Do We Have Pigeon Religion?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 3, 2022

The Bible does NOT say, "the Spirit came on Jesus as a pigeon." Doves have 8 character differences from pigeons. Just as the dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, so "pigeon religion" is a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit. Let's seek the Dove!

DO WE HAVE PIGEON RELIGION? John 1:29-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A doctor went out and bought a brand new Ferrari GTO, that can top out at 250 mph. He took it out for a spin and stopped at a red light. 2. An old man on a moped pulled up next to him. He asked, “What kind of car ya got there, ...read more

God Delights In Bad Odds

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 20, 2022

The more unlikely the situation (if we pray), the better God likes it. God likes to show His hand, but He won’t do it unless we step out and depend on Him to come through in order for us have success. God likes the “come-from-behind” position.

GOD DELIGHTS IN BAD ODDS 1 Sam. 14:6-15,23 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BOUDREAUX DUMPING TRASH 1. Boudreaux pulled over on the side of the highway and was dumping his trash beside the road.

#7 We Believe In The Body Of Christ-The Church Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 22, 2022

As we will see, Jesus never called anyone to be a lone ranger Christian. Church membership is not an option. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

Over the past couple of months we have looked at the basics of our Christian beliefs. We considered God’s natural revelation of Himself to all. How we believe in God because our observation of the world demands it. We looked at our belief in the word of God, the Bible, through which we come to ...read more

A Great Message Of Encouragement

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 8, 2022

At the start of 2022 most of us probably feel that the future looks very uncertain. We want to hear God's message of encouragement. As the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land, God had a great message of encouragement for them.

THE SCENE I’d like you to imagine a scene. It’s about 1500 B.C. We’re in a wilderness a little to the south of the Dead Sea in what was then Moab and is now Jordan. Around us there are people, tents, and animals. The people look tough, weather-beaten. For forty years they’ve been living as ...read more

The Aspects Of Prayer Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 12, 2022

In this text, Jesus spoke of nine different aspects of prayer that we are encouraged to embrace as we pray. His focus deals with the attitude of the heart. This is not a sample, replacement prayer we are to use instead of seeking the Lord for our needs and desires.

The Aspects of Prayer Matthew 6: 9-13 We have come to one of the most recognized portions in all of Scripture. I think it would be safe to say, this passage is among the top three most quoted passages, along with Psalm 23 and John 3:16. Most of the time, it is referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. I ...read more

Praise Leads Us In

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 19, 2022

The tribe of Judah ("praise") always led the people of God into battle, etc. We look at Judah's mother to see how "praise" was conceived. Then we look at the 5 sons of Praise (Judah) and see the amazing offspring we will get when we praise God!

PRAISE LEADS US IN INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A farmer went into his banker and announced that he had bad news and good news. "First, the bad news..." 2. "Well," said the farmer, "I can’t make my mortgage payments. And that crop loan I’ve taken out for the past 10 years ...read more

What Manner Of Person Ought Ye To Be

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 20, 2022

Why did Peter say, “Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be...”

Let me show you. These words appear in Peter’s great chapter on the second coming of Christ. Peter was telling us some of the things that would occur before Christ’s second coming. -In verses 3-4 he tells us there will be scoffers. We read, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jan 27, 2022

What Paul was writing to believers through the Epistle to the Ephesians is the amazing blessings from God to the believer. Once you open your eyes to what God has done in your life and is going to do in your life, you would never think about trading it, even for a million dollars.
