Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 1, 2014

Christians today can’t get side-tracked thinking about the finish line, because the race is NOT finished for us yet! We must faithfully endure life and continue to tell people about Jesus UNTIL we are face to face with Him!

Stewardship In My Life

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Feb 25, 2016

This sermon is about the importance of honoring God with our money, and the blessings that come when we put the Lord first in our finances.

A Bibilical Deacon

Contributed by Dwight Kennedy on Feb 22, 2018

I want us to look at what the BIBLE gives as qualifications of a deacon. Also, the question sometimes comes up, "Do we really need deacons now?" I believe that stems from a misunderstanding of what a deacon should actually be.

The church has many positions that are filled with Godly men and Godly woman, but the Bible only teaches of two offices: 1) Bishop, Elder, Overseer, or Pastor, and 2) Deacon. Churches today are filled with men who may hold the TITLE of deacon, but their lives disqualify them from actually being a ...read more

Bearing Up

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014

The sufferings of Jesus were unique in that He suffered once for all, the just for the unjust. But we are still sometimes called to bear up and endure grief, suffering unjustly. Our model was laid down in the patient pattern of His sufferings.

BEARING UP. 1 Peter 2:19-25. The Apostle Peter uses his address to domestic servants (1 Peter 2:18) to illustrate the calling of all Christians to share in the sufferings of Christ. “For this is grace,” he quite literally says (1 Peter 2:19): this is acceptable; this is thankworthy - if out of ...read more

The Strength Of Sex And The Silence Conspiracy Series

Contributed by Olu-Timi Lewis Afolabi on Jan 5, 2014

THERE IS THE NEED FOR CHRISTIANS AND NON-CHRISTIANS TO KNOW THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE IMPACT OF SEX ON PEOPLE'S DESTINY. PEOPLE TAKE SEX FOR GRANTED AND ARE PAYING DEARLY FOR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THEIR INDISCRETION.

THE STRENGTH OF SEX AND THE SILENCE CONSPIRACY The energy of sex is so strong that its intensity is said to be matchless by any emotions ever known to mankind. It is a phenomenon that is greater and more pervasive than alcoholism, drug, food, football and gambling addiction combined. If not so ...read more

Adversity Can Lead To Success

Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 18, 2016

Joseph understood that he was not the author of his success. He worked hard and obeyed the Lord. God did the rest. God’s presence with Joseph was linked to his commitment to God. Similarly, God’s presence with us is linked to our commitment to Him.

Have you ever heard the saying that “hell has no fury like a woman scorned?” Well, we have a perfect example of this in the reading we heard from Genesis 39:1-23 a few minutes ago. Even though Joseph was a slave in Egypt, he showed great faith and righteousness, and even though he was ...read more
