    "i Will Be Diligent: Part 2" Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2020
     | 3,585 views

    The man of God is to not follow trends, fads, feelings, what people would like to hear, or preach messages that make them feel "good", but instead preach the Gospel without compromise or apology and to stay committed no matter what happens.

    The previous message based on 2 Timothy began with the definition of diligence. It means being constant in your efforts, finish what you started, stay committed to the task and not quit or become distracted. Preparation and thought are a part of this process. Never start anything without going ...read more

    Missing The Hour Of Our Visitation With God

    Contributed by James May on Apr 10, 2022
     | 5,174 views

    A sermon preached on Palm Sunday. Israel missed the hour of her Visitation with God as they rejected Christ. Let us not miss our times of visitations but be prepared for his coming, both in our hearts, at the rapture and at his Second Coming as the King of Glory!

    Today being Palm Sunday, we always reflect upon what it really means. 1,989 years ago, a young Rabbi named Yeshua sat on the summit of a mountain looking down over the city of Jerusalem and lamented deeply in his heart for the condition of the people that he had come to try and save from the ...read more

    How Do We Overcome Temptation? (Luke, Part 3) Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 7, 2022
     | 1,706 views

    None of us is immune to being tempted … but we all can overcome by following the same model that Jesus provided for us. When you resist him, you are choosing the things of God; you are choosing to turn away from the quick pleasure fix (of sin) and seeking His way to guide your life.

    Introduction / Recap - We know that Luke was a physician – helped Paul throughout his ministry -- He was most likely a Gentile from Antioch (Syria) addressing a Gentile audience - Examining the language of the text indicates that he was well educated -- Familiar with Greek; well versed in ...read more

    Are you ready to be a Stephen or a Demas?

    Hebrews 11:35b ... others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the ...read more

    This sermon will give you the opportunity to decide which place you will spend your eternal life...heaven or hell.

    “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But ...read more

    The Testimony Of John The Baptist

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 21, 2021
     | 1,762 views

    John the Baptist is presented in the prologue of John's gospel as the prophesied forerunner to the arrival of God's Messiah. He prepared the people of Israel for the Messiah by preaching repentance and obedience. Repentance was needed then, and in these last days as well.

    So far in John's prologue to his magnificent account of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, we were introduced to the person and ministry of John the Baptist, described as "a man sent from God" (1:6) and who was to "bear witness of the Light" (1:7-8). He bore ...read more

    A Voice Of Coming Series

     | 2,697 views

    Though humanity continues to pass away, there is hope for something eternal. That hope is the Word of God which not only will be fulfilled but will stand forever.

    ISAIAH 40: 3-5. [ADVENT I SERIES PART II] A VOICE OF COMING [Matthew 3:1-3, John 1:19–23] Like other prophets, Isaiah was given visions (1:1), but he also received words. In our text an unidentified voice or voices calls out with Good News (v.3). This Good News must be announced, and a herald ...read more

    The Day Of The Lord

    Contributed by Richard L. Brown on Oct 24, 2021
     | 3,048 views

    This sermon is about the end of time, The Day of the Lord. It looks at Eschatology from the point of a changing world and church and supplies scriptural evidence of the fair warning we are given. No preacher can ignore God’s call to prepare his flock for The Day of the Lord.

    The Day of the Lord Joel 2:24-32 Joel 2:27-32New American Standard Bible (NASB) 27 “Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame. The Promise of the Spirit 28 “[a]It will come ...read more

    If God puts unexpected obstacles in your path to ministry, how should you handle it?

    When I graduated from seminary, I had no idea when or where I would be called into ministry. Many of my classmates were luckier. They knew where they were going. They had received a call. I, on the other hand, would not even be eligible to receive a call for at least one year, perhaps two or more. ...read more

    Thou Shalt Be Dumb (Advent Sermon 3 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 6, 2022
     | 1,336 views

    Zechariah and Elizabeth were a devout couple who did not have any children. We see in today’s text a lack of faith---unbelief. Then, one day the angel Gabriel showed up and told him that God was going answer His prayers and that Elizabeth would give birth to a son who was to be named John.

    THOU SHALT BE DUMB Text: Luke 1:5- 25 Luke 1:5-25 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. (6) And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the ...read more

    Truth – Holiness And The End Times

    Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Jan 13, 2024
     | 1,337 views

    In these last day's we must examine ourselves frequently to make sure when Jesus comes back we are ready to go. Having a knowledge of all the END TIME events will not save us. It's how we serve the Lord that will assure our entrance into heaven.

    Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more

    We have exactly the same weapons against temptation that Jesus used against Satan in the wilderness.

    How many of you remember your first day at school, or your first day at a new job? You usually get some kind of orientation, don’t you.

    What Are We To Do When The Brook Dries Up?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 27, 2023
     | 1,572 views

    How many Christians have hit a "dry patch" during their ministry or walk with the Lord, and often we could not understand the reasoning why this has happened?

    We could have called the title to this message “When in Drought, Do Not Doubt.” In the previous chapter, we learn that Ahab is now king of Israel. Unfortunately, he was worse than all the other kings before him. Each king prior to Ahab became worse than the one before. Ahab married Jezebel who led ...read more

    Although tomorrow, Nov 11, is officially Veteran’s Day, we’re honoring our veterans who have or are serving in our Armed Forces, today. Nov 11 was originally celebrated as Armistice Day, marking the day the temporary cessation of hostilities of WWI, between the Allied nations and Germany, went ...read more
