Hypocrisy And Darkness

Contributed by Dennis King on Nov 17, 2021

This epistle delves into chapter six of Matthew. There he provides a first-hand report of Jesus speaking and His words cast Christian reflections against the dark shadows of hypocrisy.

As recorded by Luke in chapter 12, Jesus began to speak to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard ...read more

T'was The Day After Christmas

Contributed by David Killingsworth on Dec 1, 2021

This is a sermon in rhyme, in the style of the poem "T'was the Night Before Christmas."

T'was the day after Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stocking and trash had been flung without care; It looked like Hurricane Henri'd been there! The children, exhausted, were still in their beds, with visions of yesterday's gifts ...read more

The Authority Of His Church—forever Presence.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Dec 1, 2021

Road Signs Of Danger

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 7, 2021

Most of my preaching has to deal with what the scriptures tell us to do to DRAW NIGH TO GOD. But sometime it is important that God’s preachers preach on the warning of drifting from God. Leaving the Lord is not usually a thing one does overnight. It is a slow process.

I have called this sermon “ROAD SIGNS OF DANGER”, because the Christian life is similar to traveling down a road. Illus: Have you ever traveled down a road and you came to a road sign that indicated that a curve was ahead? Once you got to the curve, it was so sharp that you could almost see your ...read more

She Is Cut To Pieces!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

Often we hear disturbing things as we listen to the evening news. Sometimes the news we hear is so shocking that we are temporarily mesmerized by what we hear.

THE CONCUBINE WHAT IS A CONCUBINE? She was a secondary wife. In the Bible, most tribal chiefs, ...read more

Our Compassion And Our Consecration

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

It is believed by many that some of the best training for life that one receives at college is not in the classroom, but in the dormitories.

That is, there are some roommates that can teach you more about life in the dorm, than any college professor can teach you in a classroom. One thing they certainly can teach you a lot about is patience. When you have a roommate in the dorm: • When you want to study, he wants to play the radio • ...read more

Sermon On Subterfuge

Contributed by William Meakin on Feb 17, 2022

Subterfuge is defined as deceit used to achieve one's goal.

Antoine Rivarol, a French author of maxims, once remarked: “Wrong is wrong; no fallacy can hide it, no subterfuge cover it so shrewdly but that the All-Seeing One will discover and punish it.” Psalm 101:7 reminds us: “No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall ...read more

Two Kinds Of Wildernesses

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 24, 2022

Do you feel like you're in the wilderness with no way out? This message looks at two possible reasons why someone might wind up there, by examining both the “sin-driven wilderness” and “Spirit-driven wilderness.”

The wilderness is a place that captures the imagination and stirs the soul. Native Americans, for example, will journey into the wilderness on a vision quest; thrill seekers will flock to the mountains and remote places in search of adventure; those who are overworked will retreat there for peace ...read more
