Victory In Jesus Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Mar 4, 2018

Jude warns us from false teachings, but in the final two verses of this little letter, Jude gives a doxology that states our security in Jesus.

Something I seldom do and that is switch to another translation of the Bible. This morning I will be using the English Standard Version rather than the New King James Version for our text of Jude 24-25 because of the differences between the different versions based on different Greek manuscripts. ...read more

Was Paul A Good Preacher?

Contributed by James Hays on Apr 21, 2020

Men tend to judge speakers according to a standard that Paul did not even desire to meet. Maybe our judgement needs a little realignment with scripture.

Was Paul A Good Preacher? Hmmm. I’ve often wondered how many churches would pass on hiring Paul for their pulpit minister. • Everyone is a TV evangelist right now. • Pick and choose what style you like, what subject matter you are interested in. • Almost like a competition on Facebook between ...read more

On Tithing And Tipping

Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 5, 2019

Too often we give to God the least instead of the best. We give what costs us little instead of making sacrifices for Him.

1. The story is told of a very wealthy man who, on the occasion of his daughter’s marriage, sent a check for $5,000 to the bridegroom as a wedding present. He sent it by the hand of the bride’s sister and when she returned, the man eagerly asked: “What did your new brother-in-law say when you gave ...read more

"By This Shall All Men Know…”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 27, 2021

Almost everyone loves to watch cowboy movies. Illus: They advertise the Western Channel on television by saying, “There is a little bit of cowboy in all of us!”

One of the things we see in most cowboy movies is the sheriff. And we know that he is the sheriff because he has a badge to identify himself as the sheriff. But the sheriff is not the only one who wears a badge that identifies him. God’s Word says that there are some things that should identify ...read more

Two Facts The Bible Teaches About Faith

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 4, 2022

Faith is probably preached about more than any subject of the Bible, yet it seems to be something that most Christians know very little about.

This may explain why many Christians are not growing in the Lord, and why their lives are void when it comes to the blessings of God. We cannot read about a single individual in the Bible, and not see how his/her faith affected him/her in a positive way, or how the lack of faith affected him/her ...read more

Church Conflicts

Contributed by Abiodun Adeniyi on Apr 22, 2025

There are divisions in the Church today as there were in the early Church and there is little or nothing that we can do to completely eliminate it but it might be managed to remove rancour and bitterness.

Church Conflicts. TEXT: 1 Cor. 1:10-13. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared ...read more

The Man Of Integrity - Mark 12:12-14 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 18, 2024

Jesus' enemies were astonished at how little Jesus feared men. And Mark shows us how this is the key to many elements of godliness.

After highlighting how the authorities feared man three times, Mark now makes a point of how Jesus was the opposite. Against the dark backdrop of their sin (which results in hypocrisy, dishonesty, cowardice, and favoritism), Mark shows us Jesus in stark relief. He uses the very words of their ...read more

Sticks, Stones And Words

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 4, 2017

As children, we're taught the rhyme "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me". This messages shows us that this is really a lie from the throne room of Satan.

We’re going to begin in John 8:44. “Ye are of your father the devil...” When Jesus says “ye are of your father the devil” what’s telling the people is you have the same nature as your father, which is the sin nature. He not saying this because they are arguing with him. It’s not like he’s ...read more
