Saved Through Persistence Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

Jesus loves us so much that He pursues us, and pleads with us to enter the kingdom and seek salvation. He knocks on the door to our heart. Jesus may knock on our heart’s door, but we need to be knocking on heaven’s gates!

This evening’s message is taken from what is commonly called “A Friend Comes at Midnight.” In this particular passage, Jesus used a parable to relate a certain message about our need to continue knocking on the door. In Revelation 3:20, Jesus declared, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If ...read more

How To Overcome Life’s Difficulties

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022

Today’s message is to help you see that God has always wanted us to be OVERCOMERS. He wants us to overcome life’s difficulties.

We all feel we have had our share of DIFFICULTIES, and some of us feel we have had more than our share. Illus: Many times we feel like the man who was married to a beautiful woman, but they had difficulties in their marriage. Nothing seemed to be going right for him. But, one day as he was ...read more

The Thessalonians # 1 (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

On of the things that hurts the Lord’s work is that sometimes people join the church who are not sincere in their relationship with the Lord.

These join for wrong reasons. For example, if you ask people what kind of church they are looking for, some answers will be: • “Well, I do not really like that church, but I probably will join the one down the street because it is convenient.” • “I am looking for a church with a good youth ...read more

What Do You See?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022

Have you ever been hit on the head and had someone take you to the emergency room and a doctor examined you?

He held up some fingers and asked you, “How many fingers do you see?” If he holds up four fingers and you see four of them, then he says you are OK. But if he holds up two and you see four of them, you have a problem. In Mark 8, this is similar to what happened. Look at verses 22-25, we read, ...read more

Women In The Bible Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Apr 9, 2022

When God created the female, she was designed to be a completer, Gen. 2:18-25. Together with her husband, they became one flesh, or a complete person.

When God created the female, she was designed to be a completer, Gen. 2:18-25. Together with her husband, they became one flesh or a complete person.

Owned

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

Easter, The Gospel Of Hope

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 19, 2022

The great question of the Resurrection is not whether it really happened - it did — and the evidence is overwhelming, so that’s not the question. Instead, the great question of the resurrection is - now what?

TITLE: EASTER, THE GOSPEL OF HOPE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 One of the great disparities between the first Easter and our Easter today is that today Easter has become that time when we as Christians at least appear to have everything together — and that’s not a bad thing - this is just part of ...read more

The Parable Of The Prodigal Son: The Son Is Resurrected Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 20, 2022

Happy Resurrection Sunday brothers and sisters, He Is Risen! Jesus Christ is alive right now. He is present in this room. He is alive in our hearts.

“Well over three hundred verses are concerned with the subject of Jesus' resurrection in the New Testament. We are told that this event is a sign for unbelievers (Matthew 12:38-40); cf. John 20:24-29) as well as the answer for the believer's doubt (Luke 24:38-43). It serves as the guarantee ...read more

Philip & The Ethiopian Eunuch

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 22, 2021

God works strategically so that all races are included. God is working to populate heaven with all kinds of color. The Holy Spirit wants us to move past the barrier of the races.

We love to tell the “before and after” stories. Weight loss - I lost 100 pounds! Before and after for dental cosmetics commercials. Rogaine – I have hair! Or look at this one: meet my wife’s first husband (show picture of younger me) -:). Acts loves to tell “before and after” stories as well. Only ...read more

God Of Salvation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 11, 2021

God wanted to spare the people of Nineveh. He didn't want them to face his judgement. But first, he had to save his servant Jonah. Being inside a big fish in the depths of the sea wasn't Jonah's real problem.

Today we’re continuing our series in Jonah. My first talk was titled ‘God of compassion’. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, was wicked. God described it as wicked and historians tell us that Assyria was wicked. It wasn’t just a little bit wicked. One historian of the Middle East wrote that ...read more
