    Solomon’s foolishness is repeated by his son who refuses to listen to the wise counsel of his advisers and instead turns to his younger peers who agree with him.

    By Rev Roy Hamer About thirty years ago Jo and I were involved in Youth Adventure camping. In fact you could say it’s how we met. You see we had mutual friends who where rock climbers and Jo and I often went climbing with them. Jo was a great climber: nimble flexible and brave. On the other hand ...read more

    Who Will Take The Responsibility?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 6, 2019
     | 4,694 views

    Seems we desire the fire but we will settle for smoke? Are we so good at offering excuses that we refuse to accept accountability and the responsibility for our actions, reactions or no action?

    WHO WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I love to start with a question. Will you answer this: ARE YOU THE PROBLEM? OR ARE YOU THE SOLUTION? IS THE BEST OFFERING YOU CAN GIVE TO GOD THE OFFERING OF MAKING EXCUSES? Luke 14:18 And they all with one ...read more

    Which Christ Do You Follow? Part 1

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 10, 2014
     | 3,327 views

    The problem is, however, that too many Christians are walking around with blinders on or those rose colored glasses that cause everything to look like Christ and they refuse to look at reality.

    Repeat the sermon title. Now let’s think about this before we answer. Your answer may be simply; “There ain’t but one ya big dummy! And that’s the one I foller!” But are you sure? If you really look around, you’ll see; if you will but open your eyes you’ll ...read more

    Why do we see the signs of Christ’s presence and refuse to believe in Him? He is the Son of God. What does He want to do in us today?

    Monday of 18th week in course Gospel of Life Poor Hananiah the prophet. He was completely clueless about the mission of a prophet. He believed–and I think it was a core belief–that prophets are called by God to make people feel better. So when Jeremiah, miming his prophecy of disaster for a ...read more

    Coming To The Feast Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 5, 2022
     | 3,107 views

    This message is intended to explain the great offense shown in ignoring both the invitation to the Feast and the refusal to wear the proper wedding Garment, which is a reflection of Christ's Righteousness.

    The parable which began Matthew 22, our Gospel lesson this morning, is a parable that can really bug people. It’s shocking and disturbing and I have found over the years that people complain about it because of how harsh it is. It also serves as a good way for us to better understand how to ...read more

    The stubbornness of Judah was so great, it severed any contact with the LORD. They refused to repent. Jeremiah tried to reason it out, but God set out the charges against the nation with the promise certain judgement was coming. Also look at is faithfulness and commitment in our lives.

    Prayer that does not get past the ceiling; Israel will be restored; the remarkable story of John Newton (Amazing Grace); the off-scouring and refuse of the world; enemies’ mouths are against God’s people – Moab and Islam and their hatred – all these are considered here in this study.

    The Apostle Peter reassures us: There will be a final judgment. Also we look at the reality of hell, and why people refuse to believe in it - SIN, they want to justify their sin. See sermon for details......

    A little note about the sermon title: I had a little boy say outloud "Hell In A Handbasket". His mom said sternly: "Where did you hear such a thing?" "I was just reading the sermon title mommy". Maybe I should have gone with my alternate title: H. E. double toothpicks. An old sourdough [that’s ...read more

Once they grab hold, they are determined not to let go. They are focused with a made up mind not to release their prey. ...read more
