Unity Of Believers

Contributed by Warren Curry on Dec 19, 2024

Too many believers have been plagued by identity politics... Identifying oneself with a narrower description rather than what truly matters... Christian, child of God, follower of Jesus

Christians, believers, disciples, followers, children of God, brethren, the church, saints, people of God and others… • Each of these terms are used in Scripture to describe those who belong to God • But not just belong to God, but belong to God through faith in Jesus Christ • Jesus is the unifying ...read more

What We Can Learn From The Past (New Year’s Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 16, 2022

When President Bill Clinton was going through a sex scandal with Monica Lewinski, the pundits in Washington could not figure out how he could survive this scandal POLITICALLY and PHYSICALLY.

That is, almost daily he appeared on television, and it seemed like the very serious allegations that were being leveled against him were not phasing him in the slightest. • Some said it was because he is shameless • Others, pundits in Washington, had a different take on it. They said, the only ...read more

Looking For Hope In A New Year Series

Contributed by Chuck Moore on Jan 6, 2024

The New Year is often faced with anxiety and fear. Inflation, world conflicts, political unrest....the list goes on and on. So, where do we turn for real hope?

It’s normally not the Biblical story one associates with Christmas or the arrival of a New Year. But it is relevant. I’m thinking of the story that is normally associated with Easter in Luke 24. Jesus on the road to Emmaus. If you don’t remember the story, here are the highlights. Jesus has ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 4, 2022

We are living in an insane world. People hold political power and make stupid laws and mandates. A person who uses reason, logic, and common sense often feels isolated amid all the madness

Pandemic And Presidential Prophecy - Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy Is Wrong?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 23, 2020

2020 was a year full of Prophecies about the ending of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the USA Presidential election, that can be added to the proliferation of so-called prophecies over the last 30+ years that were completely wrong.

2020 was a really bad year for self-proclaimed 'Prophets' of God (or should I say 'profits'?) . There was not one 'prophet' who prophesied a legitimate warning nor predicted that a worldwide pandemic was coming. However, there were numerous 'prophets' who ...read more

Love God With All Your Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 13, 2007

Politics is a blood sport. Some go on principle and naively believe that others will see the logic and fairness of their position while other politicians spin their opponents position and prognosticate to vilify their opponent and scare the electorate that their opponent’s position will result in ...read more
