Making A Mountain Out Of A Molehill, Perspective

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 1, 2021

I had rather be an artist than an art critic. Do you have the great ability of taking molehills and making them mountains. We need an honest evaluation of our perspectives. Does the world define our thinking patterns?

Then I ask another person to look through them the proper way --- it makes things larger and ...read more

A Baby Maker Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

It has been a major issue all through history-how can we get a baby? And this has to be a major issue in the realm of the spirit as well. We need to want to have babies for Jesus as desperately as Paul. He gave his life and suffered greatly in order to have babies for Jesus.

Men are trying to have babies. Some are experimenting with the idea of surgically implanting an embryo into the male and then surgically removing the child when it is grown enough to love on its own. But there are things even more bizarre. In 1978 science writer David Rorvik wrote In His Image. ...read more

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 14

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

The story of Zacchaeus' meeting the Lord is one that we all love to hear.

It has many intriguing things about it. For example, when Jesus was going through Jericho and He met Zacchaeus there, what kind of man did He meet? 1. Zacchaeus was wealthy. We read in verse 2, "And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he ...read more

One More Year

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 24, 2021

Great New Year's message. The parable of the fruitless fig tree being given one more year to produce fruit probably parallels many Christians, who's lives are fruitless. Will we respond to God's reprieve by changing how we're living?

ONE MORE YEAR Luke 13:6-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Russian couple was walking down a Moscow street one night, when the man felt a drop hit his nose. “I think it’s raining,” he said to his wife. 2. “No, I think that would be snow,” she replied. “Look, I’m sure it was rain,” he said.

Owned

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

Not Far From The Kingdom Of God

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

Nehemiah was a true man of God, howebver he faced a lot of doubt every day. H e was surrounded by it daily and eventually it got to him. It gets to all of us.

The blood of the covenant was scarcely dry on them when the Israelites threw off their allegiance to Jehovah and asked Aaron for a new god! Aaron gave them a god who smiled on their sin. What a celebration!

Thankful For Grace And Forgiveness

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 20, 2023

There are a lot of people that live under this same heavy burden. But the good news that I share with each of these persons is the same good news that is available to everyone. Jesus came to forgive and to give grace to all who will trust in Him.

If you were here for our service last Wednesday evening, you know that we studied the same passage that I'm looking at this morning. The passage comes from the Gospel of John 8: 2-11. That passage is all about God's grace and forgiveness. This passage is an excellent example of how ...read more
