Freedom In Christ

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Feb 23, 2021

Our identity is in Christ. Christianity is a lifestyle not a plaque we put on the wall. there are alot of people who claim they are Christians but their lives are not bearing fruit of it.

Freedom in Christ Galatians 3:1-29 Prayer- Introduction- Where’s your identity? That is the question that I asked a group that got together recently. Is your identity a passport?

Only In Christ Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 12, 2022

Progress became a secular god, a new form of hope for secular man in the 19th century, a progress that would lead to freedom. It was not to be.

Monday of 2nd Week in Lent The call of Jesus in Matthew, which we heard at Mass on Saturday, was to “be perfect, as the heavenly Father.” In Luke’s redaction we heard today, the call is to “be merciful, as the heavenly Father.” If we understand that the root meaning of perfection is ...read more

The Body Of Christ

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022

If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

“A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS. 1 Corinthians 15:19-26. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no gospel at all (1 Corinthians 15:12-13), and we are of all men most vain and miserable (1 Corinthians 15:14-19).

The Return Of Christ Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 24, 2022

When a believer dies, others are not to grieve like those who have no hope in Christ. But for believers we are grieving for ourselves and our loss, not for the person that died. This assurance believers have is because of the hope we have in Christ.

Do we know the exact time of the return of the Lord? Yes, we do! But didn’t Jesus say, “that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven” (Mathew 24:36). Yes, He did say that. Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more

The Mind Of Christ

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

A college boy was explaining the reason he flunked out in college was because he had a clinker in his thinker.

Did you know that about ninety-nine-and-nine-tenths of the problems that confront people is because they have that same problem--they have a clinker in their thinkers? We laugh this off as not being important, but God sees the way people think as being very important. Illus: We see this in the ...read more

In Christ (#2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

As we preach through Ephesians we find it is not a difficult book to UNDERSTAND.

Illus: Speaking of things DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND reminds me of the story of the man who was walking on the beach one day and he came across a bottle. He kicked it and a “Genie” came swooping out. The “Genie” thanked him for releasing him from the bottle and told the man he was so thankful that ...read more

The Deity Of Christ

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

Something we Christians have always taken for granted as we witnessed to the lost is the deity of Christ.

That is, as we talked to sinners we would take it for granted that they understood that Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph, but more important, that He is the DIVINE SON OF GOD. In past years very seldom have we come across anyone who did not believe this Biblical truth. However, this is ...read more

There are wooden crosses, metal crosses. Some are big, some are small. Some are plain, some are fancy. Cross necklaces are popular. But the cross is not just a decoration or a piece of jewelry. The cross of Christ represents so much more than that.
