As Sheep Among Wolves

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 27, 2025

Jesus gives His followers advice on how to respond, and even reply, in the face of persecution. He also assures them that they will be guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit to accomplish their mission.

I have entitled our message today, “As Sheep Among Wolves.” The title is based on the very first verse of our passage, where Jesus told His followers, “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves” (v. 16). Now, I am going to go ahead and start with an exposition. The word sheep ...read more

Jonah Or Philip?

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 7, 2024

Are you Jonah or Philip? Today I’d like us to examine 2 people in the bible, one from OT and one from NT. Our key passages are found in: Jonah 1:3 and Acts 8:30. Ideally, we will all see a little bit of both of these men in ourselves. Stand with me as we honor God while reading His word. Let’s ...read more

Wrong Way-Right Way

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 2, 2024

The bible tells us that if man tries to choose the way to get to heaven, it may end up being the wrong way.

Today I have a very simple lesson. It may be simple to most of us, but to someone who has never heard the message of salvation, it may not be that simple. I want to talk about the wrong way and the right way today. Read Proverbs 14:12. So the bible tells us that if man tries to choose the way ...read more

Time To Get Back To Work

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 2, 2023

It appears like everybody needs something from us, family members, friends, bosses at work, the schools that we may attend, our churches, clubs, etc. We wind up racing through life, taking care of the necessary, the immediate, and the urgent.

Repeatedly the important is abandoned. Our problem is not the volume of requests or lack of organizational skills, but values - what is really important to us. Our values and our priorities are reflected in how we use our assets/resources. Frequently our activities give a false representation of ...read more
