    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 27, 2022
     | 1,581 views

    We live in an age of materialism! It seems we can’t get enough of what this world has to offer. Because of people’s love for things, we have two problems.

    (1) We have people who are up to their eyeballs in debt because they are constantly buying things they can’t afford. Illus: A businessman is in a great deal of trouble financially because he kept buying things when he should not have. He even considered suicide, but he decided before he would do ...read more

    As Paul wraps up this letter, he reminds the believers in Rome of what it means to take the gospel to the nations.

    Good morning. Please open your Bibles to Romans, chapter 15. I know we are jumping way ahead, and I don’t want you to think I’m giving up on Romans. I also don’t want you to think I am chickening out on dealing with the next part of Romans 1, where Paul deals with the issue of homosexuality. I ...read more

    How Do We Face Trouble In This World?

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 22, 2022
     | 2,535 views

    We live in a world that is full of concerns and worries. And all the more so with a weakened economy, a weakened military and a question of leadership. These concerns put pressure on us.

    Alba 5-4-14 8-21-2022 (Revised) HOW DO WE FACE TROUBLE IN THIS WORLD? John 16:32-33 How many of you have a pressure pot? Pressure cooking has been around for a long time.

    Consider Your Ways

     | 3,312 views

    I would like us to focus in on verse 7. We read, "Thus saith the lord of hosts; CONSIDER YOUR WAYS."

    The prophet Haggai had a message from God that he was to give unto the people of God. Notice, he wanted them to know how important this message was by introducing the message by saying, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts…” before he gave the message. In other words, he wanted them to know what he was ...read more

    Illus: A teacher said to her students, "Boys and girls, there is a wonderful example in the life of the ant. Every day the ant goes to work and works hard all day. And at the close of the day, what happens?" Little Johnny said, "SOMEONE STEPS ON HIM." Many folks can’t ...read more

    What was it that made David a man after God's heart? In 1 Samuel 16, we learn that David had a humble, hard-working, halleluiah-filled heart!

    David's selection as king in 1 Samuel 16:1-13 shows us how God selected a king for his people.

    Scripture Today we begin a sermon series on “The Life of David.” John Butler writes, “David was a man of many hats. He was a king, a warrior and a shepherd as most realize; but he also wore other hats….He was a son…a shepherd…a singer…a servant…a soldier…a sufferer…a seer…a supplicant…a scholar…a ...read more

    Can A Person Know Jesus Intimately?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,788 views

    I believe that the essential issue in the church today is the need to grow in intimacy with Jesus, the Creator God of all things.

    God desires to have a personal, intimate, loving, dynamic, and powerful relationship with every person on the planet. WHAT IS INTIMACY? To develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, we need to define what that looks like. Some have said that intimacy means "in-to-me-see" and begins ...read more

    Thirsty souls, looking for something more in life, are all around us. And we have the water they seek? Here's how we can make a difference for them and for eternity!

    One of the questions I ask, and even ask now, as I near the end of my life, is “So what? So what? In other words, what difference did my life make, for good or for ill? I suspect I’m not alone in asking these questions. I think one of our greatest needs in life is for meaning, for significance, ...read more

    Soldiers Of Christ

     | 20,026 views

    One of the most challenging metaphors of the Christian life is presented in this simple passage. Here, as in his letter to the Ephesians, Paul compares Christian life to a soldier called to wage spiritual warfare. (Eph. 6:10-18)

    Soldiers Of Christ II Tim. 2:1-15 The Word of God compares the Christian life to many things. Christians are to be fishermen of men; witnessing and winning souls in the waters of the world in which they live. (Matt. 4:19, Acts 1:8) Christians are also called to be dutiful and diligent farmers; ...read more

    Message demonstrates the proliferation of warnings in Scripture and addresses the value of such warnings. It is tempting to avoid giving warnings. However, people can benefit from them when given in the right spirit.

    We are in a study of Philippians and our text today is found in chapter 3, verses 1-7. Follow with me as we read from the New International Version. “Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord!

     | 3,773 views

    When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

    If and when we begin sharing our faith and as we begin gaining spiritual territory for the Lord, then our church will grow as more and more people are added. This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more
