How To Receive A Royal Reward Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

How do we receive this royal reward? James says the road to this reward is the road of endurance. Kings only want tried men in their army, and so how much more does the King of Kings want tried men and women to serve with Him?

Let The Fire Burn Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul recognizes that God has given man this power, and that is why he urges them not to lose it, but says quench not the Spirit. Let the fire burn he pleads. We need the heat, the light, and the power that only can be ours as we yield to the fire of the Spirit.

An embarrassing situation marked the passing of a well known fire chief. None of the family has spoken to any member of his engine company since the funeral. With the best of intentions these fire men sent what they felt was a high tribute. It was a floral arrangement with gold letters saying ...read more

No Cross… No Crown

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 5, 2023

In our text today this is a conditional promise.

Notice the condition on which this promise is made. The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE. He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short weeks, months or years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. The promise is made to those who are faithful unto ...read more

A Faith Worth Fighting For - Part One Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Apr 26, 2023

The short and often neglected letter of Jude is a challenge to believers to stand strong in the faith in the face of false teaching. A valuable lesson to Christians in all ages.
