Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 26, 2011

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 20, 2017

Say this, “Preparation is the key.” An admirer of a famous person said, “So how did you become so successful?” The famous person replied, “About 40 years of training and staying committed.” ( Faithfulness and fruitfulness are synonymous.)

The Antidote For Depression

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 6, 2021

There has been an ever-increasing rise of personal individualism that has led to multiple dysfunctional and destructive trends resulting in people either willingly or unwillingly distancing themselves from others and struggling to make meaningful personal connections.

"Then God said, "Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.

Praise And Worship As It Pertains To Leadership

Contributed by Charles Jones on Apr 14, 2020

Praise and Worship As It Pertains To Leadership We must follow God's ordained plan and pattern for spiritual leadership in the church if we expect God's anointing to come upon the praise and worship service. PASTOR AND OTHER MINISTERING ELDERS The pastor and the elders of the church ...read more

Tenacity #4 Commitment Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 12, 2020

When a person is tenacious they are “all in” because they are on a quest. Personally, I have been on a number of quests and struggled at times with being too tenacious. It has had a lot to do with my unwillingness to fail when on mission.

Over the past month, we discussed the development of the quality of Tenacity. Next week we will begin a new series entitled, Scared Straight - Supernatural Stories in the Bible To review, we have learned the definition of be Tenacity. The definition of the word is: the quality or fact of being ...read more

If The Date Of Salvation Is Already Fixed By God, Then Why Should I Pray Ha

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 15, 2018

The idea, ‘God is anyway going to save the person only in His time’, takes the onus away from intense praying, wrestling in prayer for the unsaved person, intense fasting and also thereby takes away the guilt of prayerlessness.

If the date of salvation is already fixed by God, then why should I pray hard? Genesis 18:32 Then he said, "Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it on account of the ten." 19:24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom ...read more

The Baptism Of John Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 21, 2021

Re-baptism is a practice of some Baptist churches. This message looks at re-baptism in the New Testament, and discusses how when a person’s baptism is done under the wrong belief system, then the individual needs to be re-baptized.

I have entitled our message this morning, “The Baptism of John.” We have recently been learning about baptism, and today, I am going to be discussing false baptisms; and the best way to present this message is by looking at what the New Testament refers to as “the baptism of John.” This was a ...read more
