    IF CHRIST IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, then a world without CHRIST IS DARKNESS.

    All of us has a default hatred in darkness!!!! We don’t like being in the dark!!!! We don’t want to be in the dark!!! We get annoyed when we are put in a dark place! No one wants to be in dark! Yet, this is the dilemma of the world! This is the dilemma of human nature. We are in darkness! With ...read more

    Looking at developing spiritual habits to help us grow to become better connected to Jesus.

    Spiritual Disciplines - Prayer May 16, 2021 I would have to say one of the more difficult things for Christians to do is pray! If you’ve been doing it for years, then you might not think much about it. But if I were to take a survey of everyone in the room and at home, and ask, if you want to ...read more

    The Unstoppable Move Of God Series

    Although Paul was bound under house arrest, the Gospel wasn't. God used Paul's situation in Rome to reach out to the Jewish leaders, the guards, and the believers in Rome and other places through his writings over the two years. God's work cannot be bound.

    LET US PRAY: May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Ps 19:14) Bless everyone that has come today, this we pray in Jesus’ Name, AMEN. We have finally come to the end of the book of Acts. • We started this series on 29 ...read more

    Let's Go To Bethlehem

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 19, 2021

    There are “Bethlehems” in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, and even Texas. In fact, I located twenty-eight towns named Bethlehem around the globe and in the United States. They have streets named Manger Avenue and Shepherd Street. But Bethlehem hasn’t always been so prominent …

    Thank you for being a part of one of three Christmas Eve services tonight. If we could travel anywhere in the world tonight to celebrate Christmas Eve, where would you want to go? Many of us might choose the house we grew up in celebrating many wonderful Christmas family celebrations. Others may ...read more

    An in-depth look at Marriage in the First Century and the dominant interpretations of the Foolish versus Wise Bridesmaids.

    “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was ...read more

    There is no such thing as an instant disciple. Look at the word for a minute in your mind, to be a disciple it takes discipline.

    If you didn’t bring a Bible with you, you’ll need one today. And we’ve provided you with one if you didn’t bring it. Turn with me to Luke 14:25-35 or page 1111 in the black books in front of you, there in your pews. If I asked you who Mary Lucy Phalen is, would you immediately recognize that name? ...read more

    Overcoming Fear Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,825 views

    More people have succumbed to fear than to deadly diseases. Fear causes weakness, therefore when the Lord said "Fear not", He also said "I will strengthen you". If we need to overcome fear and lead a healthy life, we need to learn about this from God's Word.

    Overcoming Fear We read in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Surely I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (TLV) There are two phrases in the above mentioned verse that I wish to highlight in this ...read more

    This commandment is first; it’s before all the others. When you break any other of the Ten Commandments, you’ve broken this command first.

    Brad Pitt wants you to know he has abandoned his belief in the god of the Bible. In a 2007 interview for Parade, actor Brad Pitt describes how he stumbled, over God’s ego. Pitt was raised a conservative Southern Baptist. For a while, his religion worked. But not for long. “Religion works. I know ...read more

    The Echelon Principle

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,493 views

    If the body of Christ is to function properly, we can’t just have a few members doing all the ministry by themselves, while the rest of the people watch the show. Jethro told Moses he needed to appoint others to help him.

    Our message for this evening is entitled “The Echelon Principle.” I am not going to tell you what an echelon is just yet; however, some of you might already know. I will tell you that it has something to do with playing on the same team, and striving together toward a common goal and purpose. ...read more

    In his opening, Paul directed the Corinthians' attention to WHO they are and WHAT they have received in Christ.

    Dn Michael gave us the backdrop and overview of 1 Corinthians last Sunday. • Corinth was a prosperous and bustling city because of its strategic location as a seaport situated at the crossroads of commerce and trade. • It was a melting pot of many different cultures and the city then was known for ...read more

    Having Confidence When We Are Fearful

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,815 views

    What do we do when the ugly little head of fear begins to creep into our lives? What is it that causes you fear? An example of Abram's life shows us what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

    Fear. Whether we want to admit it or not, fear is something that we have to wrestle with. The fear of standing on the ladder that's two stories high. Fear of a spider crawling on your skin. The fear of snakes. The fear of standing on a stage with the spotlight beaming on you. The fear of ...read more

    Love Without Limits (January 30, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022
     | 3,133 views

    Now if love is supposed to be the greatest, and it is, then why did Jesus’s preaching about love in Luke 4:21 -30 provoke those in the congregation so badly? It provoked them so badly, that they wanted to throw Him off a cliff!

    LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS Text: I Corinthians 13:1- 13 1 Corinthians 13:1-13  If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  (2)  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I ...read more

    Confidence During Uncertainty

     | 3,192 views

    Just like Abram, all we need to do is simply believe and trust in God. Yes, we can be confident in the times of uncertainty.

    We have been talking about having confidence during certain times in our lives--confidence when fear surrounds us, and confidence during conflicting times. Today I want to look at being confident in times of uncertainty. If anyone knows about uncertainty, it's our world today. You all know ...read more

    The Lord’s Vineyard Series

     | 6,937 views

    The vineyard is symbolic of God’s kingdom on earth, and believers are responsible for tending the vineyard until Christ returns. Those who reject the vineyard owner's Son (Jesus) will be driven out of the vineyard and have no place in it.

    This evening we are going to look at what is called the “Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers.” Our main text will be taken from Mark chapter twelve; however, before we look at Mark, let’s turn to Isaiah chapter five. In Isaiah we find a parable called the “Parable of the Vineyard,” which is ...read more

    God empowers us to STAY up before He SHOWS up so that we don’t MESS up what He is SETTING up — and it all begins when we hold on to our faith.
