    God challenges His people to be authentically devoted to Him.

    I voted to close the church; not intentionally, not maliciously perhaps, but carelessly, thoughtlessly, lazily, indifferently, I voted. I voted to close its doors that its witness and its testimony might be stopped. I voted to close the open Bible on its pulpit . . . The Bible that had been given ...read more

    Polluted Sacrifices

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 28, 2012

     | 8,900 views

    God accused the Israelite priests of sinning in two ways... treating the sacrifice with contempt and teaching the people to do the same. We, as a Priesthood of Believers, have the same job as the priests and perhaps are guilty of the same failures.

    Christians have been taught that the tithe is a "spiritual bill" they must pay in order to keep the "windows of heaven" open. Is it possible that this passage is being used to teach something that it does not teach?

    As a child, before my brothers and sisters and I would sit down for breakfast, we asked our father what we could do to please him so that he would let us eat. He’d tell us. If we wanted lunch money for school we would ask our father what would please him. He’d tell us. At supper time, as we sat ...read more

    Does not the King of King deserve our very best? This sermon is going to review Malachi's indictment of the priests of Israel for offering lame and sick animals and conclude we are to give God our best and be blessed or worst and be cursed.

    A theme in the bible dating back to the third generation when "people began calling on the name of the Lord." It is vitally important to recognize the importance of the Lord's name--it is "hallowed." By calling on it we are saved.

     | 13,842 views

    Have you truly sacrificed the totality of your own life on God’s altar, committing to Him everything you have and everything you are... or are you giving Him your crumbs, your leftovers, hoping that it pleases Him?

    Please turn in your Bibles to the book of Malachi, which is the last book in the Old Testament. If you find Matthew and then go back a few pages, you’ll be in Malachi. After God reveals His Word through the prophet Malachi, He is then silent for roughly 400 years until the events described in the ...read more

    Friend, there’s more than one kind of profanity. Not all profanity takes place at the construction site or a bar. A lot of profanity takes place inside the church house. I want to tell you what kind of profanity it is.

    Happy Father’s Day to you all. You have to have some “dad jokes on Father's Day,” right? When does a joke become a “dad joke”? When it becomes apparent.
