God Wants Us To Pray To Escape From Persecution. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jul 22, 2019

Scripture says that a true believer will be persecuted in many ways. Some are mocked for their faith, some are tortured, some are put in prisons and some are killed for their faith.

Even Apostle Paul warned in 2 Timothy 3:12 that "Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. In John 15:20, Jesus also said that whoever follows Christ will be persecuted. In Luke 6:22-23 we know that Jesus mentioned 4 types of persecution that the people may ...read more

Faith Or Works? Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 12, 2018

In James 2, we see one of the most challenging passages of Scripture. However, when seen in context, James' point becomes clear and understood.

The English language can be a very challenging language to learn. Part of that is because many ordinary words that we use in everyday conversation can have many different meanings. Take the word “run,” for example, which according to dictionary.com, has over 179 different meanings for the word. ...read more

Standing Side By Side Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 6, 2018

It is a constant theme in Scripture - God calls His church to be "united". What does this mean, and how can we get it done?

The Blessings Of Baptism

Contributed by John White on Jul 11, 2019

I am sure some have shared my experience of being saved for a number of years before experiencing the blessing of being scripturally immersed.

THE BLESSINGS OF BAPTISM I Cor. 10:1-4 "Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all ...read more

Was Paul A Good Preacher?

Contributed by James Hays on Apr 21, 2020

Men tend to judge speakers according to a standard that Paul did not even desire to meet. Maybe our judgement needs a little realignment with scripture.

Was Paul A Good Preacher? Hmmm. I’ve often wondered how many churches would pass on hiring Paul for their pulpit minister. • Everyone is a TV evangelist right now. • Pick and choose what style you like, what subject matter you are interested in. • Almost like a competition on Facebook between ...read more

Reflection A.3 / Coronavirus - First Response / We Should Grieve

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 9, 2020

Scripture calls us to 'weep with those who weep’. We grieve over suffering. We should also grieve over sin.

In my first two Reflections I considered prayer. Our first response to coronavirus, as a church and as a nation, should be to pray. Another response we must make is to grieve. Paul wrote in Romans 12:15, ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep’. Some weeks ago I travelled up ...read more

One Accord

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022

As a pastor I find this verse of scripture amazing. Why? Because this verse tells us two amazing things: the New Testament church was:

• IN ONE ACCORD • IN ONE PLACE. Accomplishing either one of these would be marvelous, but to accomplish both is astounding. Illus: This couldn’t be a Baptist Church!!! Can you imagine getting everyone to attend. Illus: Occasionally, many churches have a “NO EXCUSE SUNDAY,” trying to get ...read more

Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 12, 2022

There are folks who do not care a thing about what the Bible teaches, but they do have favorite scriptures they bring up when it is convenient for them.

There are two verses that we hear about frequently. (1) 1 Timothy 5: 23 seem to be a favorite Scripture for some. Paul had written to Timothy, who had a stomach condition, and he said to him, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often ...read more

Paul’s Prayer For The Church

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 10, 2022

In this passage of scripture we are going to deal with a prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesians. This prayer is considered by some as the second most important prayer ever prayed.

Folks have some strange ideas about prayer. Some folks do not have the slightest idea of what prayer is. Illus: This reminds me of Karin Wotten of Ocala, Florida who tells about the opening exercises of their Vacation Bible School, when they asked for volunteers to pray. One morning, a first ...read more

Destroyed Without Knowledge

Knowledge is a powerful tool for us. We need to know God; His scriptures; current events; and our history to keep from being destroyed.
