Contributed by Damon Rambo on Apr 4, 2008

Touched By An Angel, But Changed By The Lord!

Contributed by Mike Hays on Nov 16, 2000

Jesus is far superior to the angels in every way.

"Touched By An Angel, But Changed By The Lord!" Hebrews 1:4-14 There is a movement, a love fest that is sweeping our country.

Great In Mercy

Contributed by Aaron Kilbourn on Jun 24, 2008

God is slow to anger and great in mercy. Some believe that they are deserving of His love but when it comes down to it, we are far from deserving.

Psalm 145:8 – 14 reads, “The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless you. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, ...read more

Does Jesus Care

Contributed by Gerry Pratt on Mar 9, 2002

When good things happen to us, we are all too ready to praise Him for His loving care. A. Certainly this is right. 1. Nobody has to force us to recognize the hand of the Lord, in this blessing. B. Most of us are not really that quick to recognize that God loves and cares for ...read more

Victory In Jesus Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016

Far too many believers live defeated lives. The Lord is never pleased when we surrender to our difficulties and admit defeat. Granted we can't overcome within our own ability, but with the help of the Lord, we can live victoriously.

Victory in Jesus 1 John 2: 1-6 As I studied this passage, I was reminded of the relationship John enjoyed with Christ. He was part of the inner circle, one of three that were closest to Jesus. I am convinced Jesus didn’t love those three more than the others, but they were privileged to ...read more

Bid Him Come And Die Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 6, 2021

Following Jesus is an all or nothing proposal, and far too many so-called "believers" are riding the fence, playing a game, or trying to look devout when their character shows otherwise. Either follow and obey Him, or be honest in your unbelief and leave.

In today's social set-up, especially here in America, the prevailing philosophy seems to be, "I want it, and I want it NOW!" Young people are crying out for this at a pace that is bordering on the ridiculous, petty, and unrealistic. I do not see even the slightest awareness in most ...read more

One For The Road

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 16, 2025

God meets us when the journey is too long and provides grace for every step, but His grace is never permission to remain the same; it is power to move forward in joyful obedience.

The Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 10, 2002

When perilous times occur many ask why is it that God seemingly allows bad men to prosper and go unpunished. Many see God as a Super Pacifist, too loving, too gentle, too kind, too good, too meek and too mild to judge and punish the world and its inhabit

The Call: Come By Pastor John Mateos Ong

Contributed by John Ong on Nov 15, 2017

God offers us a great banquet that sometimes we doubted for being too good to be true, but we can prove to ourselves that our Lord’s offer is far more than what we thought if we only surrender to him and accept His calling.

Many of us have been blinded by unnecessary things that life itself offers. Prestigious car, jewelry, and a feast of delicious food are just some of what we believe are the best things to receive and attain in our lives. And because of these unnecessary things that we tend to value, we have ignored ...read more
