    Living A Surrendered Life

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 20, 2024
     | 2,153 views

    As believers, we are to live out the transformation that has taken place on the inside. It is easy to state that one is a believer and follower of Christ; it is an entirely different matter to live in such a way that others can see evidence of the professed relationship with Christ.

    Living a Surrendered Life Ephesians 4:25-32 We have discussed much in recent weeks regarding the obligations and responsibilities of believers within the body of Christ. Paul has painted a detailed picture of how the church should look and the witness presented unto a watching world. While the ...read more

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 27, 2024
     | 1,021 views

    God has placed a hunger in our heart to hear the truth of the Gospel, it is the “missing piece” that we have – it is this truth that draws us to God, and why we too must tell others the Good News!

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2024
     | 628 views

    Living in a society where all is greed and false is not pleasant, but when this is worst among the religious class, it is especially wicked. Jeremiah faced this problem. The arrogance of today’s western world is almost unbelievable. Serious problems are addressed superficially.

    LESSONS FROM JEREMIAH – PART 23 – THE RELIGIOUS CLASSES WERE SUPERFICIAL AND ACTED CORRUPTLY – CHALLENGES – GREEDY AND FALSE PART 23 - Jeremiah 6:13-15 CHAPTER 6 [A].

    We must determine what our commitment will be financially in a time of scarcity in view of the ministry we seek to have.

    Background to passage: The Corinthian church had been corrected for disunity, pride, immorality, suing each other, their understanding of marriage, their understanding of love, their understanding of spiritual gifts, and their understanding of the resurrection. There was also a “severe letter” that ...read more

     | 1,319 views

    The message is about our walk, our responsibility as followers of Jesus to tell His story. Jesus said the seed is the Word of God (Luke 8:11). It’s the only thing that has the power to change the human heart. quotes from "Who Broke My Church" Hunter

    In Jesus Holy Name June 16, 2024 Text: Mark 4:26,30 Pentecost IV - Redeemer “The Parables About Seeds” The Seed is the Word of God… We Just Sow The message today is not about how to have peace with God not how to obtain heaven. It is ...read more

    Understanding The Rapture Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,594 views

    Study #3: This study looks at the two most prominent views on the Rapture. Ultimately, however, no one knows the exact day or the specifics of when it will occur. What matters is that we are prepared for that Day by knowing Jesus Christ.

    NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. In our last study we looked at the Seven Churches of Asia to arrive at the conclusion that we are now entering the last days. There is a succession of events that must take place during the last ...read more

    What Is Truth?

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023
     | 2,677 views

    Wow. Has our society today lost hold on absolute truth or what? I shudder to think how blurred the line between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous will be five years from now! This message attempts to bring some clarity to that all-important question; what is truth?

    What Is Truth? You and I live in a world that has almost totally rejected the existence of absolute truth. The current pervading mindset today seems to be that everyone has their own truth, and that everyone else must affirm them in whatever truth they claim to have—despite how ridiculous it may ...read more

    Saul's conversion shows us that God can reach anyone and change anyone. Ananias' acceptance of Saul is a wonderful example. And Paul's reflection on the event reminds us of just how important it is to be baptized.

    How many of you watched the memorial celebrations for President Reagan a few years ago?
