Your Maker Is Your Husband Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 17, 2021

Mother's Day: This message addresses singleness, and speaks to single women and single mothers. It even speaks to widows. If you are searching for love, then look no further, because the answer is found in God and Jesus.

This morning, for our Mother’s Day message, I’m going to approach this holiday from a different angle. The normal approach is to celebrate our mothers and compliment them for their many sacrifices, which is definitely warranted; however, today, I going to share some practical help from the ...read more

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jun 11, 2022

A Sermon comparing Joseph as a type of Christ, and of this Gospel Age.

Forgiven Forgotten and Fruitful Joseph is a type of Christ: Both were the favorite son of a wealthy father: Gen. 37:3, Matt. 3:17 - were rejected and hated by their brothers; - were sold for the price of a slave: Gen. 37:28, Matt. 26:15 - their brothers conspired to kill both of them; Joseph ...read more

"church Awaken To Your Divine Purpose!"

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jul 7, 2022

The phrase "Awaken Church to Your Purpose!" is a compelling call to action that confidently urges the church—believers united—to recognize, embrace, and actively engage in its divine mission to reach out and bring hope to those who are lost.

Check The Foundation

Contributed by Sean Dees on Mar 1, 2022

Foundations are important to a structure. Without a good foundation everything you build will fall apart if it's not on a solid foundation. All we do for God needs to be on a good foundation of Faith.

I. “IF” That word alone is mentioned 1,420 times in Scripture. A. The Dictionary describes "IF" this way : in case that; granting or supposing that; on condition that: Sing if you want to. Stay indoors if it rains. I'll go if you do. even though: an enthusiastic if small audience. ...read more

7 Facts About Hell: A Guided Tour Of Hell

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 7, 2022

What is hell? I prayed about this topic, just seeking God’s guidance and indeed the Lord indicated that it would be wise to study such a place, even though such a place is best left forgotten, in the end.

God Is Omnipotent Attributes Of God (5 Of 10)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022

In the sermons dealing with the attributes of God we have talked about the fact that God is love, jealous, immutable, holy, omniscient, and omnipresent.

Today, as we continue to search the scriptures to know more about the God of the Bible, we want to focus our attention on God's omnipotence. What do we mean when we say that GOD IS OMNIPOTENT? • We mean that the God of the Bible HAS ALL POWER! • We mean that His power is not limited as ...read more

Individual Responsibility

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

This message looks at an excuse that the Israelites used for not serving the Lord. It was an excuse, which they hoped would exempt them from their own sins and their own individual responsibility; and the excuse was very shallow.

To begin our message this evening I wish to share a story. “A farmer once asked his neighbor if he might borrow a rope. ‘Sorry,’ said the neighbor. ‘I’m using my rope to tie up my milk.’ ‘Rope can’t tie up milk,’ said the farmer. ‘I know,’ replied the neighbor, ‘but when a man doesn’t want to ...read more

Coming To Terms (Romans 3:21-31) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Mar 22, 2022

The second half of Romans 3 gives us a crash course in theological vocabulary, and the most important paragraph in the Bible.

Good morning! Please turn to Romans 3. We are going to pick up where we left off last week. Last week we talked about the Grand Finale of Paul’s argument that no one is righteous before God. And I realize that it’s a hard thing for people to accept, that there’s nothing we can do to earn our ...read more

Peace With God & Peace From God

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved.

While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved. WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about ...read more

Singing In The Rain…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Introduction: I want to preach a sermon called, “Singing in the Rain.” The words “Singing In The Rain…” come from a famous song sung by Donald O’ Conner. The idea of course is that we often plan things in life and then the rain comes and spoils those plans.

Illus: Possibly: • We are going to watch a parade, but the rain comes and spoils our parade • We are going on a picnic in the park with our family, but once we spread the lunch, the rain begins and ruins our picnic If we are going to be successful in this life spiritually, THE RAIN WILL CERTAINLY ...read more

Bible Study 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Contributed by Michael Brown on Mar 25, 2022

This study was personal to me because I know what it's like to be weak. I survived a traumatic brain injury in 2006 & was in rehab for a couple years. God used that event to bring my life in accordance with His will.

The format I use for Bible studies comes from one of the study Bibles I have. That Bible has worksheets in it for you to study scripture using the H.E.A.R format. That is Highlight-Explain-Apply-Respond. Highlight is the verse to study. Explain & Apply are pretty self explanatory. Respond is ...read more

For example... 1. WE SEE ANGER IN OUR HOMES. We see much anger about significant and insignificant things. Some people have so much anger inside them there is nothing anyone could do to please them.

An Awesome Expression Of Grace - The Resurrection

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Apr 17, 2022

Death is man's greatest enemy, and it has conquered all men but Christ. Death is not, the great victor, but is a defeated enemy. Since the resurrection in fact did take place, then Christ is God, and the Christian faith is absolute truth!
