Thanksgiving, Christmas And Providence

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Nov 5, 2021

In the birth of our country and in the birth of Jesus we see the invisible, providential hand of God shaping nations and events in preparation for both; and that, more than anything else is what we need in our fractured and fragile country today.

These Are The Days Of Elijah

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 20, 2021

Jesus seems to speak about two comings of Elijah, one that lies in the future “to restore all things” and another in their immediate past concerning John the Baptist, who would call the nation to repentance. Those days are here again!

A Call To Reclaim Education

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Aug 10, 2024

Christians must step up and reclaim the education of our children. The world has indoctrinated them for far too long, and if there is to be a hope to reverse our nations course, it will take a generation of work. A large part of that work must be in the realm of education.

Short Sermon on Education IF you read our church newsletter, then you know I do a lot of thinking about education. And the reason for that is because God’s Word says a lot about education. The education of children, and the education of His people – the Church. And historically speaking - - - ...read more

He’s Still God!

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 6, 2025

GOD IS STILL GOD! Despite all the arguments of atheists, all the denials of some scientists, the opposition of governments, and the mocking of the “learned,” God is still God. He overthrows nations and sets up gov’ts who will uphold His order.

The Broken Vine: A Prayer For Revival Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 15, 2025

This psalm is a desperate prayer for national revival, using the powerful metaphor of a broken vine to teach us that true restoration comes only when we cry out for God to turn our hearts back to Himself and restore His favor.

Introduction: When the Blessing is Broken There is a special kind of pain that comes from seeing something that was once beautiful and thriving fall into ruin. We see it in a family that was once close but is now fractured by conflict. We see it in a business that was once prosperous but is now ...read more
