    Christmas Makes For Pure Christians Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021
     | 1,879 views

    The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are cavalier about sin. My message in three words is simple: Don’t drift downstream.

    It just seems the holidays are meant for laziness. The week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is meant for sleeping in and for resting. Yet, I want to challenge your message during this “week of rest” - The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are ...read more

     | 1,814 views

    God sat us beside Christ His Son when we believe in Him.

    The body of Christ needs to acknowledge the fact that we as believer's are not on our own and because of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have been given a place of authority and the power to carry out exploits here on earth to the glory of His name.

    Effectively Waiting On The Lord Amid A Pandemic

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 24, 2021
     | 3,010 views

    Genesis chapter 18 teaches us how to effectively wait on the Lord. We all tend to struggle most when we are watching the clock and waiting for time to past. If you have ever gone on a road trip with Children, the one question asked again and again is, “Are we there yet?”

    In Genesis 17-19, we have a revealing story of an interview between God and Abraham, His friend. Abraham proved to be a true Friend of God, while Lot proved to be a friend of the world. Not only is God Abraham’s friend, God is a friend of Sinners. After years of holding on to a promise from God, ...read more

    The Branch Of Motherhood (Mother's Day 2022 Version)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 4, 2022
     | 2,422 views

    How can we relate Mother’s Day to today’s text, John 15:1 – 8? We can relate Motherhood to today’s text by thinking of Motherhood as a branch on the Vine that Jesus is talking about. John 15:1 - 8 echoes Ezekiel 19:10.

    THE BRANCH OF MOTHERHOOD Texts: Ezekiel 19:10 & John 15:1- 8 Ezekiel 19:10  Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard transplanted by the water, fruitful and full of branches from abundant water (NRSV). John 15:1-8  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. ...read more
