Pentecost 2018

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 30, 2018

When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives is there a radical change? Should there be a radical change? Is there a difference when the Holy Spirit infills and directs a church and when He does not? Let's see what the Bible says!

Why You Shouldn’t Speak In Tongues

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017

The arguments against speaking in tongues today, if applied to other Bible doctrines, would have all orthodox Bible believers crying foul. The truth is, these arguments are not true to the Scriptures or Early Church experience, and should be rejected.

WHY YOU SHOULDN’T SPEAK IN TONGUES INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’re on our way somewhere! Not just to a normal place like the grocery store or to the bank. We’re on our way to heaven! 2. Have you ever been up a really tall building? A small boy, with his father, was in an elevator going up the ...read more

What Does Easter Mean To Me?

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Apr 16, 2022

Some say that Easter is a pagan holiday and should not be celebrated by Christians. The truth is, I never have celebrated the day. I celebrate that because Jesus got up from the dead, I can live also.

What does Easter mean to me? First of all, let's see what it means to the world. To the world Easter means money. Because the world turns everything  into a selling point. To the world Easter is about commercial gain. When you walk into the store around Easter, the whole stock changes. ...read more

Thermometer Or Thermostat: Which Are You?

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 9, 2022

A thermometer tells how hot or cold something or someone is. It doesn’t try to change its environment. A thermostat, on the other hand, alters the temperature. Christians should be thermostats, changing their neighborhoods, families, work, etc.

THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT: WHICH ARE YOU? Mt. 5:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Pastor told one of his faithful church members, “Mrs. Smith, I appreciate your devotion. You are present at all the services!” 2. Mrs. Smith: “Yes, it’s such a relief, at the end of a long, hard week, to come to ...read more

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 13, 2022

Defined By Your Job?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Making work our priority can become a problem in our relationship with God and with our family. It can also develop into an issue with our self-worth should we ever experience problems in the workplace or the loss of a job.

The Rumor Weed

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Rumors and gossip are things we should avoid at all cost, because the information we spread can be destructive to those individuals when shared with others. Our God is not in the business of tearing down lives, but restoring them.

I’ve entitled our message for this morning “The Rumor Weed,” based on a Veggie Tale’s song. On one episode of Veggie Tales, Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learned just how easily rumors can get started when they accidentally launched a whopper of a tale about Larry-Boy’s butler, Alfred, being a ...read more

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 5, 2022

Only God will satisfy those who thirst spiritually. The time to respond to God’s invitation is now. Barren lands will be transformed and the trees will clap their hands. You should seek the Lord while He may be found.

I have a vivid memory of temperatures of 100 degrees with high humidity. We were spending the hot summer days of high school in full football pads doing wind sprints and all sorts of drills.

Emitting The Fragrance Of Life

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

Believers should serve as the aromatherapy of life to the world, emitting the grace-filled fragrance of life in Christ. Those who have received life and salvation in Jesus must be willing to share that life with others in both word and deed.

Breath Prayer

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 9, 2021

Breath prayer is a form of prayer that is invading the progressive church. Is it Biblical? Is it what God desires? Where did it come from? Should we make it a part of our devotional practices? May the Lord give us discernment.

Breath Prayer Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The World’s Most Dangerous Profession - James 3:1-2 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021

This passage stands out because teaching is so highly valued throughout the New Testament. Why is it discouraged here? James considered himself a teacher and was teaching even as he penned these words about not many should be teachers.

James 3:1 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. Introduction: We Talk a ...read more
