The Second Body Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Everything made by man is doomed. Only the God-made body, and the God-redeemed world can be the focus of the Christian hope. That is why Paul groaned and longed to be clothed with the heavenly body God had for him.

Most of us could tell true stories of our forgetfulness that allowed us to put a book, a casserole, or some other object on the top of our car, and then get in and drive off. Some of these stories will have sadder endings than others, but it is not likely any of our stories could match that of ...read more

One of the intriguing things about people is the differences among them.

If You Really Love Jesus . . . Series

Contributed by James Wallace on May 19, 2022

If you really love Jesus, then what? How will you show it? Do you show it? Jesus had specific answers for us in John 21.

Well, finally, some of you must be thinking, we come to the end of the Gospel of John. And I must say, personally, along with others who have thoroughly studied this book, that it is very likely the most profound book I have ever preached through. And that’s because it’s all about the most ...read more

Why Does God Allow Evil And Suffering?

Did God Create Humans Male And Female - And Non-Binary Or Trans-Gender?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 26, 2021

The subjective ever-changing cultural mores continue to creep into the church to replace the Bible as the final and absolute authority in the life of the Born-Again Christian.

The mother of a high school student told me that a few kids in the youth group said they were non-binary (also known as ENBY or NB) and were questioning the Bible about its two sexual gender emphasis. That disturbed me deep in my spirit which led to this message. I started ministry decades ...read more

How To Faith The Storms Of Life Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 24, 2018

I love the fact that Jesus was asleep during the storm on the Galilee. First, Jesus was a man who experienced fatigue just like us. Second, He possessed such a strong sense of tranquility that He could sleep through the storm.

INTRODUCTION That’s not a typo. We all face storms, but do you have the ability to faith the storms of life? Faith is more than a noun; it’s also a verb. I think one of the hardest jobs would be a weather forecaster. There was a Native American chief on a remote reservation in South Dakota whose ...read more

INTRODUCTION When I was a pastor in Alabama, we lived next to a cemetery. Most days I would jog through there; the residents never complained. I enjoyed reading the tombstones.

Imagine: No Hell Below Us; Above Us Only Sky Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018

Two-thirds of Americans believe there is no hell. Let's imagine for a moment there is no hell. Lest you take me literally, I DO believe in the existence of heaven and hell. But what would you do if you wanted to eliminate the distasteful idea of hell?

INTRODUCTION There are many theories about the afterlife. Some people believe in reincarnation. Three men died and stood before God, who asked them how they wanted to spend their next life on earth. The first man said, “I want to come back as myself, but I want to be 10 times smarter.” “Poof,” God ...read more

The Man Who Only Had Two Things: Everything & Nothing Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018

When Kingdoms Collide: God Or Government? Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018

INTRODUCTION In our country we have hundreds of courts where thousands of lawyers are asking questions of witnesses. Most of them are pretty sharp characters. But in every one of these courts, there is a court reporter taking down everything being said. Because of that we have a record of some ...read more

Failure Isn't Fatal Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 29, 2018

When it comes to failure and sin in your life, you have two options. You can try to hide it, or you can admit it.
