I Believe In Angels

Contributed by John Lowe on May 4, 2016

About 200 years ago, leading thinkers began to insist that we rely only on our reason and not the church's teachings. Science and technology came to shape our thinking about how the world works. Before long, angels began to disappear from peoples' consciousness.

April 30, 2016 Tom Lowe I Believe in Angels Text: “For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.” (Matthew 16:27). I have never heard a sermon on angels. Think back. Have you ...read more

The Rate Of Exchange

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 10, 2021

Jesus made it clear that you can gain everything the world has to offer, but it rusts, wears out, turns to dust, and you cannot take it with you after you die. If you lose your soul, however, you lose your life for eternity.

Humanity in its natural state really does not place much value on life, preferring to love death (Proverbs 8:36) in the form of abortions, murders, manslaughter, varied stages and types of physical, emotional, and mental abuse, and a placing on some individuals and groups a stigma of ...read more

What Is Our Part?

Contributed by David Nolte on Jan 20, 2021

Sometimes we presume to play God's part and forget about our part.

Things are not always as we want them to be. Disappointments, disasters, distresses, diseases, dilemmas, discouragement and depression destroy our dreams and desires. Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more

God And The Nations - Part 3 - Can The Nation Be Saved Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 16, 2020

Many Christians in America have inadvertently or intentionally placed the good of our nation above the good of the Kingdom of God. They are NOT the same thing. What is the proper Biblical attitude we should have regarding our relationship with the Lord and with our nation?

Part 1: Preparing For The Fight Series

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

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

A Warning That Bears Repeating

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022

As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

Works Or Not?

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 14, 2022

Doing good works is a very controversial topic among Christians, because they are either overemphasized or underemphasized. It’s hard to find the balance, but the scriptures are the best help.

The Cost Of Discipleship

Contributed by Wala-Neh Labala on Aug 14, 2022

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and what will it cost you? In this sermon we learned that denying our selves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus, means letting go of self-preservation, self-determination, and self-identity.
