Week Three Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Mar 15, 2021

Self examination is not intended as a form of self punishment, but a redirection of our love to God for what He did for us through the cross. It’s meant as a guidepost to living like “little Christs” in this world so we can be a blessing to those who may never consider His saving grace.

“Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter.

Affirmations - Sermon V: Belief In The Divine Conception Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Oct 19, 2019

To affirm our Savior's divine conception is to accept God the Father's criterion of a perfect atoning sacrifice which could be provided by no mere human being - only by God's Son who was sent (came) for that redemptive purpose.

No Hill For A Stepper

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 15, 2020

Problems are always upon us and getting over the little humps is easy. Getting over the larger ones simply means you grow to be bigger than that hill… so-as to just step right over it, rather than struggle to climb it.

This writing is to help us see this passage from His ...read more

The Things People Say About Jesus Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 4, 2021

Wherever Jesus went, He caused a riot or a revival. The work and words of the Lord Jesus Christ have affected lives, changed the course of history, made us face our mortality and grow up in terms of character, morals, thought, and living. For countless millions of souls who have trusted in Him ...read more
