Introduction: My wife and I were nervous about our mission trip to Globe, AZ. It wasn’t the trip itself. It was because this would be the first time we had left our children in the care of another person for such an extended length of time.

The Book Of Mark # 56

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

In September of 2005 John Roberts went before the Senate Judiciary Committee to be examined to see if he was qualified to serve on the Supreme Court as the Chief Justice.

Many liked the comparison he made with being a judge to being an umpire in a baseball game. He stated that he felt that as a judge, he is not a player of the game, but it is his job to call the FOULS and STRIKES! All the evidence indicates that he will make a good chief justice. But that can not ...read more

Words are powerful tools of influence. All of us can speak words and so all of us have the power to encourage or discourage others. The life of Victor Sirebianca is a radical illustration of the power of words. His teacher said to him, "You are a dummy. You will never graduate. You will ...read more

Kingdoms In Conflict (Christ The King Sunday 2021)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 19, 2021

Our text today, poses the question “How can God’s kingdom come on earth in the midst of conflict?” If Jesus is the King of all kings, and He is, then why does it appear that His never ending kingdom is in danger?

KINGDOMS IN CONFLICT Text: John 18: 33- 37 John 18:33-37  Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"  (34)  Jesus answered, "Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?" ...read more

I Keep Him So He Can Keep Me

Contributed by Charles Jones on Dec 25, 2021

When the times get hard (and they do get hard), I know it’s just temporary. It’s like when the rain comes, it can rain a lot or it can rain for days, but sooner or later the rain will stop and the sun will shine again.

I Keep Him So He Can Keep Me" He is ever present with me; at all times He goes before me. I will not live in fear or abandon my calling because He stands at my right hand. The Voice Bible Psalms 16:8 How many of you know that life is full of ups and downs, one day theres, joy and ...read more

The Church Does Not Enter The Tribulation – Reasons That Prove It – Part 1 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 12, 2023

Does the penalty need to be paid twice? We begin to look at the fact that the Church does not enter the Tribulation; look at the facts and evidence that it does not happen. We have been delivered from wrath that is coming.

THE CHURCH DOES NOT ENTER THE TRIBULATION – REASONS THAT PROVE IT – PART 1 OF 3 INTRODUCTION I find it reprehensible, the claim that the Church, and Christians of course, will enter the Tribulation.

The Promise Of Jesus In Simeon

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 30, 2023

Simeon is an old man who is described as “righteous and devout.” What fascinates me about him is his expectancy to see the Christ based entirely on the promise given to him by the Holy Spirit.

Ladies, Are You Doing Porn?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 13, 2017

Men are not the only the ones prone to porn. Adult sites are not the only place to find it. The results are destructive.

If I were at a woman’s conference and I asked the question, “Ladies, are you doing Porn?” I would probably receive an eardrum shattering no. The truth is there would most likely be more women in that group guilty of it than they imagine and some may be married to more than one man and not know ...read more

The Journey Of Faith

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

Faith’s journey moves through surrender and grace — where Jesus meets us at the wall, restores our love, and sends us forward.

There’s something quietly deceptive about the word arrival. We love the sound of it — the sense that the journey’s over, the destination reached, the work done. “I’ve arrived,” we say. The culture trains us to think in terms of achievements and milestones, success stories and finish lines. But ...read more

Lessons From Emmaus Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 14, 2001

Lessons we can incorporate into our lives from what Jesus taught the men on the road to Emmaus when they were confused and dismayed.

THERE ARE TIMES IN OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES WHEN THERE WILL BE CONFUSION, AND THE WAY OUT OF IT IS NOT SIMPLY TO SAY THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF RIGHT AND WRONG, BUT A MATTER OF GOD TAKING US THROUGH A WAY THAT WE TEMPORARILY DO NOT UNDERSTAND. JUST BECAUSE WE DON’T ...read more

What Was In The Cup?

Contributed by C Matthews on Aug 15, 2001

What did Jesus really see in the cup of his Father’s will while praying at Gethsemane?

What Was In The Cup? Several years ago I had an uncle that was in the hospital preparing for open heart surgery. I went into his hospital room early on the morning of surgery and we talked a little about the surgery and I asked him if he was scared. He responded quickly with, "No!" He told me ...read more
