Are You Choking?

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 12, 2013

Too often, Christians can become so busy in their lives that they choke the word of God out of it. Too many of us are the thorny soil at times. This sermon helps us remember what our priorities should be.

Is that growth visible to others? Am I more holy this month or year than I was last year? These are all important questions we ...read more

Your World - Own It! Series

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on May 10, 2020

The garden was given to man as a ‘rectangle of control’; a world in which were rules, guidelines, and established systems. Man was placed there to ‘dress it’ and care for it. Man was given full and direct charge over that garden and EVERYTHING in it.

To own something is to acknowledge it as belonging to one’s self; recognized as having full claim, authority, power, dominion… even to have or hold as one’s own; to possess. Now… how one came about the ownership does not change the ownership, itself. Don’t let the two intertwine, for now. The ...read more

The Last Days

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 24, 2020

Only someone who is completely out of touch with reality would dispute the fact that we are living in the last days. The question is... What is the church going to look like in the last days? What can we expect to see through the church?

The Holy Spirit witnesses to us concerning the last days, and he tells us what to expect. He tells us the attitude and the spirit that will prevail in the hearts of the wicked.
