    Speak Clearly

    Contributed by J. Yeargin on Dec 1, 2006
     | 2,220 views

    Paul was not intimidated with the intellect or the prominence of the Greek people. Paul knew what the Greek people thought of him, and it didn’t slow him down for a minute. Paul spoke with confidence in what he believed and lived by.

    SPEAK CLEARLY Recently, my wife and I purchased a new cordless phone. We had trouble with hearing on the old one we had. So we bought a new one that was supposed to be state of the art. It’s the newest and the greatest. We got it home only to find that on occasions people on the other end ...read more

    When we were still sinners, He saw a people that were in a state of denial, and rejection of truth. But out of the goodness of His heart, He sent a Savior to rescue the down hearted, lost, confused, and those in slavery.

    When A Brother Weeps. Did you know that we serve a compassionate and caring Lord? When we were still sinners, He saw a people that were in a state of denial, and rejection of truth.

    Some vultures swooped down to eat the carcasses, but Abram chased them away" Notice there is ALWAYS SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WHO WILL TRY TO STOP YOU ENTERING INTO A COVENANT relationship with God, and you will have to refuse to let them.

    Part 2 - Genesis 15:6-21 - CHASING AWAY THE VULTURES Moving to Sydney from the Whitsunday's in Australia is like moving to a new country - it has a culture of it's own which is vastly different. Moving into a new ministry also has it's challenges and so I can identify with Abram as God brought him ...read more

    Contributed by Ken Pell on Jan 11, 2015
     | 4,662 views

    The reason the first century church turned the world upside down was not because of some religio-socio-economic “perfect storm” that made their message ripe for the but rather it was the fixed and unswerving centrality of Jesus Christ as their message.

    Welcome & Call to Worship Good morning. We are honored that you have chosen to worship with us today.

    The Rock And The Hard Place Part 6 Series

     | 6,801 views

    Part six focuses on how we fail in our faith at times but it does not mean that we must remain failures. When we fail and/or fall down we continue to get back up.

    The Rock And The Hard Place – Part 6 When We Fall – Get Back Up Scripture: Matthew 17:14-21; Romans 12:3 Introduction: In my message last week I told you that we have all had times when we have failed in our faith. We have all experienced situations where we “thought” we ...read more

    The Rumor Weed

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,734 views

    Rumors and gossip are things we should avoid at all cost, because the information we spread can be destructive to those individuals when shared with others. Our God is not in the business of tearing down lives, but restoring them.

    I’ve entitled our message for this morning “The Rumor Weed,” based on a Veggie Tale’s song. On one episode of Veggie Tales, Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learned just how easily rumors can get started when they accidentally launched a whopper of a tale about Larry-Boy’s butler, Alfred, being a ...read more

    The Refiner’s Fire

     | 6,008 views

    In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

    I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

    How will World Peace be realized? Opinions vary on this subject, but Zechariah 14:12-16 reveals what must happen. At his Second Coming, Christ will employ three weapons to put down rebellion and establish peace.

    Intro Our text today is from Zechariah 14:12-15. It describes the destruction of the Antichrist armies at the Battle of Armageddon. These verses fit chronologically after verse 3.i So, I want to read Zechariah 14:1-3 and then read the text. Zechariah 14 begins with this word from God to Jerusalem: ...read more

    Paul challenged spiritual principalities, he tore down strongholds, he set captives free. Hell assaulted Paul, but at the end of the day, you could hear Paul singing... I'm Still Standing.

    I'M STILL STANDING One of the things I really love about the Bible is when it gives us in depth looks into the lives and the characters of people in the Bible. One of those individuals whose character and courage capture my attention is the Apostle Paul. We ...read more

     | 2,827 views

    After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

    Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

    Knowing Jesus as the Good Shepherd gives us confidence to hear His voice because; He has laid down his life; He is committed; He knows us; and He is expanding the flock. Listen to Him.

    Message John 10:11 I Am The Good Shepherd I wonder if there were days when the shepherds in first century Judea had times when they thought … “I am sick and tired of looking after these sheep.” Sheep are not the easiest animals to look after – especially for a shepherd in Jesus day. Sheep easily ...read more

    Often, we may not perceive God's presence, but He is always there; guiding us from all directions. His unseen hand controls our lives, breaking down obstacles and building up our strength.

    Have you ever experienced a blessing that seemed to come out of nowhere? A moment when everything fell into place without any effort on your part? These unexplained events remind us that God is always at work behind the scenes, guiding and directing our lives. Even though we may not see His hand ...read more

    That Insult Must Be Over

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 27, 2025
     | 339 views

    Reproach is real, and many suffer its sting in silence—but it is not the final chapter. God is the Judge who lifts one and puts down another. When He decides to honour a man, no one can stop Him.

    "watchful Living In A World Of Wheat And Tares" By Pastor Joseph Ondu

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Oct 7, 2024
     | 945 views

    This brings us to a crucial point: “while everyone was sleeping.” The enemy sowed the tares while the people were unaware. This suggests a lack of vigilance, a spiritual sleepiness. How often do we let our guard down?

    "Watchful Living in a World of Wheat and Tares" Scripture Reading: Matthew 13:24-30 “Jesus told them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. ...read more
