    In this episode from the life of Peter, we learn how to avoid being used by Satan to stop the progress of God's kingdom.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a minister who parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. 1.

    Part 1: Preparing For The Fight Series

    Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019
     | 5,328 views

    I was raised NOT to fight. My Father told me since I was knee-high that fighting was wrong and that I would get a “whoopin’” if he ever found out that I had been fighting.

    The first fight I ever had was unofficial if you will and it was between a local farm-boy and myself. I was defeated, although it took awhile, and I ended up with two black eyes and some swelling to my jaw. I never asked for the fight but it happened and I was ill-prepared to defend ...read more

    Can You Keep A Secret?

    These men were not ready to be trusted with the tender things of the Lord. Jesus knew it was not time for the disciples to teach the truths which would soon come to the infant body of believers called "the church."

    TITLE: CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 16:13:20 I am sure we all have that one family member that we know whenever a secret needs to be kept, make sure you don’t tell them. Isn’t that right Sister Pat? There are some that are just not that good at keeping secrets. I have a ...read more

    When we look at some less well-known people in the Bible whose names we might just pass over while reading a verse or passage of scripture, you will discover that God has also used many ordinary people in a powerful way.

    Our theme this year is Powerful People and we are going to examine together how God works in and through ordinary people in a powerful way. Some of the people from the Bible we will look at are more well known than others. The Bible is a collection of 66 books and letters, 39 in the Old ...read more

    An Inspired Description Of The Church

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020
     | 2,474 views

    In these verses of scripture, we have an authentic description of the true church of God. This is what God, Himself, says about the church. On every hand today the church and the very use of the word “church” is misunderstood.

    Reihold Niebuhr said this about the church, “The church is a lot like Noah’s ark, if it weren’t for the storm on the outside, you could not stand the stink on the inside.” True of many churches today, I don’t know of any time when the church has made more racket and been less effective in the world ...read more

    Faithful people of every age have stood up and professed Jesus as their Savior and their Lord because of the foundation of their faith … the love of God as shown to us by His Son, Jesus Christ, becoming another stone laid atop many other stones.

At the end of the service, they are asked to place their stones at the foot of a wooden cross ...read more
