    Israel: The Next Generation

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 1, 2025
     | 314 views

    Every generation crosses a river into a new land, taking with them lessons from their ancestors. Your ancestors may not have given you what you needed to travel the desert in safety, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late.

    Should respect and courtesy be taught in elementary, middle, and high school classes along with writing and arithmetic? At the end of the last century ten states mandated that character education be included in the school curriculum and legislation; the issue was pending in many more states. A ...read more

    Are You Choking?

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 12, 2013
     | 8,172 views

    Too often, Christians can become so busy in their lives that they choke the word of God out of it. Too many of us are the thorny soil at times. This sermon helps us remember what our priorities should be.

    Often as Christians, we need to take a step back from our busy lives to examine where we are as Christians. We need to ask ourselves many questions: Have I been growing? Is that growth visible to others? Am I more holy this month or year than I was last year? These are all important questions we ...read more

    John the Baptist was on a mission from God. We have a mission too - to testify to the Light.

    12.17.23 John 1:6–8 (EHV) 6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as an eyewitness to testify about the light so that everyone would believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.

    Easter - It Is Wrong

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Apr 18, 2009
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,676 views

    The news of Jesus death was wrong or at least incomplete. The news of our death can be wrong too.

    It is Wrong Well here we are. Easter, the day we celebrate the main proof point of the Christian faith. The day when we dress up a little more, attendance is a little higher, when we often make a special effort to make it to a worship service. I had a little bit of dilemma. Most of you know ...read more

    The Insignificant In Christmas

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jan 10, 2016
     | 4,755 views

    God uses the most insignificant things to make the most difference. It's true at Christmas, too!

    The Christmas story is a great story, and it rivals anything Hollywood ever came up with. There’s conflict, anticipation, a villain (or several villains, depending upon how one looks at the story), political intrigue (especially as Herod attempts to deceive the magi), there’s ...read more

    Life Is A Battlefield

    Contributed by Danny Anderson on Oct 27, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,786 views

    Too many Christians believe it’s easier to pay off the bully than learn how to defeat him. Too many don’t even realize we are living on a battlefield not a playground!

    Life is a Battlefield Text: Ephesians 6:10-14 Introduction: A man wrote: "There used to be this bully who would demand my lunch money every day. Since I was smaller, I would give it to him. Then I decided to fight back. I started taking karate lessons, but the instructor wanted $5 a lesson. That ...read more

    Doing The Impossible

    Contributed by Horace Wimpey on Sep 4, 2015
     | 12,795 views

    When Sarah laughs and scoffs at the Lord when He promises her a son, she is asked, is there anything too hard for God. As Christians, we must also realize that there is nothing too hard for God.

    Doing The Impossible Genesis 18: 1-15 (NLT) Intro:How many of you like magic? I guess ‘m a kid at heart when it comes to magic. I’m not a big fan of America”s Got Talent but it seems that every time I surf through that channel, (that’s what I do, I surf. We have to buy me ...read more

    What The Bible Teaches About Hell

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 1,384 views

    The last event in the life of SAINTS, as far as being connected to earth, is after the millennium they go to their eternal home in the glorious place the Bible calls heaven.

    But in this message we are going to study the last thing that will happen to SINNERS, as they will spend eternity in the horrendous place the Bible calls hell! In this day of liberalism, when a preacher preaches about hell he is immediately branded in a negative way as being one of those ...read more

    We have access to resources far more powerful than the internet. Yet, we choose instead to trust our wisdom and our ability.

    Technology can be an amazing instrument when we need help. I needed to install a new cabin filter in my car and I wanted to make sure I did it correctly. So, I searched YouTube and it gave me step by step instructions of how to do it. Through the internet, we have pretty much a direct line to ...read more

    Aliens From Another World

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 24, 2020

     | 6,370 views

    We need to view ourselves as “Aliens,” and not make ourselves too comfortable as citizens of this world.

    TITLE: ALIENS FROM ANOTHER WORLD SCRIPTURE: PSALM 69:8 / EPHESIANS 2:12 / I PETER 1:1-2 When I was growing up in the 70's, it seemed like the most popular tv shows and movies involved aliens and UFO’S -- I grew up watching Star Trek - Lost In Space -- and it was as if most shows on TV, ...read more

    Just An Ordinary Man

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Aug 23, 2024
     | 841 views

    Have you ever desired for God to work through you, yet felt you were simply too "ordinary"? Dr. Vorce delves into the lives of many who appeared ordinary but were chosen by God. He inspires us, highlighting how God frequently empowers ordinary individuals to achieve extraordinary feats.

    Judges 13:24-25 (NIV): "The woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson. He grew and the Lord blessed him, and the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him while he was in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol."

    If your heart beats like the Father’s, you’ll love lost people too.

    A several summers ago Laura and I witnessed every parent’s nightmare. As we soaked up the sun at Myrtle Beach, enjoying our annual vacation, watching Drake and Anna Gray, who were then still young enough to enjoy just playing in the sand, we noticed a man acting rather strangely.

    It’s easy to be thankful in good times, but we need to be thankful in the tough times, too.

    Thanksgiving in the Tough Times Cornwall October 16, 2005 Where do you see yourself being with God? In what kind of environment do you believe it is that God views you? Because some times of our lives are not as delightful as others, it’s important for us to have a clear view of a certain ...read more
