    Be Ready For Persecution

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 535 views

    When facing persecution, Jesus' disciples (believers) must have endurance and wisdom, be certain to look like Jesus, preach the Word fearlessly, and trust that God is in control. What have we to fear when our life is in His hands?

    I would like to open with an illustration from the book Jesus Freaks: Jaun and his wife Maria felt God calling them to become missionaries in Columbia. Once, while travelling between villages, Jaun met about fifty armed guerillas. He took the opportunity to share the gospel with them, and twenty ...read more

    Our motives are the underlying reason for any action we take.

    That is, our motives are what MOTIVATE us to do the things we do. But there are two kinds of MOTIVES: (1) Good motives (2) Bad motives Motives matter and they matter to God.

     | 582 views

    This sermon warns against placing our trust in human leaders, reputation, or spiritual gifts, reminding us that true holiness and steadfast faith can only be found by fixing our eyes on Christ alone and walking in humble obedience through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    Misplaced Trust and the God who Never Fails Matthew 23:1-10; Acts 8:14-23; 3 John 1:9-10; 1 Samuel 8:1-7; Luke 22:31-34 To be “holy in all you do” (1 Peter 1:15) is no light command—it’s a high calling that reaches into every corner of our lives. In the Old Testament alone, Israel was given 613 ...read more

    Elevate To The Next Level - "The People God Uses”

    One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.

    This do in Remembrance of Me is more than a mental snapshot of something that happed in the past. It is more than a sentimental emotion that places a smile on your face or causes you to perform a ritual out of tradition, but true remembrance affects every aspect of our senses.

    Discerning Between Voices Series

     | 1,075 views

    This sermon addresses the importance of discerning between God’s voice, the enemy’s deceptions, and our own thoughts. It focuses on how to develop spiritual discernment and identify the voice of truth in a world full of competing messages.

    In a world filled with countless voices, messages, and influences, one of the greatest challenges we face as believers is discerning which voice is truly from God. Every day, we are bombarded with information—from the media, our culture, and even our own inner thoughts—that competes for our ...read more

    When God’s people testify to what God has done, others are invited to witness and respond.

    Introduction Last week, we began considering the relationship between praise and thanks and how we are called in this Psalm to verbalize or express our gratitude. That expression should include some discussion of God’s attributes and the affect that he has on us, on creation, and even on his ...read more

    The theodicy often centers on the question: If God is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, why does evil exist? Theodicy seeks to reconcile the existence of a good God with the reality of suffering and injustice in the world.
