     | 2,904 views

    We all have questions, don’t we? Some questions are inconsequential. Other questions are more meaningful and thought provoking. Today, we'll explore the question "Is Jesus God's Son?" in light of the miracles, prophecies, and resurrection of Jesus.

    Real Answers to Big Questions: Is Jesus God’s Son? Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/5/2015 Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Why is a boxing ring square?

    Discouragement is part of life. Discouragement comes most often when you do right things but experience poor results. You work hard, but you don't make progress. You have expectations and goals and they don’t come to pass. You seek change and yet nothing changes.

    “Out of the Depths I cried” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. When we think of Depth we think of the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something. It is used to specify the distance below the top or surface of something to which someone or something percolates or at which ...read more

     | 2,010 views

    In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.

    When he wrote to the Philippian church, he was in prison. In prison he knew that he faced a capital crime and that he might be executed. If you were in prison and you thought that you might die, what kind of letter would you write? We do not have to guess at what kind of letter the Apostle Paul ...read more

    Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

    Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing.

    Chapters 6 and 7, told us how God used the great deacon, Stephen, and how he gave his life for the gospel.

    Now we are going to study about how that affected the church. When some people who belong to church die, it does not have much of an impact on God's work, because they did not love the Lord, or His church. But when a man like Stephen dies, it leaves a vacuum for some time. Look at verse ...read more
