Chase The Wind Or Stand On The Rock

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Oct 16, 2021

Audacious Faith

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 28, 2021

In Joshua's battle with the five kings, God performed 4 extraordinary miracles: supernatural endurance, confused their enemies, sent large hail on them, and stopped the sun. Joshua demonstrated audacious faith so God's will could be done!

Facing The Storm Of Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

In 1999, Hurricane Floyd appeared on the radar screen as it approached the shores of Florida. Governor Jeb Bush described it as a “Monster of a storm”, that was coming in their direction, and they really did not know how to deal with it.

One of the things that made this such a dreadful storm was that it had strong winds, and it was over three hundred miles wide. Florida was blessed, because it came up to the coast line and made a turn. When South Carolina was told to “Watch out”, because the storm was heading in their direction, ...read more

Beholding And Reflecting Our God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 13, 2021

After Moses had beheld God's glory on Mt. Sinai, he could not help but reflect God's glory. That is God's will and plan for us. We are supposed to behold God, become like God, then reflect God to others.

A. Our mission as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ is to behold and to reflect our God. 1. Let’s begin with two illustrations – one about beholding and the other about reflecting. B. We are all familiar with the saying: “You Are What You Eat.” 1. I like this meme: “They say you are ...read more

Seizing The Moment Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In order to walk in victory, we must daily devote ourselves and our time to seeking the Lord and His presence. We must learn to seize every minute and every second, and make the most of it for the Lord while living in the present moment.

When we start claiming new territory for the Lord, as in leading people to faith in Christ, we will more than likely have to fight some spiritual battles; and fighting can be tiresome. Fighting can leave us weary and discouraged wishing the conflict was at an end; wanting to slow down and enjoy ...read more

The Gates Must Be Opened Series

Fixed With Gold

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jan 16, 2022

This thought is a work in progress. I have been meditating on how the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold displays the gospel. I'm sure I will preach this thought again and better.

Fixed With Gold In our home there are a few dishes that are highly prized. They have value to us because of the giver. There are a couple of glasses that were gifts from my father-in-law to my mother-in-law. There are stories behind them. There is a candy dish Sister Burnett gave us recently. ...read more
