The Fruitful Believer Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jan 14, 2022

Jesus provides us an image of what the fruitful believer looks like. Jesus likens Himself to a vine, and the Father is the one for cares for the vine. The believers in Christ Jesus - the ones who are alive and receiving life from the vine - are the branches of vine with the purpose of bearing fruit.

The Great Need For Bible Convictions

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 2, 2022

In the modern church today, you do not hear many sermons on Bible convictions. In fact, in the modern church, the word “Conviction” is rarely mentioned.

Illus: Years ago, it was not unusual to hear Christians in the church saying such things as, “I do not do this, or that, because it is a Bible conviction I have.” But today, you rarely hear professing Christians talk about Bible convictions they have. Why? Because, Bible convictions are based on ...read more

When The Cure Looks Like The Curse

Contributed by Patty Groot on Sep 16, 2025

This sermon calls us to lift our eyes from our wounds to Christ...just as the Israelites looked at the bronze serpent, trusting God to transform our places of pain into sources of healing and redemption.

Have you ever had to look at the very thing that hurt you in order to be healed? That sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? We tend to run from pain, not toward it. We avoid the memories that wounded us, the people who betrayed us, the experiences that left us scarred. But what if God invites us, ...read more
