is our Graduate Recognition, and I feel led to share from a passage in Ecclesiastes. This book is believed to have been written by Solomon, since Ecclesiastes 1:1 says that these are “the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” To get started, I think these words can ...read more

    Worship should be done in "Spirit and in Truth"... but what does that mean? How will I know when I've worshipped that way? And what difference would it make if didn't worship that way?

    OPEN: A few years ago, Scott (our Family Minister) and I heard that a church building over by High School was for sale and Scott thought it would be a great place for a youth outreach program (Scott’s a genius at lining up grants for things like that). Obviously, we didn’t purchase it … but we did ...read more

  • Matthew

    This is an introductory lesson on Matthew’s gospel. It includes a lot of specific content analysis taken largely from Mark Allan Powell’s book, The Gospels. It closes with an appeal to realize the gift of God’s love in Jesus as Emanuel.

    Introducing Matthew’s gospel! The first book of the New Testament. (Not the first N T book to be written, but the first to appear in our Bibles). Matthew tells us where Jesus came from, who were his ancestors, how God caused a virgin named Mary to conceive and bear this One who is the Son of ...read more

  • Encouragement Series

    I suspect all of us can identify a Barnabas or two in our past who gave us a second chance. Maybe it was a parent or a relative or a teacher or a church leader or a close friend. Christianity means second chances.

    God wants to come to His world, but He wants to come to it through man. This is the mystery of our existence. He wants to come to this world through you. Proverbs 15:23 says, “A man has joy by an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word.” I enjoyed a Charles Schulz cartoon ...read more

  • Pray With Expectancy Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Jan 6, 2020
     | 15,805 views

    Prayer that Works takes work, along with persistence, risk, and righteousness before God. In this sermon, we're going to try to close the gap between what we say about prayer and what we practice.

    Good morning. I invite you to turn in your copy of God’s Word to James chapter 5, but also to put a bookmark in 1 Kings chapter 18, because we are going to spend some time there as well. The story is told of the western town that had experienced a hard drought. One of the local churches announced ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,398 views

    Christians are taught to love one another. However, what is it that causes us to love one another? How shall we love? John gives us a glimpse of the love we are to have in this brief letter to a man named Gaius.

    “The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no ...read more

    Most people aren’t happy when they’re put in jail, but the Apostle Paul had a thankful heart, even when things went the wrong way. He wrote this letter from prison in Rome!

    This morning we’re going to learn about God’s omnipresence. There are really three attributes of God that should always be kept together in your mind ­ they all begin with the four-letter prefix “omni”: Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. God

    Our Omnipresent God Since this is Super Bowl Sunday, I thought it would be a good idea to begin with some football terminology that has made its way into church.

  • Philadelphia: The Church With The Open Door

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 9, 2020
     | 6,411 views

    Like Smyrna, the Lord offered only encouragement for Philadelphia, with no rebuke. They were a people of little strength, and yet they held great potential. Christ promised to open doors no man could close. He reminded them of His preeminence and the security of their future.

    Philadelphia – The Church with the Open Door Revelation 3: 7-13 Philadelphia is the sixth church addressed by Jesus. Like Smyrna, Jesus offered no rebuke, only encouragement for their faithfulness and endurance in the midst of opposition. Jesus knew they were a people of “little strength,” and yet ...read more

    There are droves of Christians getting prepared to bake their cakes and eat all of them or maximum give to their close friends, uncles, aunties and grandmas…… I’m talking about sharing not from your abundance but from your suffering.

    Useless before, useful now! Philemon 1:11(Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.) As we are preparing and planning for the upcoming Christmas program on December 22, at our Shiloh Revival Church, we were giving a coat of paint for the gate. Thirteen years ...read more

  • Back To School-Paul's Final Message Series

    The book of 2 Timothy is Paul's last letter. In chapter 4 Paul gives what could be called his last message to Timothy. Look for the four types of disciples Paul mentions in verses 9-11.

    (Based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription) Introduction: Paul had been convicted and sentenced to death. Before this happened, though, he wrote this second letter to Timothy. In keeping with our August “back-to-school” theme, we could say that ...read more

  • Cults Series

    Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 5, 2022
     | 3,414 views

    Cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage. Unless an individual pays close attention to what a valid version of the Bible says and means, it is easy for a person to be led down the devil's primrose path.

    Cults Right now, as you read the title of this essay, you may be saying to yourself, “Well, I would never fall for that stuff.” Beware, cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage.
