Pull The Weeds Out!

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Oct 26, 2023

Today, I want us to look at two accounts in the Bible. I want us to look at these two accounts in the Bible because the scripture I really want to drive home with you today will open your eyes to something you may or may not have considered before.

Today, I want us to look at two accounts in the Bible. The first one I want to look at is the story of Job. I want us to look back to when Job was struck by Satan with disaster and when his three friends heard about it, they came to offer their input on the matter. The second account is the parable ...read more

The Fullness Of Times Of The Gentiles Fulfilled

Contributed by William Akehurst on Nov 6, 2023

Scripture speaks of a the “Times of the Gentiles”. What does that mean? Especially when it speaks of those times being fulfilled. As we look around and see what is happening today with a Biblical World-View, we know that something new is on the horizon. Time is Short. MESSIAH is coming soon.

Thirsty Hearts: Finding Fulfillment At The Well

Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 4, 2023

Today, I invite you to journey with me to the ancient wells of Scripture, where we will explore the theme of thirsty hearts and the fulfillment we can find at the well. Just as physical thirst drives us to seek water, our souls also long for something to quench their thirst.

Sermon Points: The Thirst of the Soul Scripture Reference: Psalm 42:1-2 (KJV) "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?" Explanation: Our souls possess an ...read more

Instruct And Teach

Contributed by William Akehurst on Sep 11, 2023

We’re living in a different world than it was just 20 years ago. And it’s the upcoming generation of those past years that are being targeted by the enemy and being taught a life differing from scripture. We need to teach them what is RIGHT and what is TRUTH.

Spiritual Leadership: The Jethro Principle Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 12, 2022

Jethro gave Moses such helpful advice that not only did Moses apply this, he wrote it in Scripture. He must have been aware that this was a leadership principle that would help spiritual leaders in every generation that follows him. There would come different circumstances but timeless principles.

I had just finished the book summary, The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. Right away I could see the application of this book.

The Refining Fire Of God

Contributed by Rodney Fry on May 29, 2022

Have you ever heard of a “promise box”? They were once very popular among Christian people. They were little boxes containing rolled up verses of Scripture, and each verse contained a promise of God which you could select and think about during the day.

The Refining Fire of God Scripture: Malachi 4:1–3, especially verse 2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.

A Full Examination Of Gog And Magog From Ezekiel 38 & 39 – Part 1 Of 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022

The GOG-MAGOG matter has been speculated over for a long time. Some opinions are ludicrous. This two part examination brings together all revenant scriptures to show this Gog Magog war must be just before, or at the Second Coming. This is used in my bible study group.

The Boy’s Sneeze And The Mother’s Joy (October 9, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 6, 2022

A Troublesome Verse And A Glorious Future

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 29, 2023

What did Paul mean when he wrote about a "baptism for the dead" in 1 Corinthians 15:29? How should it be interpreted? What does it mean in light of further teaching on the resurrection of Christ? Let Scripture speak concerning these and other matters of the faith.

1 Corinthians is a letter dealing with what could be referred to as a "schizophrenic" church. It had become a crazy quilt of pride, drunkenness, sexual deviancy, arrogance, abuse of spiritual gifts, and personal favoritism towards teachers who had been with them, such as Paul, Peter, ...read more

Why I Don’t Drink Any Alcohol (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 6, 2023

Should a Christian drink alcohol in moderation? What is "the whole counsel of God" concerning wine and alcoholic drinks? How does a believer make a scriptural "Risk Assessment" and wise choices about drinking alcohol? This message explores those issues.

We will step into a controversial subject this morning. For some, this could mean the difference between a fruitful Christian life versus a life that ends in disappointment—a life of unfulfilled potential.

The Black Of Sin Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 6, 2025

I couldn't find a scripture that equated sin or iniquity with the color black (a color of bead used in the popular "witness bracelet"). But the Bible does talk about sin as a "deep darkness" and that description has powerful implications for Christians.

It was a dark, dark night. A man was making his way home from working late, and as he often did, he walked home through a cemetery because it was a quicker route. However, because it was so dark, he didn’t notice a new grave had been dug in his path, and he tumbled into a 7 foot deep hole in the ...read more

God Is God And I Am Not

Contributed by Dennis Cocks on Jun 16, 2003

We Cannot Be Separated From The Love Of Christ Series

Contributed by Bruce Landry on May 25, 2005

All who have truly called upon the name of Christ can never be separated from Christ, because we are seen through the suffering of Christ by God and stand in HIS righteousness alone. Let’s study our scripture today to confirm our right standing in Jesus.

"Are You A Barnabas??"

Contributed by Bob Soulliere on Oct 24, 2006

Quite often Barnabas is seen as just a side-kick or an assistant of Paul’s. But that’s an unfair picture of this Christian man who truly followed the example of Jesus Christ. I’d like you to dig into the Scriptures with me and see what we can learn about
