When The Wine Runs Out

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 12, 2022

Sometimes "the wine runs out," i.e., the positives disappear out of our hopes & dreams, out of our marriages, and out of our relationship with God. The wonderful thing is that we don't have to stay that way! Jesus is here to restore our wine!

WHEN THE WINE RUNS OUT John 2:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man got a ticket to the Superbowl. He was happy until he got to his seat in the nosebleed section.

A Practice Run For The Great Commission Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 10, 2021

Jesus sent His apostles to the local towns and areas to proclaim the Gospel message, heal the sick, and cast out demons. They put what they have been taught by Him into action. We need to do the same if we're serious about our faith.

As we continue our journey through Mark's gospel, we come to an episode that could be described as a "trial run" of what the apostles and those after them will be doing in fulfilling Jesus' command to preach the Gospel to every living creature (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; ...read more

Let Justice Run Down

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more

What Makes The Church Run? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2020

What make a church successful? Is it lots of money? A great preacher? Great outreach programs and internal programming? Oddly enough, the early church didn't have that - and yet they turned the world upside down. What did the early church have that made the difference?

Flip Wilson was a popular black comedian several years ago, and among the routines he did were skits about a Preacher at the “What’s Happening Now Church.” One of his skits went like this: He’d shout out: "If this church is going to serve God it’s got to get down on its knees and crawl!!!” ...read more
