    The Census And The Plague

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 16, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,173 views

    In 2020 the U.S. conducted a Census - the same year of the pandemic. In wondering if there is a correlation between the census and the plague, I began searching the Scriptures, and I think you’ll be surprised as to what I found out.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “The Census and the Plague.” This is the year of the United States 2020 Census. This is also the year of a global pandemic known as the Corona Virus and Covid 19; and I’ve been contemplating for quite some time the irony of how we actually had a pandemic ...read more

    Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 (ESV)

    Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 (ESV) It's amazing how God lines things up. Because I've been thinking about this topic endlessly in the past 6 months. Purity. The further and ...read more

    Redeeming The Time Series

    New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

    To begin our message, I want to point out a couple of concerns we often hear expressed by pastors and church leaders, which are: 1.) Christians rarely share their faith, and 2.) Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more

    Psychic Not-Line

    Are things like horoscopes and astrology ok? Are things like Ouija boards and holding séances just harmless fun? What does God think about psychics and fortune tellers? Let's find out.

    PSYCHIC NOT-LINE I watched a crime show recently that featured a palm reader who was taking advantage of people and manipulating them out of their money. In one case she ended up getting over a million dollars from this elderly woman. It's sad. But unfortunately it's not uncommon for ...read more

     | 7,420 views

    For Christian worshippers, the ability to watch worship online is a great gift. I am so grateful for technology to connect with you. Yet, the ability to watch worship online comes with challenges too.

    The ground has shifted in remarkable ways over the past four months. With the onset of a deadly virus, many of you rightly changed your Sunday habits of worship. A virus has demanded that we take precautions with our health. We are at a crossroads where scientists and doctors are battling for our ...read more

     | 7,921 views

    With Thanksgiving just days away, this is the time of year when we focus on the reasons we are thankful. That might be harder to do this year with COVID but we still need to be in a mode of giving thanks. Thank you-two small but powerful words that mean so much.

    THANK YOU With Thanksgiving just days away, this is the time of year when we focus on the reasons we are thankful. That might be harder to do this year with COVID but we still need to be in a mode of giving thanks. We should be in thank you mode the entire year; yes, even this year. There are ...read more

    Christmas Cheer

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 20, 2020
     | 4,042 views

    Christmas is a time of cheer. You might respond with, "not this year. The Christmas cheer has been replaced with Christmas fear!" There was both fear and cheer surrounding the events of the first Christmas.

    CHRISTMAS CHEER There's a Christmas song titled, Holly, Jolly Christmas. It starts out, "Have a holly jolly Christmas; It's the best time of the year. Now I don't know if there'll be snow; But have a cup of cheer". I wonder what's in that cup? But Christmas is a time ...read more

    When Samuel grew old, and Israel looked around and saw other nations had kings, they decided they wanted one also.

    Looking around and wanting something that someone else has can get us into lots of trouble. Illus: A man saw other men with their good looking wives, and decided he wanted a wife. One day, he walked into the restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him, and as he sat there, the waitress came ...read more

    I want to preach about what many believe is the number one problem in many homes today…THAT IS COMMUNICATION.

    If you do the research most marriage counselors will tell you that 85% of the problems they deal with in marriages today has to do with communication. Some believe the reason for the problem with communication has to do with the difference between the male and female brain. Illus: Did you hear ...read more

    Today we celebrate Mother’s Day and all of us have come to honor our mothers.

    We honor our mothers in two ways: (1) SOME ARE HERE TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF THEIR MOTHER who has gone to be with the Lord. Some of you are wearing a white rose or carnation to show that she has gone to be with the Lord. Today, you remember all the GOOD THINGS your loving mother taught you as a ...read more

    We all have heard the battle of Jericho many times in Sunday school and the many sermons we have heard.

    There is a reason the battle of Jericho is preached and taught so much. First, A small child in Sunday school and can hear it and understand it. Secondly, Joshua 6 and 7 teaches us some very important things about obeying God. Thirdly, But another important thing about these two chapters is ...read more

    What do you picture when you picture God: A heavenly tyrant and scrupulous bookkeeper? "Every idea and assumption, says Trevor Hudson, must be measured against the person of Jesus."

    Last Sunday I asked you to mentally or physically draw a picture of what you think God looks like. It may have sounded silly or trite, but I was very, very serious. As preacher, author, and lecturer Trevor Hudson so powerfully and succinctly put it: “In each of our hearts and minds there is ...read more
