Fear, Death, Life

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 26, 2010

It may seem strange to embrace death. But John could do so as he learned of fellow believers being killed, because he had a vision of the risen Christ as lord of life and death and even as lord of all human history.

Contributed by Doug Fannon on May 27, 2018

Memorial Day Message: On Memorial Day we remember those who gave their lives for us, for our freedoms, for the values we hold today? Do we know what our freedoms are and the values on which our country is founded? Do we remember or did they die in vain

Love's Response To Hate Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

Thank God for the cross and the record we have of it, for not only is our salvation dependent upon it, but the reality of all Jesus taught is dependent upon what we see and hear at the cross.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 27, 2021

The Shortest Sermon Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The success of Jonah is hard to believe. Skeptical scholars just flatly deny it. The facts are amazing. Jonah was preaching a message he didn't want to, and so his heart really was not in it. He really hoped it would be a flop even though he obeyed the letter of God's command.

As we all know, the Bible is very brief on its account, considering all the centuries that it covers. It was not designed to tell us everything and to give an exhaustive and detailed record of God's working. It was designed to give us basic truths, principles, and examples of their operation ...read more

These Are The Days Of Elijah

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 20, 2021

Contributed by Dwight Jones on Apr 14, 2015

His name means "accident of God" but in this message we find out that God can turn things around and turn what was once an accident into an intentional blessing.
