Faith In The Gospel Saves Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 5, 2024

No reason to be ashamed of the Gospel since believing in it will save our souls.

1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.” [Once more we have a textual variation. The Textus Receptus says “of Christ”, the Nestle-Aland, no. But again not a serious matter. But this explains why your KJV/NKJV have “of Christ”, and other versions you might read, do not.] Notice in ...read more

The Church Mission

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Mar 10, 2024

The church is failing in its mission to preach and teach the Gospel to every nation, people, and tongue as Jesus commanded, because we are busy preaching feel-good prosperity-based messages.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; ...read more

Making The Most Of Every Opportunity

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 25, 2024

Where did the Easter holiday come from? How do Christians and Churches navigate holidays in a way that takes advantage of what is on people's minds without creating religious holidays and traditions that are not biblically authorized?

A. One day an atheist was complaining to his Christian friend, “You Christians have your special holidays, such as Christmas and Easter and Jews celebrate their special holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur, but we atheists have no recognized special holidays. It’s just not fair!” 1. The ...read more

The Grave Robber

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 31, 2024

There was a new robber in town! I said there was a new robber in town! The grave robber! The new robber in town had taken away the Keys, to life and death from the devil, without the devil, even having a clue as to what was happening, once and for all and forevermore!

Sharing Jesus' Mission

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 2, 2024

Being involved in the mission and the ministry of Jesus should be exciting for us. We shouldn't think of it as a chore, something that burdens us.

I am sure that most of you can relate to this. You purchase something that needs to be assembled. It might be a swing set for the kids. It might be a certain piece of furniture. There are so many things now that you can get and assemble yourself in order to save money. Now I have to ask, ”When ...read more

Laughter

Contributed by Bruce Lee on Oct 26, 2022

Today we are going to talk about “Laughter.” If we define laughter, we might say it is the quick breath resulting in a series of short vowel-like sounds usually "ha-ha," "ho-ho" or "hee-hee" which we call laughter.

Laughter “Then was our mouth filled with laughter.” Psalm 126:2 “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh.” —Psalm 2:4 Intro: A elderly couple were home The wife softly said to her husband Do you remember when we used to just sit and you would hold my hand The man reached over and held her ...read more

I’ve Got A Mansion…do You?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 28, 2022

A little boy got on the elevator with his father at the Empire State Building. They were going to the observation deck at the top and view the city.

• As the elevator ascended the boy watched the signs flash as they went by the floors: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70. • The farther up they went, the more nervous the boy became. • Finally he looked up as his dad and said, “Daddy, does God know we're coming?” (Leighton Ford, "Hope for a ...read more

Knowing God As Jehovah Jireh

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

In addition to being a symbolic parallel with the crucifixion account of Christ; Genesis chapter 22 shares an example of walking in faith and obedience to God, and experiencing the Lord’s provision in our lives as a result.

I have entitled our message this morning, “Knowing God as Jehovah Jireh,” and I wish to look at our passage of Scripture in a practical way. First off, I want to say that I am well-aware of the symbolism that parallels the crucifixion account of Christ; however, there is more to this passage than ...read more

The Great Commission

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

From three of the gospel writers we find “four” accounts of the Great Commission. As we examine each account, we gain a better understanding of what Jesus requires, and what we are able to accomplish through the Lord’s power.

This morning we are going to look at four separate passages on what is known among believers as The Great Commission. The Great Commission is all about missions, since the word “commission” contains the word “mission” in it. Now, that word “commission” means, “charge, order, or mandate.”(1) This ...read more
