Why I Quit Tithing

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 23, 2019

Because God owns it all, the question should not be, "How much should I give?" But rather the question should be, "How much should I keep?"

Most people simply don’t understand tithing. To many Christians, it seems like some sort of country club due. Another bill in the long list of monthly expenses. I hear questions like: “How Much Are You Supposed to Tithe?” “Do I tithe on my gross income or net income?” “My pay my tithe on my pay ...read more

Lessons From Hell

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 25, 2025

The "Rich Man" has gone to Hell. While there, he is in conversation with Abraham about being in torment. This conversation teaches us three important lessons about being ready for eternity.

HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO TAKE SIDES! WE CAN SOMETIMES FIND HUMOR IN SUCH ENDEAVORS LIKE DEBATING WHETHER IT IS PRONOUNCED “POTATOE” OR “PATATTA,” “CARRIBIAN” OR “CARRA-BEAN” OR EVEN “NEVADA” OR “NUH-VADA.” WE ALWAYS DESIRE TO BE RIGHT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CHOOSE THE RIGHT ...read more

God Is Great And Good! Series

Contributed by Larry Vollink on Nov 24, 2020

Looking at our God at this time of season (Thanksgiving Day) we are in awe of God being great and being good. Reading the scriptures gives meaning for God's greatness and His Goodness."

Probably one of the first prayers we learned after “Now I lay me down to sleep” was “God is great! God is good! Let us thank Him for our food!” We may have even learned the longer version which included: “By His hand we all are fed, give us Lord our daily bread.” From this brief prayer, from our ...read more

Be Present Among The Lost Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Some believers insist on keeping a safe distance from the lost, afraid of being contaminated by their behavior or being seen as guilty by association; and so they fail to share their faith with the ones who actually need their help.

It is my desire to preach on real issues that we deal with as believers, so here’s a real observation to start off with: Some believers act like once they have received God’s forgiveness and been saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ that they’re somehow better than the lost. However, ...read more

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

Being blessed is not about having a perfect life or material possessions. It’s about understanding our origin and purpose. It's about being seen by God and having our stories rewritten by Him.

Well, today we're gonna talk about what it really means to be blessed. Let's start with a little object lesson. I want you to think about a loaf of bread. It's pretty ...read more

At The Poverty Line Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

Being financially secure, being well educated, having the respect and admiration of your neighbors, none of those get you credit in God’s kingdom. We’re all charity cases there.

Are you happy? If not, what would it take to make you happy? For most people, happiness seems to have something to do with our circumstances. In our youth-obsessed culture, perhaps we feel we have to look backward to imagine happiness. “What is happiness?” and “How can I get happiness?” are two ...read more

Learning To Be Content

Contributed by Chris Surber on Sep 28, 2007

The love of money never satisfied a soul. The best it ever did was to entertain for a little while. The love of God fills us with love for others. The love of God brings with it real, abiding, lasting, and enduring joy.

Called By God

Contributed by Michael Deutsch on Aug 8, 2020

God has called us, but who are we called to be? We look at that question this week.

Called by God Ephesians 4:1 August 9, 2020 For the past weeks I’ve been talking about the fact that you have been called by God. I think we would all agree with that.
