She Called Him Ichabod!!! (Mother’s Day Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022

This is a special day set aside to honor our mothers, and grandmothers, because we love them so deeply.

Often a mother’s assignment in life is very difficult. Now if anything negative can be said about mothers, it would be about the names they give their children. I personally think they should pass a law that allows a child that reaches the age of 10 or 12, to have a chance to select the name that ...read more

The Lowly King Of Kings Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

When people came looking for the Messiah they expected to see “a reed shaken in the wind,” or a wealthy and mighty king. Instead of finding a wealthy king, they found the Christ who was meek and humble; born in a place of low esteem.

Our message for today is a reflection on the lowly and humble estate of our King of Kings. To begin this morning, turn in your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 9, and we will look at verses 1-2, and 6-7. What I am about to read are the words of the prophet Isaiah concerning the entrance of our Savior ...read more

John-Son Of Thunder Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

When John wrote his Gospel the other three were already written and well known. They are so negative on John that he probably thought there was little he could add, so he ignores himself all together in his own Gospel.

A farmer in Georgia was sitting on the porch of his tumble-down shack. He was ragged and barefoot when a stranger stopped for a drink of water. Wishing to be agreeable, the stranger said, "How was your cotton coming on?" "Ain't got none," replied the farmer. ...read more

Zechariah's Vision Of The High Priest, Joshua

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Oct 15, 2021

Whenever we meet people for the first time, we get an impression of them. It is said that it takes less than 1/10th of a second to form an assessment of someone’s face. However, how accurate are our first impressions?

The name ‘Zechariah’ was the most common name in the Hebrew Bible. In Hebrew, it means “The Lord has remembered’. There are 8 visions of Zechariah recording in ...read more

David Builds An Altar Where Abraham Offered Up Isaac: The Future Site Of Solomon's Temple Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Nov 13, 2023

David builds an altar at the exact same place that hundreds of years earlier, Abraham came, and built an altar there as well when he was told to do so by God.

Here we find the last chapter of 2nd Samuel, the very last overview of the life of David and all that was done in the name of the Lord. King David had done so many great things, from defeating Goliath, to conquering enemy nations, to building up the nation economically and militarily. He had made ...read more
