King Asa … His Faithfulness And Foolishness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age.

Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations. While much of the Old Testament did deal with Israel and the ceremonial laws that were given to them, a great deal of ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles # 27 - 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In this portion of Scripture, we have the opportunity to travel with Paul while he is at Ephesus.

The Joy Of Giving

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 12, 2022

The only way money can buy happiness is when you give it away. How can we do that and why does God think that we need to learn that practice in our lives?

(This sermon series is based on a book by Randy Alcorn entitled "The Treasure Principle) OPEN: Years ago, there was a comedian named Joan Rivers that said: “People say that money isn’t the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.” A ...read more

Jesus - Our Good Shepherd

Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Jan 8, 2020

There is no denying the fact that ...read more

Don't Bury It Yet

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jan 13, 2020

There are times when there seems to be a disconnect between our walk with God and the outcome of our prayers. Sometimes circumstances can seem to contradict the fact that God is watching over our lives and guiding its events for our good.

TITLE: DON’T BURY IT YET SCRIPTURE: II KINGS 4:8-37 A common precursor among new preachers when they want to preach about faith is to ask the congregation - “how many of you have faith?” • The question actually doesn’t make sense because there is no such thing as “people who have faith” and ...read more
