    The Candle Of Humanity – How Good Is Good? Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,171 views

    Laws laid down by God for right and wrong determine the destiny of the human race, and of individuals. Only when man comes to the Light, and he is revealed for what he is in the true light of God, then he can understand who he truly is in the sight of God.

    THE CANDLE OF HUMANITY – HOW GOOD IS GOOD? There is the light of a candle in every person relating to goodness. That light connects with the knowledge of good and evil. The good a person has, is measured against the standard of man for what is good and evil. That is why the world can say, “He ...read more

    Doubting Thomas

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 11, 2022

     | 9,287 views

    Thomas helps us to understand what Jesus was teaching His disciples during His post resurrection appearances. Those who loved him on the earth had to learn to live without the physical appearance of Christ - the actual seeing, touching, and hearing him.

    Doubting Thomas John 20:24-31 "Doubting Thomas." refers to one of the disciples of Jesus who is often associated with one word: doubting. He is seen as a natural pessimist, a man very liable to take the despondent hopeless view of the future and see the darker side of everything. . ...read more

    The Armor Of God: Salvation

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 7, 2023
     | 1,691 views

    Construction workers wear helmets on the job. Firefighters wear helmets. Soldiers in combat wear helmets. The purpose for the helmet is understandable. It is there to protect a very important part of the body, the head. We who are Christians also have helmets that we can and should wear.

    Alba 7-30-2023 THE ARMOR OF GOD: SALVATION Ephesians 6:17 When I was about 11 years old, I was returning home from visiting my friend. His name was Guy, but we all called him Pepper. He lived up the hill west from my home and a half a block south. It was sometime in the winter because there was ...read more

    Perfect peace is a gift from God to those who trust in Him and fix their thoughts on Him. In a world filled with chaos, may we be known as people of unwavering trust and minds fixed on the One who offers us the peace that surpasses all understanding

    Perfect Peace: Trusting in the Lord Introduction: Begin with a warm welcome to the congregation and introduce the key verse: Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) - "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!"

    If you grew up in Pentecostal circles as I did, chances are you heard , used or are still using the phrase “I plead the blood.” However, some people in the church world today don’t understand the phrase and ask, “What does it mean?”

    "worry (Part 1): Why The Bible Tells Us Not To Worry" Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Aug 16, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,664 views

    Worry is the uneasy feeling we often experience in times of fear, trouble, or problems. But, not all worry is bad. There is a positive, wise kind of worry and a negative, wrong, and destructive worry. This sermon helps us understand both of them and the impacts of negative worry.

    Today we will continue our sermon series on "The Bible and Emotional Problems." The topic that we will learn is worry. "I have a mountain of credit card debt," one man told another. "I have lost my job. My car is being repossessed and our house is in foreclosure, but I am ...read more

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Sep 14, 2021
     | 2,965 views

    We hear the word "repent" or "repentance" many times through scripture. But what does it really mean? Translated from the Hebrew word Teshuvah, we can dig deeper by understanding the root meaning of this Hebrew word.

    2021.09.14 REPENT/REPENTANCE Defined. Thoughts during the Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah, the Days of Awe, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.

    Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (Ix) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 1, 2021
     | 4,548 views

    Matthew's prediction of the Abomination of Desolation is compared to Luke's account of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Rightly diving this portion of the Olivet Discourse is crucial to understanding end-time prophecy. The focus of this message is Matthew 24:15-31.

    Last week we examined the first part of Jesus’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14. In that portion of the prophecy Jesus told us the conditions that would exist during this current age: deception, wars, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, etc. In verse 8 He uses the metaphor of labor pains ...read more

    Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (X) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 7, 2021
     | 4,357 views

    Is the gathering in Matthew 24:31 the rapture? Are those "taken" in Matthew 24:40-41 raptured? Message examines dominant views on Matthew 24:31-44 seeking understanding of end time events as predicted by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse.

    We are studying the Olivet Discourse, looking for insight on the question: Will Christians go through the tribulation period? Matthew 24 provides a chronological outline of events from the first advent to the second advent. It is therefore an essential part of eschatological revelation. Our ...read more

    The Marks Of A Generation That Knows Not God

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Mar 8, 2021
     | 25,631 views

    We must understand that the Old Testament is not written just to fill up space in the Bible but is written to instruct and inform us of what to do and not do. Romans 15:4 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning.”

    The Marks of a Generations that knows not God. By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - A few years ago I had an incident happen that saddened my heart but also made me think just where we as a people are going and how each generation is failing the next generation.

    My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 14, 2021
     | 5,822 views

    While we may understand the words Jesus spoke in this statement, we lack the ability to comprehend the enormity of His words and the actual context in which He spoke them. He was forsaken so we could escape being eternally condemned and forsaken.

    My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Mark 15:33-36 We have spent the last three weeks considering the sayings of Christ upon the cross. Up until this point we have witnessed the awesome grace and mercy of our Lord as He prayed for forgiveness, promised salvation, and made provision for ...read more

    The Stubborn Missionary

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 2,503 views

    More than Jonah could ever understand, Jesus reveals the greatness of God’s mercy. God’s mercy is for sinners. His mercy is for Jews, it’s for Gentiles, it’s for people of ever nation, for all who seek him.

    What does someone do when they’ve been rescued from great danger—pulled from a burning house, or saved from drowning? Or how does a person act after his life’s been spared: when he should’ve been killed, but someone had mercy? A natural response is the desire to tell people about it. Because what’s ...read more

    Two Blessings

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,681 views

    The following sermon is going to review both of these blessings not so that they can become a “catchy, Christianese cliché” at the end of one of one’s prayer, but so that one might understand how important it is to ask and receive from God a blessing for His people!

    Palm Sunday, The events of Holy Week will change the normal human understanding of life and death. After 2020 nothing will be normal again. Jesus knew how the week would end...not with His death, but with His resurrection which changes life and hope.

    Lost Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 21, 2021
     | 3,437 views

    When a Christian thinks about being lost, it’s a whole different concept from what the world sees as lost. So, let’s see how we can use the word lost in such a way that even a non-Christian will understand.

    Last week we began a series on our Holy vocabulary—the words that we use as Christians that we or others might not fully understand. We talked about the word HOLY and God explained to us what makes Him holy. Today we’re going to talk about being lost. When a Christian thinks about being lost, ...read more
