    Think you know the definition of faith? Have you looked it up? The Apostles needing something, but was it faith in Christ? They were right there with him! Their faith (as we traditionally think of it) was replaced by sight. So what were they asking?

    Increase our Faith October 6, 2013 A young boy walked into a neighborhood church for the first time. He sat down and looked around at all the posters, announcements and pictures along the walls. When he came to a group of photographs of men in uniform, he asked a nearby usher, “Who are ...read more

    It is with great delight that I welcome you to our month of discipleship. No doubt Jesus ministered to multitudes but he always spends more time with his disciples for obvious reasons. Jesus wants us to be his disciples and as his disciples he wants us to disciple the nations.

    Beware Of False Prophets

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

     | 4,955 views

    There are many false prophets in the world today, and there are many false and crooked preachers. This passage provides some insight on how to identify those who are sharing false revelations and teaching false doctrine.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Beware of False Prophets.” I watch a lot of Christian programming on YouTube; and YouTube, through its algorithms, tries to tailor a watch list that lines up with my own preferences. But instead of getting sound Christian programming, the algorithm keeps ...read more

    The Manner In Which We Are To Pray

     | 1,444 views

    Many times we will select a small passage of scripture from the Bible for our devotional reading each day.

    However, just picking a verse or two can be very dangerous. That is, we may not receive all the blessings from the scripture we may select. We must read more to discover the context of the passage. For example, one passage that is often taken out of context is what is commonly called the Lord’s ...read more

     | 1,239 views

    We want to look again at 2 Thess., especially chapter one.

    The first thing we see is that the apostle Paul loved this church. This should be an obvious trait of all of God’s children--that they love God and they love His church. Illus: Show me a person who professes to be saved and love God, and yet all week they constantly attack God’s church and I will ...read more
