Stretch

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Dec 31, 2022

What does stretch mean to me? It means busting loose and busting out. It means new territory. It means new opportunities. It means going beyond. It means the devil made a big mistake, he didn’t kill me when he had the chance. It means fresh fire.

I have a One word Sermon today: Stretch Our text is Philippians 3:13-14 [13] Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, ...read more

Sermon # 18 A Good Conscience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 20, 2023

How do we live with a good conscience? The life of the Apostle Paul will teach us how to do this. Read on to understand what we should hold on to and what we should let go of.

We read in Acts 23:1, “And looking intently at the council, Paul said, "Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day."(ESV) As the apostle Paul stood on trial before the council of religious leaders, he bravely testified that he had lived his life ...read more

The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 1:10-24 - Message 3 – Paul Resorts To Personal Testimony Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 3, 2023

Those engaged in ministry must not be men pleasers or compromise the gospel through fear or laziness. Preach the true gospel of grace as honest ministers. Doctrinal stability must be maintained. Paul had to restate the gospel to the Galatians using his own personal testimony.

THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 1:10-24 - MESSAGE 3 – PAUL RESORTS TO PERSONAL TESTIMONY We are going to continue our meditation in this first chapter of Galatians. Last time we looked at reason why Galatians was written, looked at the people, and looked at the importance of the purity of the ...read more

Follow Me (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

Paul loved the Philippian people, and he was greatly concerned about them. He told them, "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample."

WHY DID PAUL TELL THEM TO FOLLOW HIM? If anyone had examined the life of the apostle Paul, they would have discovered that he was following the Lord Jesus. Paul was giving them a PHYSICAL EXAMPLE or MODEL of what it is to follow Jesus. Someone very wisely said, "Don't follow any leader ...read more

Follow Me 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

In a previous sermon I preached on the importance of following the right people.

When Jesus was here on earth He stated on one occasion, "...FOLLOW ME, and I will make you fishers of men." It is interesting that the Bible not only records that He told these men to follow Him, but also it records that they were smart enough to obey. Look at Matt. 4:20, it states, ...read more

Bogus Resolutions (New Year)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022

Sometimes the question is asked, “Is it right to make New Year’s resolutions?”

Of course it is. But the reason the question is asked, is because every year many folks make BOGUS RESOLUTIONS they do not intend to keep. People make them for various reasons. They make them before the New Year, and they break them shortly after. God is not pleased with BOGUS RESOLUTIONS! But ...read more

Forgetting What Lies Behind

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 2, 2022

It hurts when we realize our own failures; but when other people point them out it can be debilitating. This message looks at how Satan tries to hinder God’s people by holding their past over them, and how Paul was able to overcome.

Have you ever been led to step out in faith and tackle a mission that God placed on your heart? Maybe the Lord asked you to witness to a friend or coworker. Perhaps He asked you to tell a relative about the love of Jesus, or maybe He asked you to surrender to the call to preach or become a ...read more

Worship As Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

The word "worship" means ascribing worth to God. In America, worship doesn’t cost us much; and so, we have basically forgotten God's real worth. But, according to the Scripture, worship involves sacrifice, which is very costly.

Tonight we are going to come to a better understanding of what it means to worship the Lord. To begin, we must understand what the word “worship” means. The word worship is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word, which is actually a combination of the two words “worth” and “ship.” The term “ship” ...read more

The Christian life is as good as it gets, with its promise of greater love, joy and peace. Those rewards, and more, are there for everyone who actively follows Christ and lives their faith in the spirit of the great adventure it was always meant to be.

Philippians 3:10-14 In the 1980’s a Californian named Larry Walters, a 33 year old truck driver, rigged 42 weather balloons to an aluminum lawn chair and then had two friends untie the tethers from the bumper of his Jeep.
