Slipping Into Ruin Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Apr 16, 2020

If you want to keep from slipping into ruin, depend on the Lord and then keep depending on the Lord; but if you’re already on the slippery slope to ruin, repent; turn from your sin back to God, and let Him bring you back to the top again.

About this time four years ago (Spring 2016), 23 total strangers bid farewell to the modern world as we know it.

Simple Faith

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on May 15, 2021

If you have ever reached a low point in your life where it seems like everything was coming against you, then you know about simple faith. It's the faith that remains when everything else has been stripped from you which enables you to take another step in God's promises.

Simple Faith Scripture: Hebrews 11:1, 6; Romans 5:1-2 The title of my message this morning is “Simple Faith.” As some of you are aware, I retired last Monday after thirty-two years in the pharmaceutical industry.

Experiencing Finanical Peace Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Jesus wants you to use your final days and your money to win friends for your future: “And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings” (Luke 16:9).

This morning I want to put a bow on our series, Margin, by examining Jesus’ words on the important subject of money. In week one, we learned the value of contentment. In week two, we learned the value of saving for a rainy day. Last week, we saw something of the joy of giving. Today, I want you to ...read more

God, Gender, And Pornography Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Pornography is killing our men. The 2016 Republican Party platform calls pornography a “public-health crisis that is destroying the lives of millions.” And even the liberal New York Times ran an article with the headline: “It’s O.K., Liberal Parents, You Can Freak Out About Porn” on July 16, 2016.

Thank you for joining for this important topic: God, Gender, and Pornography. In an interesting twist of God’s rich providence, our teens are looking at this subject with a guest upstairs this evening. The Problem of Pornography is real. In April 2010, The Atlantic Monthly ran an article ...read more

Nine Tests Of Prophecy Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 26, 2021

Gullible believers can be misled by false prophecies. We are told in Scripture to judge all prophecy. This message equips Christians with nine tests to determine whether a prophecy, dream, vision, etc. is from God.

During the last two messages, we have addressed the need to judge prophetic ministry. Last week we learned from the story in 1 Kings 13 where the failure to judge a prophecy cost a man his life. It led him astray, and he was killed by a lion. Jesus warned about the increase in deception that ...read more
