Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Dec 20, 2024

It is the most overwhelming thing I have ever encountered in my life. It is the greatest thing God ever did for any of us! The reason I can say that is this, because He loved us, He was moved to do everything else that He has done.

Introduction: Good morning, beloved family in Christ! As we gather here in this beautiful Advent season, we are invited to reflect on the miraculous gift of love — a love that changes everything.

Time To Engage: "Going Further In”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 23, 2025

There is three times Jesus went further into the Garden of Gethsemane until He received the Father’s perspective, guidance, strength, and peace. And if we want the same, we need to go further in with Jesus. We’ll also look at the two types of Christians this story reveals.

Time to Engage “Going Further In” Matthew 26:36-46 On our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blblLUL6ioQ Today, I’d like to use this message as a transition from our last or third word in our vision, “Engage,” to the fourth word, “Elevate.” And in our next series we’ll be looking ...read more

The Body Of Christ

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022

If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

“A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

A Loving Father Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 8, 2021

Father's Day: The father should be the hero of this parable. He had been watching and waiting with love and patience. Like the father who was looking for his son to return, the Lord is waiting for us to come home to Him.

The third parable, which we are going to look at this morning, is sometimes called, “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” Commentator William Barclay says, “For centuries the third parable has been called ‘The Parable of the Prodigal Son.’ It would be ...read more

Is There Life After Death? The Empty Tomb Of Jesus Examined Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Nov 26, 2023

Can a human live beyond the grave? That is the question we consider today. Many in our world today believe after death, there is nothing, life is simply over.

“When Corrie Ten Boom of The Hiding Place was a little girl in Holland, her first realization of death came after a visit to the home of a neighbor who had died. It impressed her that some day her parents would also die. Corrie's father comforted her with words of wisdom. "Corrie, when you ...read more

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 8, 2023

"Power Shifts - Abundance" is a sermon series focused on understanding and implementing personal "power shifts" to aid in the fulfillment of the Great Commission, addressing the current stagnation in global evangelism.

China missionary, J. Hudson Taylor, has stated, “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supplies.” Most of us who live and work in the Great Commission community would utter a hearty “Amen” to that statement, yet we all see regular shortfalls.

How Is Your Spiritual Memory?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 30, 2025

Did you know our memory is a gift from God. We all like gifts but this is a wonderful gift God has given us. Just think about it, wouldn’t it be a terrible thing to live our entire life and when we die nobody remembers that we ever existed.

Memory is a GIFT FROM GOD!!! Illus: Dr. Odell Belger tells how that his youngest brother had died and he still is able to remember him and the good times they had together.
