Why? Why? Why? Things Look Bad?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 14, 2021

Many seem to demand to know WHY? God does not always explain what He is doing. God teaches us just to trust his plan. Joseph could not see God's plan for many years. God was there all the time.

Practice Makes Perfect (2018)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 30, 2021

Are we children of God? Or do we just claim the name with charades and dismiss the character? Isn’t that what today’s text is all about? On a daily basis, we are called to live up to the name because the way we live is supposed to illustrate who Jesus is!

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Text: I John 3:1- 7 The story is told of Alexander the Great confronting a coward: "Alexander the Great had a soldier in his army who also bore the name Alexander. But this man was a coward. Alexander the Great called him before him and said to him, "You ...read more

The Prophecy In The Upper Room, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022

The Lord Jesus gave a promise to His disciples and those who would come to Him for salvation that He would return for them (John 14:1-3). These verses are considered to be His teaching on the "Rapture". Are we correct in this interpretation? We will look at the evidence.

On the night before He was to undergo the trial of the crucifixion and the redemptive work it ensued on behalf of fallen humanity, Jesus had given the disciples the assurance that even though He would soon leave them, He also promised that He would return and "receive you to Myself, that ...read more

Who Will Roll Away The Stone? (Easter Sunrise 2015)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 6, 2022

We seem to need the evidence of the stone being rolled away before we will believe. Is our fear creating distance between who we are and who God wants us to be?

WHO WILL ROLL AWAY THE STONE? Text: Mark 16:1- 20 Did you notice who saw Jesus first? Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome were wondering who would roll the stone away. That stone can be thought of as a metaphor---a barrier between belief and unbelief. As ...read more

Called To Be A Covenant People (2017)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 23, 2022

…. one of the four Servant songs. The message seems to be about the nation of Israel at face value. However, the message can be applied to when Jesus came in the first advent. Jesus literally embodied what this text meant as a prophecy that was fulfilled through Him.
