A Thorn In The Flesh

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

We know that God is able to heal, but sometimes we aren’t healed. This message looks at one possible reason why, as we examine an illness that the apostle Paul wrestled with for most of his Christian life - his "thorn in the flesh."

This evening we are going to look at a passage of Scripture that is related to the subject matter of healing. In the Scripture we discover that our God is a God of healing. He says in Exodus 15:26, “I am the Lord who heals you.” We also read that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, heals us as well, for ...read more

Offense Of The Cross

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

Romans 1:16 says the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. Power is something that is very invasive, and more than likely power will offend people. By design, the gospel contains a necessary offense.

In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” How many of us can actually declare, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ?” How many of us truly believe that the gospel is “the power of ...read more

Small In Stature, Not In Nature

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

This message looks at the account of a very short man named Zacchaeus. Though he was small in stature, he was by no means small in nature, for he demonstrated a character that many of us need to have in our own lives.

This morning we are going to look at the story of a very short man named Zacchaeus. Most of us have probably at least heard of Zacchaeus before because of a popular childhood song that we learned in church, either in Sunday school or Vacation Bible School. The lyrics of the song start something ...read more

Seizing The Moment Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In order to walk in victory, we must daily devote ourselves and our time to seeking the Lord and His presence. We must learn to seize every minute and every second, and make the most of it for the Lord while living in the present moment.

When we start claiming new territory for the Lord, as in leading people to faith in Christ, we will more than likely have to fight some spiritual battles; and fighting can be tiresome. Fighting can leave us weary and discouraged wishing the conflict was at an end; wanting to slow down and enjoy ...read more

A Sacrifice Should Cost

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022

Sometimes we feel that life is spinning out of control. In order to receive a spiritual breakthrough we might have to make a sacrifice, and a sacrifice must cost us something; for we can’t cheat the Lord and expect Him to bless us for it.

Our message this evening is entitled, “A Sacrifice Should Cost.” A “sacrifice” is defined as “an offering made to God . . . as an acknowledgement of His power and provision.” It’s also defined as “surrender or loss made or incurred for gaining some object, or for obliging another.”(1) Based on ...read more

"sit Down! You’re Rocking The Boat!"

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 26, 2022

The world tells us they don't want us "rocking the boat," but that's exactly what they need. The success of the Early Church was that they upset the natural order. Only if people are exposed to Jesus will they be saved. We must make that happen!

"SIT DOWN! YOU’RE ROCKING THE BOAT!" INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young man went fishing with his father and a friend in an open boat. He didn’t have his sea-legs yet. He’d get up and try to walk. He had poor balance, so the boat would see-saw violently. (The boat didn’t have good ...read more

Relatively Impossible Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Paul said he could do all things through Christ who would strengthen him. Nothing is impossible if Jesus wills it. He wanted John to come up an see heaven, and in a split second John was in heaven.

God expects us to do the impossible. He expected Luther H. Bridgers to play the role of Job and keep on singing. He was a young pastor who was away in another city for a series of meetings. The phone rang late one night and a friend had to tell him of the tragic news. Fire had swept through ...read more
