    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 17, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,668 views

    Jesus honored God by always serving others and loving the kingdom of God. All of us will face tremendous pressure from within and without. Our greatest challenge will be responding in such a way that God is glorified.

    Recently I watched a documentary called "The Fake Famous." It highlighted three average “Joes” who manipulate social media by purchasing followers, manipulating algorithms and other technics designed to fool people into believing they were famous and trend setters. Since ministry has gone ...read more

     | 7,966 views

    Elusive as a will 'o the wisp, contentment is the heritage of God's people. Paul provides practical instruction for believers to find contentment in their service to Christ.

    “I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,386 views

    The opposition Jesus faced continued as He sought to reveal Himself as the Christ. Sadly they failed to see Him for who He really was. Many today deny and oppose the Gospel, but we must remain committed to share!

    Hated for Healing Mark 3: 1-6 Our text today, once again finds Jesus in the synagogue on the Sabbath. While there He performed a great miracle. Unfortunately, this marvelous act of grace is overshadowed by the suspicion and animosity of the Pharisees. Our studies in chapter two revealed the ...read more

    Why Am I Not Hated?

     | 3,099 views

    Mark 13:13 says "You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one that endures to the end, he will be saved."

    Why Am I Not Hated – Mark 13:13 As I was reading through this past couple of weeks, I found the book of Mark to be speaking directly to me. Last week we spoke about being politically correct, and I know that I didn’t use scripture from Mark, but I believe one of the verses that sparked ...read more

    Where do we turn when the world stands against us? Here are some thoughts that come from the early church response to opposition.

    There’s an old spiritual song- It’s Me Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer- and that’s how our drama concludes. We began with Peter and John healing the crippled man at the Beautiful Gate and continued as Peter and John stood on trial. Today, we’re going to look at how ...read more

    Just Be Quiet Series

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Apr 29, 2024
     | 913 views

    The topic that today’s text deals with is demons. It is not a topic we like to talk about, but we need to hear because they are real. We need to know they exist and how to deal with them.

    JUST BE QUIET Text: Acts 16:16-24 Introduction 1. One of the things that I love about preaching through a book of the Bible chapter by chapter, paragraph by paragraph, and verse by verse is that it forces me to preach about topics that are difficult to talk about. But they are topics that the ...read more
