He Could Have Saved Himself!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Dec 19, 2000

Their conclusion was this: "He saved others, but He can’t save himself!" That was their conclusion, a logical conclusion, but a false conclusion.

God Never Forgets His People

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 16, 2020

If there was ever time that the body of Christ needed to be encouraged, it is now. This message was delivered in a little over an hour and looked at four passages from Isaiah. A short series could be developed focusing on each of the passages.

Turn with me to James 1:2. “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” And we know the word “temptation” means “test.” And we know the test we are to count as joy is when Satan tries to get us to give up, to give in or to get out when it relates to God and His Word. Now, ...read more

Expectations – General And Specific – Great And Small Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 16, 2022

Pip the orphan boy relates his story that is based around what expectations wait for him, surprises, incorrect assumptions, tragedy and a lot more. Well as ...read more

Zechariah: Christ Is Coming Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023

What if this morning while we were sitting around the table in the fellowship hall drinking coffee and eating donuts, Mark Thomas emphatically told us that the Indianapolis Colts is going to WIN ...read more
