Shadow Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 31, 2020

The shadow of God is much more safer than the reality of this world. The world struggles against an unseen virus because it fails to put its trust in the unseen God.

Shadow of the Almighty We read in Psalm 91:1, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (WEB) As we continue this study on Psalm 91, we will explore the word ‘shadow’ as mentioned in Psalm 91:1. Those who live in hot places will understand the ...read more

Should We Celebrate Christmas? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 17, 2011

We are responsible to maintain our focus on Him Whom we call "Lord." At no time has this become more critical than during the Christmas Season.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and ...read more

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 22, 2022

Witnessing To The Hurting Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 21, 2012

How do you do "church"? Is it about going to a building and singing songs, praying prayers and listening to a sermon... or is there something more to it than that?

OPEN: Years ago at summer camp I learned this little song. If you know it sing along with me: Peter and John went to pray. They met a lame man on the way. He held out his palm and asked for an alm, and this is what Peter did say: "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee. In ...read more

How To Get Out Of Babylon

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 29, 2010

Babylon is more than a ancient land mentioned in the Bible. Babylon is anywhere we as believers don't belong. It is being held captive by the devil.

INTRODUCTION: The sentiment of the Israelites during this difficult time in their history is summed up there in the fourth verse. "How shall we sing the Lord's song in this strange land?" In other words, we really don't belong here in Babylon. We are aliens here. We are refugees here. We are ...read more

"Another Beast..." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jun 7, 2005

There’s a lot more to ridin’ a horse than just sittin’ in the saddle and lettin’ your feet hang down. If truth be known there’s more to what happens after the trumpet sounds than many are willing to admit, let’s examine it together!

Introduction In our last message entitled, "That they all might be damned..." from II Thessalonians 2:1-12 we began this series concerning: After The Trumpet Sounds; we examined the facts that surround the Biblical truths concerning Christ’s Second Coming.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 17, 2006

Do you feel insignificant in your service to God? You may be more powerful than you thought. Or do you feel pretty secure? You may be more in need and weak than you thought. Take some advice from Philadelphia and Laodicea.

Even as the Philadelphian church doesn’t receive even one rebuke - the church at Laodicea receives not one commendation - the contrast couldn’t be more stark - and that’s not the only contrast we’ll see as we compare these two churches. -The church at Philadelphia was small in appearance but ...read more

Faith In Action

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Sep 18, 2007

Power Of Simplicity Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 19, 2012

Trust Above Your Circumstances

Contributed by Mark Haines on Apr 22, 2011

Our faith tends to rise and fall based on our circumstances. The more pain we feel the more doubt we express. But Jesus, even as he died on the cross, rose about his feelings of abandonment and entrusted his spirit into the Father’s care.

Introduction: I saw an article recently entitled, “God’s Friday.” That makes far more sense to me than “Good Friday.” There is nothing good about what happened to Jesus in and around Jerusalem about 2000 years ago. 1. Jesus’ Circumstances • Satan and his ...read more

The Danger Of Unconfessed Sin

Contributed by Sebastian D'souza on Jun 13, 2017

We learn from King David's fall with Bathesheba that covering up sin can do more damage than the sin that we are trying to cover up. The best thing is that we come clean. allowing our past to do more damage to our future.

We first moved into the house we live in 17 years ago. There is a huge pine tree outside which drops sap and pine needles everywhere. I still remember when it was about 10 feet tall. Lately I was thinking, if only I cut it down when it was still small. Now, it's a job that requires professional ...read more
