The Paradox Of Money Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

It is hard to say anything about money, either negative or positive, that cannot be demonstrated to be a valid statement.

He led the armies of the North to victory in the Civil War, and was twice elected president of the United States. He ...read more

The Sermon On The Mount (Part 16) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 13, 2020

For many people, their priority in life is material prosperity. When you hear the phrase, 'well off' or, 'well to do', it refers to someone who is wealthy. As we'll see today, those who have stored up treasures in heaven will truly be, 'well off' and 'well-to-do'.

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part 16) Matt. 6:19-24 Suze Orman in her book, “9 Steps to Financial Freedom” writes, "When I was 13, my dad owned his own business—a tiny shack where he sold chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fries.

A Blessing To Tithe

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

Many of us are afraid to tithe, because we feel that we have too many financial obligations to spare anything. But, did you know that the Bible teaches that both our financial troubles and our daily trials will lessen or cease if we tithe?

[and] today a dollar saved is a quarter earned . . . [and] the economy is [just] terrible [right now]. ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

A preacher told of going through his father's effects after his dad died, and among the things he found was his father's 7th grade report card.

Back in the Fall of 1941 this 7th grade report card showed the grading scale on the back of it. There was A, B, C, D, F, and something he'd never seen before: the letter G! Who would have thought there was a grade you could get that was below F. But back then there was. ''F'' of ...read more

Honoring The Ultimate Father Series

Friend, there’s more than one kind of profanity. Not all profanity takes place at the construction site or a bar. A lot of profanity takes place inside the church house. I want to tell you what kind of profanity it is.

A Baptism By Fire

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 28, 2023

Fire is a fierce, frightening force and we do not usually associate it with Jesus. However, this message shows how Jesus came bringing what John the Baptist calls an “unquenchable fire,” referring to God's judgement.
