Godliness Is A Lifelong Learning Journey. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Mar 4, 2024

Because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, sin has been an “inheritance” for all of their descendants.

According to the Bible, humanity's first parents, Adam and Eve, committed the original sin, which has been passed down to every generation since. In this article, we will explore the biblical basis for this belief.As the apostle Paul writes, "Where sin increased, grace abounded all the ...read more

Praying A Promise Series

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Apr 24, 2020

The subject we are looking at is not the miracle that God performed with Hannah and her husband Elkanah, nor is it about the maltreatment from another family member that led to bitterness. Both would be great subjects. Today I would like to look at the subject of “Praying A Promise.”

Discovering The Precious Promises Of God “Praying A Promise” I Samuel 1:9-18 4-24-2020AM We have in our text today a familiar passage that has been preached by many preachers. I am not here to top what they have said, but to bring out a truth that has been on my heart. The subject we are ...read more

Integrity is the act of doing the right thing at all times and in all situations, whether or not anyone is watching. It takes discipline and determination to live a life of integrity

“Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.” “Skin for skin!” Satan ...read more

Suddenly Like A Thief Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 8, 2020

If we can’t show the fruits of God’s investment at the end of our lives, just what good have we done ourselves, our God or our neighbor?

Thirty-third Sunday in Course 2020 “Suddenly, Like a Thief in the Night” Most of us have probably noticed over the last two or three decades that TV comedies, and even some dramas, most often have a brilliant and comely female lead and a bumbling, even stupid male co-star.

The Kind Of Church I Want Mine To Be

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020

The only institution which Christ founded upon this earth is His Church. He established it more than 1900 years ago. The Church began with just a handful of believers, but through the years many have felt the power of the Gospel message as it was brought to them through the churches.

Some people say today that the influence of the Church is diminishing, but we know that it is still a mighty power in the hearts and lives of millions of people. Men may curse the Church today, but few, I know would want to live in a community where there is no Christian influence, no church. They ...read more

Nothing Shall Stand Against You

Contributed by Marlou Javier on Mar 22, 2021

While the promise that God would be with Joshua was specific to Joshua, the principle extends to us today. So, let’s study these principles in Joshua 10.

The story in chapter 10 however begins with the conflict of battle involving five Amorite kings who decided to attack Gibeon because they made a treaty with Israel. The Gibeonites pleaded to Joshua:“Don’t abandon your servants now!” Come at once! Save us! Help us! For all the Amorite kings who ...read more

Empty The Quiver

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 8, 2021

Christians have been fighting the wrong battle with the wrong weapons and when they get a clue they do not empty their quiver

This was written in 2017 and it would appear that I was correct. 2 Kings 13:14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. ...read more

Christian Liberty

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 30, 2023

How do we handle the freedom we have in Christ? Let's find out in Romans 14.

Christ gives us liberty, but some are weak, and causing unnecessary offense is an abuse of that Christian freedom. How should we treat those who are weak in faith? Welcome the person who is weak in faith—but not in order to argue about differences of opinion. (Romans 14:1 CEB) What about food ...read more

Weeds Series

One man's weed is another man's flower. Are you sure you can tell the difference?

I must admit, I was a bit troubled by this scripture passage (the Parable of the Weeds). Let me tell you why I found this unsettling: It’s about the weeds. You see, every time I walk down the sidewalk to Church, I marvel at what’s growing beside it: along with the grass, there are these small, ...read more
