The Debt Of Love I Owe Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

What does the Bible say about debt? The Bible says you should never carry any more debt than you can successfully pay for. We live in such a materialistic culture it causes people to borrow money they can’t repay.

Where They Said There Is Nothing

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Sep 19, 2013

We've all been there and heard those faith destroying words sent from the devil (there is nothing) no money, no love, no hope, but God says in that very same place where you heard those words will come forth an abundance. The rain is on it's way.

You know the story: Israel is being ruled by a wicked king named Ahab, he has not only led Israel away from God into Idolatry but he has also married a witch named Jezebel.

Are You A Follower Of Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Apr 1, 2011

Pray this, take this class, give this much money. Christianity has been minimized to a one time prayer, an occasional Bible study, and a regular monetary donation. What did Jesus really invite us to? Radical discipleship. Radical commitment. He dindn

It seems more and more the Gospel message is being muddled and what it really means to be a believer is misunderstood. From the time I was young I remember hearing just ...read more

Lasting Treasures Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 27, 2022

The biggest problem we face today is that our possessions tend to give us a false sense of security as if to say if we only had enough money or enough property, or enough furniture and clothing and jewelry – and did I mention shoes? – we would have it made.

LASTING TREASURES Matthew 6:19-21 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and ...read more

Faithful Workers

Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 3, 2019

When you obey God faithfully like Isaac, besides flocks and herds (resource for making money),God would send faithful servants and workers (not few but many) who would stick with you – no matter what. A bunch of good team workers are a blessing!

Faithful workers Genesis 26:33”So he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.” What I saw in chapter 26 of Genesis are the servants of Isaac who stood with him and dug wells for Isaac despite the severe opposition that Isaac faced in Gerar, towards the end we see ...read more

A Next Generation Prayer Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 17, 2021

Notice that this prayer puts the spiritual before the physical. The Bible always places your spiritual health before your physical health. We are always doing the opposite. We nearly always talk about physical problems – money problems, marriage problems, and health problems.

What Makes The Church Run? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2020

What make a church successful? Is it lots of money? A great preacher? Great outreach programs and internal programming? Oddly enough, the early church didn't have that - and yet they turned the world upside down. What did the early church have that made the difference?

Flip Wilson was a popular black comedian several years ago, and among the routines he did were skits about a Preacher at the “What’s Happening Now Church.” One of his skits went like this: He’d shout out: "If this church is going to serve God it’s got to get down on its knees and crawl!!!” ...read more

You Are Not Alone!

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 4, 2005

No matter how much money we make, no matter how important we think we have become, in the end it will only matter whether or not we have lived our lives loving one another. If we have not we will find our lives filled with loneliness.
