    Revelation 1: A Declaration Of Praise And Promise

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 16, 2023
     | 1,090 views

    The opening chapter of the book of Revelation shows that in what seems to be the darkest and most hopeless periods of history, the Lord Jesus Christ is still Lord and King over HIs creation, and that all things will be made new.

    If the book of Revelation had just this one chapter, it is enough for us to give praise and glory to God. He shows not just the apostle John but all of us that He is in charge of the affairs of His creation. No mere created being, whether it be mortal humanity or malevolent demon, will ever have ...read more

    The Deceptive Power Of Compromise

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Nov 10, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,430 views

    When a Christian compromises his godly values and rationalizes that the ends justify the means, he opens the door to all kinds of trouble, not only in his own life, but in the lives of many others.

    Compromise is not always bad. I heard one preacher say that he torn the word compromise out of his dictionary. I thought, “You must not be married!” However, if we compromise our godly values, we open the door for trouble in our lives. This is true because God loves us, and when we start in ...read more

    Jesus is the Gate for the Sheep. Do we allow him to give us the spiritual protection he offers, does he complete us and are we watchmen who are open to his voice?

    Sermon: I AM, Am I willing to allow Jesus to stand in the gap for me?

    How many times has God given us the right lenses to see what we need to see through His Word? Proverbs 31 is a text that can be eye-opening.

    REFLECTING HER NOBLE CHARACTER Text: Proverbs 31:10 -31 How well perceive things spiritually can help us to see how we might have missed the bigger picture. Consider this story … “A man went to his doctor in an acute state of anxiety. “Doctor, you have to help me; I’m dying,” he ...read more

    Opportunistic Infections An opportunistic infection is an infection caused by pathogens, that take advantage of certain situations. These infections usually do not cause disease in a healthy host, a compromised immune system, however, presents an "opportunity" for the pathogen to infect. Today ...read more

    As Mark's Gospel opens, we find that the stage is almost set for Jesus' ministry to begin. John the Baptist is on the scene. He was there to prepare the way so that the people would be ready to receive the King.

    Mark 1:1-8 "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way; the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make ready the way of the Lord, make His paths ...read more

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jun 1, 2024
     | 1,208 views

    For Christians today, many practical lessons of righteous behavior are found in the teachings of the Apostle Paul. Paul opened the letter to Corinth telling them he had heard of divisions among them.

    We began studying practical teachings for everyday life for Christians taught from the Apostle Paul to Corinth. Paul opened the letter to Corinth telling them he had heard of divisions among them. A correspondence had come to him with many concerns of these divisions and other behaviors for which ...read more

    Jesus moves from directing the lukewarm church to the individual. To the lost. Jesus seeks the lost, open your heart. It starts with a commitment. Unless Jesus comes into your heart you are lost.
