    "I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live."

    Don’t Ignore the Bible In the chapter of 1 Samuel 15 we read that King Saul of Israel receives a Word from God to destroy the entire Amalekite nation, including women and children. The Amalekite people were like terrorists to the young Israelite nation as they escaped Egypt. (Exodus 17:8; ...read more

    The purpose of this passage is to show us that somethings belong to God. They are His. At minimum, 10% of what God gives to us should be returned to Him in thanks and as part of our worship. God doesn't want your leftovers.

    Mordecai and Esther’s coziness became challenged when Haman ordered the eradication of the Jews. The time had come for them to stand up and speak out for God. Are we willing to stand up and speak out for what is right? Maybe we have been put where we are for such a time as this!

    King Saul started well, but ultimately shipwrecked his faith. God's Word is given to us so that we may learn and avoid the pitfalls of the enemy.

    Slipping by Degrees Text: 1 Samuel 13:5-14, 1 Samuel 15:1-35 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING One of the saddest things to see, at least to me, is someone who - by all appearances seemed to be a Christian, fall into sin and apostasy. Not let me make that clear… I said, someone who “seemed” to ...read more

    We look at the fall of King Saul. We see how he rationalized his sins by selective obedience, shifting blame, and subterfuge. Then we study the true nature of obedience and end with an enlightening story.

    God has given us different talents because God has different jobs for each of us to do.

    Most of us understand that, but what many do not seem to understand is what God has called them to do and equipped them to do, HE EXPECTS THEM TO DO! Our desire should be as Christ's. He said in John 4:34, "...My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." ...read more

    Obedience, Not Sacrifice

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

     | 4,015 views

    Disobedience is an extremely costly sin. God desires our obedience over our sacrifice. If we are trying to worship and we have been disobedient to the Lord, then He won’t accept our worship until we make our life right with Him.

    This morning we’re going to discuss the sin of disobedience to God’s commands. Disobedience is an extremely costly sin; for we know that when the Israelites were on their exodus from Egypt that they refused to follow God’s plan for taking the Promised Land, and the consequence was spending forty ...read more

    The Rev. Billy Graham tells of a time early in his ministry when he arrived in a small town to preach a sermon. Desiring to mail a letter, he asked a young boy where the post office was.

    When the boy had told him, Dr. Graham thanked him and said, "If you'll come to the Church meeting this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to Heaven." The boy said to Dr. Graham, I do not think I'll be there. If you do not know the way to the post office, how are ...read more
