    The Vanishing Father

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jun 12, 2025
     | 250 views

    There was a time—not so long ago—when the word “father” evoked strength, stability, and sacrificial love. When a man’s presence brought comfort, not confusion… direction, not detachment… blessing, not brokenness. But somewhere along the line, the father began to vanish.

    THE VANISHING FATHER SCRIPTURE Malachi 4:6 “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” PROLOGUE TO THE SERIES: “The Vanishing Father” Four Reflections Toward the Restoration of Godly ...read more

    Chapter 16 Canaanites Are Defeated [Judges 4:12–24] Scripture 12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor. 13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of ...read more

    Shows how we who are called to follow Christ can and should treat this world as temporary. A lot of illustrations in this sermon.

    “Looking for a City…” Hebrews 11:8-10 Hebrews 11:8 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. God called Abraham to leave his home, to leave everything he knew, ...read more

    Paul’s past and teachings raised eyebrows and brought persecution, but Paul continued to live his life for the glory of God.

    “Validation of the Transformation!” Galatians 1:11-24 This past week I have been studying our Scripture for this morning found in Galatians 1:11-24. You can sum up Paul’s intent with one simple sentence: Paul was defending the fact that he had received his message of salvation by grace through ...read more

     | 5,172 views

    Proof that the rapture will occur!

    There has been much disagreement over the rapture and when it will occur or even if it will occur. I think that it is high time that this was clarified by the Word of God. The Bible gives many details associated with Christ’s coming which have given rise to different interpretations. While there ...read more

     | 18,573 views

    When Jesus used the phrase "under my wings" it was a reference to an ancient custom thats still practiced today in some parts of the world. Its the idea of coming under the covering of someone or some thing for protection and provision.

    Living In The Presence of God I. Psalm 36:5-7, "Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. 6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O ...read more

     | 6,675 views

    We’ve convinced ourselves that “God helps those who help themselves.” Many people believe that’s even in the Bible. It’s not. In fact, I can’t think of anything more unbiblical.

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) What an awesome healing story in today’s Gospel! I’m not referring to the cure; I’m referring to the ...read more
