Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023

Anxiety and concern afflict us and cause worry. God does not want that for us. Peter speaks of casting our cares on the Lord, also the Psalms, and the Lord on earth spoke on the same matter in the Sermon on the Mount. Humbling ourselves under the MIGHTY hand of God is a necessity.

Finding True Blessedness (Part 1) Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 24, 2023

This message covers the first six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 1).” The words of Jesus seen in our passage today are called “The Beatitudes,” and this does not mean “beautiful attitudes,” even though this phrase might have catchy ring. “The Beatitudes are blessed sayings.”(1) “The ...read more

Call Him - Mark 10:49 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2024

Do you need more motivation to share your faith beyond just feeling compassion for the lost? This brief message will help.

The New Heaven And The New Earth

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 15, 2024
