Why People Don't Believe Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Feb 4, 2021

There is one reason why someone who has heard the truth of the Gospel does not commit their life to Jesus. Do you know what it is?

Introduction In recent weeks, there have been concerted and coordinated efforts by the liberal left to silence - even exterminate conservative voice. The uprising by supporters of President Trump at the US Capitol has fueled that effort. Tech giants like Google (YouTube) Facebook, and Twitter are ...read more

Vaccination Application 5.0 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Feb 25, 2021

To guard against the encroaching effects of the sin in the world, we must serve others unconditionally.

There are a couple of big questions on the minds of many people: Do I or don't I get the vaccination? And if I am going to get the vaccination, when? The question becomes more complex when a person is frail for one reason or another. Then there is the matter of believing in the science and the ...read more

Fulfilling The Prophets

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 5, 2021

Jesus' Deity is confirmed by His fulfillment of many of the Old Testament prophecies about the coming Messiah. However, He did not fulfill them all and that was on purpose. The fulfillment of some of the prophecies is yet to come, and, they WILL be fulfilled.

Fulfilling the Prophets Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil ...read more

The Messiah God Wants, Not Necessarily The One You Want Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 29, 2021

Why did Jesus not heal many of the sick in His own home town?

Monday of 22nd week in Course 1 Cor 2: 1-5; Lk 4: 16-30 Hearing today’s Gospel with fresh ears might lead some of us to be a little critical of Jesus. After all, the townsfolk of Nazareth welcomed Jesus back and invited Him to act as lector and even give the homily. When he told them that He was ...read more

The Anointing Of God For Serving Others

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 3, 2020

This is a detailed Multi-Part series on why the daily anointing of God is vital to the Born-Again Christian.

The word “anointing” is one of the most misunderstood and misused words in the church. It is often taught as if the anointing is something that people can “feel” when the “anointing” is in the room. People go to “spiritual” teachers who have declared they have a special “anointing” and, therefore, ...read more

What Should Really Matter In Life?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

The Bible clearly reveals what was important to the Lord. And the things that were important to Him should also be important to us. But that is not the case for some folks. It is amazing what some people see as important.

Embracing Grace

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more

Zechariah's Fifth Vision: Empowered For Service Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 19, 2022

How will we finish the assignments God gives us in life? In this vision, God gave Zechariah the timeless principle that answers that question. This vision in Zechariah 4 has a lampstand and two olive trees. What do they represent? What message is God sending His people in this vision?

Intro Zechariah 4 records this prophet’s 5th vision. As in the previous vision (chapter 3), God is addressing the concerns Zechariah and his companions had in their assignment to rebuild the temple and restore worship in Jerusalem. The concern dealt with in the previous visions was how can we be ...read more

The Best Mother's Day Ever

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 7, 2022

Mothers care that their kids are well provided for. That is close to God's heart of concern for those less fortunate in our world.

We all know what mothers are supposed to want on Mother’s Day. A card is great, whether professionally made, with a beautiful picture on the front and a sentimental poem on the inside, or maybe home made, decorated inside and out with crayons that are handled with more love than professional ...read more

Not A Tame Lion

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 7, 2022

We like to keep things calm and happy in church, but one day Jesus really upset folks in his home synagogue. Are you ready to follow him?

You’ve heard me say before that I love The Chronicles of Narnia, written by C.S. Lewis. We read them over and over again to our children as they were growing up. Maybe a year ago one of them, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, came out in a very successful movie. That inspired me to read ...read more

Oppression Defeated.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 20, 2022

Jesus is anointed to defeat any stronghold of oppression. A stronghold is something that has been around a while. Strongholds don’t get nervous over your self-will and or your self-determination. The very word stronghold indicates its here to stay.

Oppression Defeated. Acts 10:34-38KJV One man stated—Men ablaze are invincible. The stronghold of Satan is proof against everything but fire. Most of us are familiar with this song—it’s the theme from the television show Friends. But have you ever caught the lyrics to the song? They read, in ...read more

The Anointing Today

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Feb 26, 2022

The flow of the anointing can be seen throughout the Bible and every significant revival in church history. Simply put, if there were no anointing, there would be no revival. The anointing is the burden removing, yoke destroying power of God.

Scripture Text: Acts 1:8 INTRODUCTION Revival & Anointing Go Together DEFINITIONS: Websters ANOINT', v.t. [L. ungo.] To pour oil upon; to smear or rub over with oil or unctuous substances; also to spread over, as oil. To consecrate by unction or the use of oil. • Thou shalt anoint the ...read more

Wise in the world competes with wisdom of the Lord and our call to be peacemakers.

A few weeks ago, we started a year-long journey chronological study of the New Testament today. Hence the reason we are calling this message series Chronos.
