    God treats you with GRACE. He comes to ASSURE you, of His presence and promise. He wants to BLESS you.

    Isaac has twin sons, Jacob and Esau. Right from the beginning, Gen 25 tells us they were very different. • Esau a skilful hunter, always out in the open country, and Jacob staying in the tents, a homemaker. • There was rivalry between them, right from the start. Genesis records two ...read more

    God rewards us as we participate in his deliverance and establishment of his kingdom

    Today, we move to the book of Obadiah. The only one chapter book in the Old Testament. It's a story of a distant cousin rivalry. They were warring cousins much like the hatfields and the McCoys. Their feud begins at the moment His brother, Essau also falls prey to his brother’s swindle for a ...read more

    Matthew 16:13-20 What does this passage actually say and not say to us?

    Prelude, Purpose, Plan Protestants, Orthodox and Catholics largely agree on perhaps 95% of the most important teachings of Christianity. Why do we drift from the message that Jesus taught into partisanship and graceless rivalry? For instance, how do we deal with the claim by Rome of exclusive ...read more

    Be Careful Of Divisive Spirits

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023
     | 887 views

    The goal of a divisive person is to cause conflict. "I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching you received. Keep away from them" (Rom. 16:17, GNT)!

    People that participate in divisive arguments have an unhealthy interest in creating strife. However, a mature, faith-filled person recognizes that participating in contentious discussions will not end the matter. With the knowledge of God and the wisdom of the Lord, we understand that calmer ...read more

    This sermon examines the life of John the Baptist as a model of servanthood and challenges the listener to look for those qualities in himself.

    Introduction: One of the features of the Bible that I love is how people basically haven’t changed much in the past 6,000 years. Jn 3 shows that well. First, open to Mk 9:33ff, a scene 2 years later. Just kind follow along with me there. The disciples are on the road to Capernaum, having an ...read more

    The Bad Judge Series

     | 27,344 views

    God dedicated 57 verses to a wicked judge who ruled as king in Israel for about 3 years. Why would He do that? Is it possible the story of this evil man has something to us about how we should think as Christians?

    OPEN: In Clay County, Kentucky there was a judge named R. Cletus Maricle. He was one of the rare judges I could find online who had been permanently disbarred. You might ask: “Jeff, why was he disbarred?” I’m glad you asked. R. Cletus Maricle was disbarred because he and 7 other ...read more
