The Caged Spirit Series

Contributed by Freedom Obanijesu on May 31, 2020

What are these “spirits in prison”? Many people reading the word “spirits” in this passage translate it in their minds to dead people who supposedly live now (as spirits) in a prison.

1 Peter 3:19 : The spirits in prison Some time ago, I got a question from a friend of mine concerning the passage of I Peter 3:19. Let’s read this passage together with verses 18 and 20: I Peter 3:18-20 “For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us ...read more

Add To Your Faith (God's Gift To Believers)

Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 23, 2020

I believe everyone is born with a measure of faith, but that is not the end of things. "Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures" (Luke 24:45, HCSB).

We have it on proper authority that everyone is born with a measure of faith. "Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures" (Luke 24:45, HCSB). Wouldn't you love for someone to open your mind and give you a new understanding of what is and what will be? The Scriptures say ...read more

Trust Not In Princes Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 8, 2020

The Scriptures enjoin us not to trust in princes, because God’s word is very clear about human minds and wills. We are weak, and so we sin.

Tuesday of 5th Week in Course 2020 Our Lady of Lourdes This is a grand tableau from the First Book of Kings: Solomon has spent years constructing the Temple of the Lord, and here he is dedicating it to the worship of the God of Israel.

Living Water

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2019

This message is about the importance of living water. The western mind struggles to comprehend how important this was to the woman at the well. As is today spiritually we struggle to truly connect to this analogy.

Note: I did read a few articles on the waters of the Middle East in Jesus' day. So this is a combination of different sources. Title: Living Water Theme: To show the need for more in a persons life and how to share our faith. Text: John 4:1 - 26 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the ...read more

Laying The Groundwork Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Biblical faith is always based on facts, and is supported by evidence. If we would keep this in mind, we would avoid many of the foolish mistakes Christians have made.

One of the most novel debates in the history of Christianity was that over the question of whether or not Adam and Eve had a navel. The man in the street could hide his conviction, but the artist had to face the issue squarely and choose a side. His works made it clear whether he was pro or ...read more

Patience!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 30, 2014

The worldly way of getting the steam out of you and giving a ‘piece of your mind’ to the person who has hurt you will not reap the right results.

Patience…….Day 20 James 1:3,4 “…knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”(Memorize) Even after many years in the ministry, I still learn lessons the hard ...read more

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Sep 29, 2014

A dream happens in the unconscious mind but it affects your behavior and they will affect your behavior to the point that you operate a certain way without even thinking about it.

Records

Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 10, 2021

Regardless of what our motives might be, we should keep in mind the end result. That is what's going to show up in our record.

The Bible contains messages for two classes of people: Salvation for the lost, a life of service for the Christian. There are many motives for serving God: 1. Fear. Genesis 22:12 2. Love; 1 John 5:3 3. Duty 4. Show of; Luke 18:9-12 Five things I want to notice about our record. I. Recorded; Job ...read more

What Are You Thankful For

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Nov 15, 2021

Here, near the end of his letter to the Church at Philippi, the Apostle Paul picks up on that connection. He links our Thanksgiving to God with peace in our mind.

TITLE: WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR? SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 4:4-8 (This is not an original message, points gleaned from various ministers over the years) As many of you know in my haste, I actually scheduled our Church Anniversary/Homecoming a week early.

The Power Of Discipleship Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 4, 2022

Disciples are formed not informed. Jesus did not just teach the disciples. They learned in the situations like witnessing to the woman at the well. The impressions burned in their mind. This is the “Organic Discipleship” process.

The gospels record many occasions when Jesus addressed large crowds. But when we take an overview of the Gospels we discover that his speaking to the large crowds is not what made the lasting impact. What carried the ministry of Jesus after his death was the time he invested with small ...read more

Our Obligations In Christ

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016

I approached this text with fathers in mind, for a Father's Day message. Our society needs men who understand their spiritual obligations and are willing to invest in the lives of others.

Our Obligations in Christ Philippians 2: 12-16 Today we celebrate Father’s Day and seek to honor those men who have made an impact in our lives, particularly our dads.
