    Standing Firm In The Last Days

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Feb 7, 2025
     | 886 views

    Paul describes a society that has turned away from God, where people are consumed with self-interest, greed, pride, and ungodliness. His words sound eerily familiar, as if they were written for our own time. But they also contain guidance and encouragement for us as faithful Christians.

    “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    Go! And Live A Holy Life Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 843 views

    The Christian life is a call to holiness. In a world that promotes self-indulgence, compromise, and sin, God calls us to live differently. The sacrifice of Christ demands a response: a life set apart for Him. But what does holiness mean, and how do we live it out daily?

    Go! And Live a Holy Life Introduction: The Christian life is a call to holiness. In a world that promotes self-indulgence, compromise, and sin, God calls us to live differently. 2 Corinthians 5:15 (NLT) declares: "He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer ...read more

    "Show Me The Way”: Learning To Follow God’s Path Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Mar 5, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 255 views

    The world offers thousands of voices telling us which direction to take. Social media, self-help philosophies, political ideologies, and cultural trends all claim to know the way. But Scripture teaches something profoundly different. The way is not found in the world. The way is found in God.

    “Show Me the Way”: Learning to Follow God’s Path Introduction: The Cry of a Disciple Brothers and sisters, one of the great questions of the human heart is this: “Which way should I go?” We ask it in moments of crisis. We ask it when facing decisions. We ask it when life becomes ...read more

    It is only through ignorance of self that others can humiliate, intimidate, control, and erase us however when you understand that the same DNA that ran through the veins of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob runs through yours, that you are a recipient of the Divine Promise, that you have an inheritance.

    Lost By Bishop Melvin L, Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - It is my desire, my mission to dive into one of the most intriguing Biblical facts of history and talk about the 12 tribes of Israel.

    Freedom: Devotion Or Devouring?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 11, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,102 views

    Black History Month and Amazing Grace Sunday: there is much to celebrate about freedom, when we review history. But we either devote ourselves to freedom (political, social, spiritual) or we devour ourselves. Newton’s story illustrates. Montgomery Hill

    It’s a glorious thing to discover that you are free. Freedom tastes good, smells good, feels good. But after you find out you are free, then what? What do you do with your freedom? There are only two answers to that question: freedom either leads you to devotion; or it drives you to devour. ...read more

    Love Or Cosmetology? Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,557 views

    Valentine's Day: If church members do Christian things like feed the homeless or go on mission trips, and these acts are done without love, then people are just wasting their time. Without love, God doesn’t care what we do for Him.

    Neil Postman writes in his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, “that we have reached the point where cosmetics has replaced ideology [or “practice”] as [a] field of expertise.”(1) The verb “cosmeticize” means, “to make something unpleasant or ugly superficially attractive.”(2) It’s common for people ...read more

    Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 2 - Genesis Chapter 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,031 views

    We continue the study in Genesis chapter 1 to see how sinful and deluded man has overturned all that God set in place, inverting and destroying it. We especially look at evolution and God is Light. Man’s inversion of God’s order causes chaos and growing evil.

    MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 2 GENESIS CHAPTER 1 In Part 1 we looked at how man has taken what belongs to God and cancelled God out of the whole matter. The self-deceived in the world dismiss God and His creation and wallow in their own intelligence ...read more

    Violating Honest, Kind Communication Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 19, 2018
     | 3,485 views

    We have all misused our tongues, and perhaps created much damage. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we don’t want to be like the natural, unregenerate person; we want to live on a higher level, one that honors God. Let’s take a look at 3 very familiar violations of honest, kind communication.

    Violating Honest, Kind Communication (Proverbs 26:17, 20-26) 1. Most of us will enjoy a big Thanksgiving feast! BTW, What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

    This sermon is a celebration of the armed forces in the united states and a demonstration of the love and sacrifice that the military live in their service to our nation. It also shows the love and sacrifice that Jesus made for us. Based on Rom 12:9-12

    Introduction Today is a special day in our church calendar. It’s not a holiday. It’s not a specific celebration of any historical event, person or location. It’s a day we set aside to honor and remember the members of the Armed Forces who have served our nation so well. We ...read more

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 28, 2018
     | 7,430 views

    Learning more about God is the greatest intellectual pursuit of the human mind. The subject of God is transcendent … as vast as infinity. But studying God, to me, is the most satisfying, uplifting, edifying, expanding, and glorious task we could ever undertake.
