Living With(Out) Regret Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 24, 2022

We all have regrets, things we've done or have had done to us in the past. Paul describes two ways of dealing with these regrets- worldly and godly. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell on living without regret.

Our current series is called “What Keeps You Up At Night?” We’ve explored anger/bitterness, concern for family, and today I want to talk about regret. It’s the idea of dealing with our mistakes/sins, whether real or perceived from our past. Personally, the concept takes me back to my ...read more

How To Get Rid Of The Giants In Your Life

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

This passage of scripture has many surprises, but we want to look especially at two of them; ONE GOOD SURPRISE and ONE BAD SURPRISE.

Illus: This passage reminds me of the story of the little mother of seven children. She was leaving to go to a surprise party, and all seven of them wanted to go with her. One asked, "Mom, can we go with you?" She said, "No, it is a surprise party." One of the little ones ...read more

Real Love Part 4 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on Mar 4, 2022

Praise the Lord and we are thankful that you tuned in for part 4 and the conclusion of the message entitled Real Love. May the Lord bless you!

We have to keep ourselves in the Love of God, there is a responsibility it’s not automatic. There are those who believe that once God has saved us, automatically we will be safe. That is, we have no responsibility. Very clearly here, in this next to the last book of the Bible, the ...read more

Preached To Death

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

In this account, Eutychus attended church in order to worship God, but he wound up dying right there in the preaching service! Do you think that you could trust God, or His Son, Jesus Christ, in a situation like this? Paul did!

At my first pastorate, during the middle of a funeral service, the floor to the sanctuary gave a loud pop like lightning striking, and then it fell about six to eight inches! The floor later had to be completely replaced. At another church where I pastored, the ceiling fell in; and of course, the ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (18 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Have you ever thought about what God goes through to win a soul that is hungry for the truth?

While we may not think about it, the Scripture reveals God did some marvelous things in the lives of some Bible characters, as He sent them out to win souls to Christ. In this text we see just one example: I. THE DEDICATION Look at verses 1-3, “Now there were in the church that was at Antioch ...read more

Finding Hidden Treasure Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022

This message looks at a great treasure - the kingdom of heaven. To some people, this treasure is so valuable they will choose to risk their life in finding it. But for others, they just ignore it and let it remain undiscovered.

Have you ever dreamed of finding buried treasure? When I was a child, I did. I read books on John Swift’s lost silver mine in eastern Kentucky. I panned for gold, and bought a metal detector and waded up and down the creek on our farm. I also hunted arrowheads and Indian artifacts. Why did I ...read more

Faith Seen In Action Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

The first son who "refused" to work, eventually did. The second son who "agreed" to work, later decided not to. Those expected to do great things for God can sometimes fail; whereas, those least expected can be used in a mighty way.

Have you ever felt God asking you to do some type of ministry that you believed was beyond your capabilities, and then you became reluctant? Did you say to yourself, “I’m never going to do that?” This is the way many people respond to the Lord’s call on their life. I’ve heard it said you should ...read more

A Measure Of Faith Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

When asking God for faith, we are correct in identifying that we need faith, or that perhaps we’re experiencing some kind of spiritual problem. However, we don’t need “more” faith. What we need is the faith already allotted to us.

Our message for this evening is entitled, “A Measure of Faith,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that’s sometimes called, “Faith and Duty.” Have you ever felt inadequate in your relationship with God, or perhaps in your ability to bear spiritual fruit? Have you ever felt that you don’t ...read more

Satan’s Fourfold Purpose

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

We all have seen or attended costume parties at which everyone wore masks.

At a party like that a person can be in a room full of people they know, yet they may not know a person there. Only when the masks are removed can they know for sure who the people are. Did you know that Satan has always worn a mask? He knew from the beginning if anyone recognized him for who he ...read more

What Does The Bible Say When Prophecy Is 99% Accurate?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 19, 2021

Modern ‘Profits’ are always quick to point out they 'prophesied' a current event before it happened

I previously gave a message entitled “Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy is Wrong?” As a non-cessationist, I am saddened, but not surprised, to say that there continue to be genuine Bible academics who are making myopic and poor apologetic attempts to rationalize and justify the ...read more

I Can’t Go Back

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Dec 3, 2021

Don't return to the way things used to be, but move forward in the Lord.

Safe In The Arms Of God

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 16, 2021

God’s children are secure. They are secure because of the hills we look to; the help we look for; and the eyes we look with. God himself is our hill of protection, God himself is the help we look for and the eyes of faith are the eyes with look with.

Sermon: Safe in the Arms of God Ps 121:1 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall ...read more
