High Tide & Low Tide

Contributed by John Gaston on May 10, 2023

Life has its seas and turbulence, it’s ups & downs. There are times when everything is going right and other times when it seems everything is going wrong. The good news? God has set limits on the tides of life!

HIGH TIDE & LOW TIDE Job 38:8-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. It sounds like a made-up story, but it’s true. Some years ago a church in Carter County, Tennessee had an attorney draw up a deed for their property. He wrote the deed naming The Lord God Almighty as the owner. 2. That was fine ...read more

Dream Come True

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023

We dream small, but God dreams big. Mary’s dream was a small one, limited by her time and place and circumstances. Yet when God called her, she became a part of the greatest event the world has ever known.

What do you think of when you hear the phrase “American Dream”? All of us here are immigrants, one way or another.... Some have been here for two or three hundred years - or more! I think some of mine came in the 17th century. What did your ancestors come here for? Was it for religious freedom, or ...read more

Missing Pieces Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 25, 2020

Knowledge of God’s Word and doctrine is an important part of Christian growth and maturity; it is not enough, but it is foundational. We vary, one from another, in our relationship to it.

Missing Pieces (Acts 18:24-28; 19:1-10) 1. A not-so- bright gal calls her boyfriend and says, “Please come over here and help me.

Essence Of God #5 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Aug 12, 2005

Tragically, our limited human reasoning concludes that -- If God is a God of absolute justice, then He must be sitting up in heaven waiting to clobber us. That would have some validity, However, among those qualities of God’s essence, is also Love.

God’s plan for the human race has been and always will be redemption. This plan of God was in place even before God formed the world on which mankind lives this temporal life. It is important to know and understand this fact, not only to understand the person of God, BUT also to have a proper ...read more

Who Do You Trust? Series

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 20, 2010

Sin is deadly in the end even though it may seem pleasurable in the beginning. Humans cannot determine what is right and wrong in the universe God created. It is beyond our limitations. So we can and must trust God. The question is will you trust him.

Of Prayers And Trumpets And Prophetic Proclamation

Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 18, 2010

Revelation leaves us gasping for breath when we see God’s response to the saints prayers. When God sends even his limited judgments against his enemies... "Woe, woe, woe! is about all that can describe it.

Take the book of Revelation and remove it from its historical foundation and give it to scholars with a fertile imagination and let them consider their present situation and they will surely make a new application or see it as a biblical alegorization. Revelation 8-11 shows us how the saints’ ...read more

You Are Uncontainable

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 7, 2025

The enemy often tries to suppress, limit, and stop the progress of God's people. However, the power of God upon His children makes them uncontainable. No affliction, opposition, or attack can stop a person whom God has destined to rise.

The Value Of Human Need In God's Kingdom

Contributed by Dianabasi Essien on Mar 30, 2025
