    A Thorn In The Flesh

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,205 views

    We know that God is able to heal, but sometimes we aren’t healed. This message looks at one possible reason why, as we examine an illness that the apostle Paul wrestled with for most of his Christian life - his "thorn in the flesh."

    This evening we are going to look at a passage of Scripture that is related to the subject matter of healing. In the Scripture we discover that our God is a God of healing. He says in Exodus 15:26, “I am the Lord who heals you.” We also read that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, heals us as well, for ...read more

    "See A Sign Of Your Savior’s Glory!”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Feb 21, 2022
     | 3,419 views

    Today through the Word of God before us we too will be led to see our Savior’s glory through the miracle he performed. May the Holy Spirit take us back to a wedding in Cana and to the miraculous sign that Jesus gave as a witness to his glory!

    A man and his dog were walking along a beach. After walking a good distance, they met another man walking toward them. The owner of the dog was proud of his dog’s abilities. So when the other man showed interest in his dog he had his pet show off for the stranger. He had him sit, speak, and ...read more

    In today's message we are going to deal with spiritually unhealthy things/people and ideas that will try to attach themselves to us, poison our spirit and hinder our service to God. We are going to see the way to deal with them, and that is to shake them off in the fire.

    The Gospel Message

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,839 views

    This message looks at the foundational truth at the heart of the Church; and that is, the basic salvation message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The three points of the gospel are that Jesus died, was buried, and arose the third day.

    I have entitled our sermon this morning “The Gospel Message.” I wish to speak about the foundational truth at the heart of the Church that defines who we are as Christ-followers; and that is, the basic salvation message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Humberto Medeiros said, “The Church is not ...read more

    The Refiner’s Fire

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,073 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

     | 2,033 views

    In this portion of Scripture, we have the opportunity to travel with Paul while he is at Ephesus.

    Some of the places that Paul visited would not have impressed us, but we can see from these verses that God used Paul in a great way. This is the place Paul wanted to visit on his second missionary journey, and God forbid him to come, but now, God not only allowed him to come, but God gave Paul an ...read more

    In the previous sermon in this series, we dealt with the exciting story of God healing the lame man.

    We saw that when the Lord healed him, he went into the temple, "And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful. Gate of the temple... " Anyone who knew this man, knew this was a miracle, because they knew he had been ...read more

     | 2,832 views

    I would remind you again, that Luke is writing to his good friend, Theophilus. He is reporting on the activities of Christ's apostles.

    We can probably safely assume that Peter must have made a big impression on Luke, because in chapter two he recorded Peter's first message, and in chapter three he records Peter's second message. In Acts chapter three, we see three things we want to consider, such as: I. THEIR ...read more

    Carrying A Load God Does Not Want Us To Carry

    Some time ago, a newspaper in Tacoma, Washington, carried the story of Tattoo, the basset hound. Tattoo didn't intend to go for an evening run, but when his owner shut his leash in the car door and took off with Tattoo still outside the vehicle, he had no choice.

    A motorcycle officer named Terry Filbert noticed a passing vehicle with something that appeared to be dragging behind it. As he passed the vehicle, he saw the object was a basset hound on a leash. "He was picking them up and putting them down as fast as he could," said Filbert. He ...read more

    Legend has it that Satan once had an auction. He auctioned off all the weapons he possessed except one, it was the tool of discouragement.

    He was asked why he refused to auction off the tool of discouragement. His answer we are told was simple. He said, “With this one tool I can accomplish everything I want to accomplish.” This is the most powerful weapon that Satan has, and he is a master at knowing how to use it skillfully! • ...read more

    How are we set free from sin and death? No condemnation. How and where? In Christ.

    3.27.22 Romans 8:1–4 (EHV) 1 So then, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3 Indeed, what the law was unable to do, because it was weakened by the flesh, God did, when he ...read more

    It Is Well With My Soul

     | 15,460 views

    Coronavirus has caused many to question if God is not happy with this generation or to be afraid that God won't help us in this crisis. How wonderful is Paul's revelation and the ageless hymn of Horatio Spafford, "It is Well With My Soul!" Pass it on!
