Philippians 1:3-8 teaches us to put the fellowship of the gospel at the center of our relationships.

Scripture In January we began a series of sermons on Paul’s letter to the Philippians that I am calling, “The Christian’s Contentment.” Paul’s letter to the Philippians follows the letter-writing convention of his day.

One of the problems with growing old, is that we soon have a difficult time remembering important things.

Illus: It seems the older we get, many of us find ourselves at the bottom of the staircase trying to remember, DO I WANT TO GO UP, OR DID I JUST COME DOWN?

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 2, 2023

Dead Prophets Society

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 4, 2009

For Transfiguration Sunday: we, like the disciples, have not imagined Christ as who He is, we as who we can become, or the cost of glory ... losing our lives to save them.

Every one who teaches knows what a mighty struggle it is to teach anybody anything and make it stick. Students come to school drowsy and distracted. Some are there because they have to be; some because Daddy’s money put them there; and some just because they cannot think of anything else to do. ...read more

The Curtain In The Temple

Women In The Pulpit - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 4, 2018

Does the Bible prohibit women from being pastors and teachers in the church? Does the Bible say that women can only teach other women and children? Let's try to figure it out.

Reducing The Ark Of God To A Good Luck Charm

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 1, 2021

In the early part of the time when Samuel was a Judge of Israel the people were still far from God. In a brazen act of foolishness some men charged into the Holy of Holies and and ran off with the Ark hoping it could help them defeat the enemy. It did not.

Where Did He Go? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Job 19:25-27 “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth.
