    The God Haters

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 8, 2017
     | 6,959 views

    This is a look at those who hate God

    God Haters If you remember reading the August 22 1949 edition of Time Magazine then you would remember seeing a young Elizabeth Taylor on the cover and various articles that almost sound current. Under the National section, for example, there was a little bit of a scandal in the white house. ...read more

    1 Timothy 4:11-16 shows us the dos and don'ts of Christian ministry.

    Scripture In his First Letter to Timothy, Paul wanted Timothy to stop the false teaching that was taking place in the churches in Ephesus (1:3-4), and also to teach believers how to behave in the household of God (3:14-15). In chapter 4, Paul set down the qualities of an excellent minister. In ...read more

    The Armor Of God 3 Of 8

     | 1,232 views

    In this life, we have people that we consider to be our enemies.

    That is, they do not like us, and every time they get a chance to do us some harm they do it solicitously. That is a fact of life, it is something we mortals live with every day of our lives. There are many reasons that people hate us, such as: (1) Some people are just evil to the core, and ...read more

    The Return Of The Prodigal

     | 2,842 views

    The fifteenth chapter of Luke gives us a wealth of information about a certain Jewish family.

    For example, we know from this scripture: • “A certain man had two sons.” (v. 11) • The younger son seemed to be a problem child. Look at verse 12. We read, “And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me...” • -The younger son was ...read more

    Defeating Discouragement

    A nationally known preacher told a group of men at a preacher’s conference that HE HAD NEVER BEEN DISCOURAGED A DAY OF HIS LIFE!

    Listen, he lost all credibility with many of the preachers there, because that just sounded like it could not be true. Everyone has to battle some degree of discouragement at some time in life; I MEAN EVERYONE! The Bible tells us that there was none greater born among women than John the Baptist, ...read more

    A Conversation With A Cousin

     | 1,960 views

    In this passage of scripture we see something that is out of the ordinary in the life of John the Baptist.

    Many times life becomes boring for some of us because day after day it is the same old stuff. But then some days we come to a place in life where things are not routine at all. We see such a situation in the Scripture passage we read a few minutes ago. John lived like we all do. He preached day ...read more

    Sermon # 39 - Eradicate Envy Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 15, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,366 views

    Are we targets of envy or do we sometimes envy others? Jealousy is a strong emotion that can cause much harm, and God’s word teaches us how to deal with it and be rid of it from our lives.

    We read in Hebrews 13:5, Don't love money. Be happy with what you have because God has said, "I will never abandon you or leave you." (GW) One of the crucial emotions that a majority of people struggle with, is that of jealousy, though many feel uncomfortable to accept this fact. If ...read more

    The Apostle Paul writes a letter to the Philippian while under house arrest chained to two Romans guards around the clock. He may also be executed for his faith in Jesus as the Christ. Yet, through it all, Paul is able to rejoice.

    A. Philippians 4:4-8 (READ) 1. Today we begin a series of lessons corresponding with our Small Group Study entitled: “ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING” based on the book by Max Lucado, who based his book on this passage. 2.

    Sermon # 7 - Watch And Pray Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,183 views

    Jesus wanted His disciples to tarry with Him in prayer at a most crucial hour, but they were overcome with sleep. If we can set aside some distractions and discipline ourselves to spend time with God we will experience wonderful transformation in our lives.

    We read in Mark 14:37, He went back and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour? (GW) As Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, he instructed his disciples to tarry in prayer right where they were, when He went on further ...read more

    Sermon # 5 - Choose Wisely Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,605 views

    Every day we make so many choices and every choice has a consequence. If we can learn to make godly choices we will steer clear of much trouble and regrets. Here are some important principles we can follow that will help us make right choices.

    We read in Genesis 13:10-11, Lot looked around and saw that the whole Jordan Valley, all the way to Zoar, had plenty of water, like the Garden of the LORD or like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD had destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.) So Lot chose the whole Jordan Valley for ...read more

    Sermon # 34 - The Unchanging God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 628 views

    Have you ever wondered if God would change His mind and if so for what reasons? The repentant King and people of Nineveh help us understand God’s true character, and our responsibility as the believers who belong to the body of Christ, the Church.

    We read in Jonah 3:10,“God saw what they did; he saw that they had given up their wicked behavior. So he changed his mind and did not punish them as he had said he would.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to preach against the city of Nineveh, with the message that in forty days the city would be ...read more

    Sermon # 42 - Rejection To Restoration Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 5, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 253 views

    Rejection is painful, but interestingly those who are rejected by men are the ones whom God joyfully embraces to fulfill His plans and His purposes. The bible is full of examples of such people who though rejected by men were restored and honored by God.

    Today’s meditation is taken from Matthew 21:42, Jesus said to them, "Haven't you ever read what the Scriptures say? 'The stone which the builders rejected as worthless turned out to be the most important of all. This was done by the Lord; what a wonderful sight it is!' (GNB) There ...read more

    You are called to belong to Jesus Christ. You are called to a life of obedience to God, to a life of serving the gospel of God. How will the call to belong to Jesus Christ affect your life?

    Lot’s escape from Soddom and Gommorah offers relevant insight on how to ruin your life - or things to avoid so that this does not happen.

    Sometimes people just push the Lord too far. And this time it is the people of Sodom, a city on the plains of Jordan near the Dead Sea. Do we all remember the story of this town Sodom? Abraham leaves his home after making a covenant with God in chapter 12. He settles in the hills of Canaan, but ...read more
