    Watch Your Step Series

    Often we Christians believe that we are so insulated against evil that we do not need to be isolated from evil. Everything the Bible says is opposed to such a view. The people and the activities we are involved with can hurt us and cause us to fall.

    PROVERBS 4:10-19 WATCH YOUR STEP [Jude 24, 25] A sign on the entrance to the IRS office read, "Watch your step." A sign on the exit read, "Watch your language." Two good pieces of advice! The first warning is especially appropriate, for as we walk through life, it is easy to stumble and ...read more

    We seek to improve areas in our lives. Our spiritual improvement is key. We must "wake up" and "dress up" in our walk with God.

    1. Improvements • A young wife said to her husband, "Don’t forget to bring home another mousetrap." Her husband said, "What’s the matter with the one I bought yesterday?" She said, "IT’S FULL." • A woman walked into her bathroom at home. As she did, she saw her husband ...read more

    Luke did not mention the collection in connection with the journey to Jerusalem, which Romans 15:25-28 clearly indicates was undertaken to deliver the gift. Why is Acts silent on the subject? Was there ultimately some problem with the collection?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,909 views

    The phrase "Awaken Church to Your Purpose!" is a compelling call to action that confidently urges the church—believers united—to recognize, embrace, and actively engage in its divine mission to reach out and bring hope to those who are lost.

    Satan is never too busy to rock the cradle of a sleeping Christian. In light of these last days let’s examine why!

    Introduction In these last days, Satan is working over time because he is on borrowed time! He knows if he is to be successful he must look ahead and peer into the possible future of our little ones. They are his target. He has used this generation long enough. He’s looking ahead. Let’s examine ...read more

    In the church there are a lot of Rip Van Winkle Christians--who go to sleep not long after they made the decision to follow Christ.

    Ephesians 5:8-14 INTRODUCTION: How many have heard the statement, “They are as different as day and night.”? Paul is using this same kind of contrast between darkness and light when he is speaking of the old life without Christ as compared to the new life in Christ. In this scripture Paul is ...read more

    O Grave, Where Is Your Victory?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 24, 2025
     | 106 views

    In Christ, death is sleep; resurrection at His coming grants immortality; hope rests on Jesus’ victory, not inherent human immortality.

    Introduction Picture a quiet country cemetery just before sunrise. Mist curls low among the stones. The dew is heavy, the birds only beginning to stir. Nothing seems more final than that stillness. Yet the Christian confession dares to speak right into that silence: “O death, where is thy ...read more

    When Morning Comes

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025
     | 61 views

    Hope for Those Who Sleep in Christ. Death for the believer is not an ending but a pause— until resurrection morning awakens every promise.

    There are few sounds on earth more sacred than quiet weeping at a graveside. A mother pressing a flower into the soil, a husband lingering after everyone else has gone, a child holding onto the edge of a coffin too big for her small hands. In moments like these, the air feels thinner—heaven seems ...read more

    "Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare. Proverbs 20:13 NIV.

    The text we read, was spoken by Malachi to Israel, a defeated nation. Malachi was God’s last mouthpiece to Israel before the four hundred years of God’s silence to his people. It is a shame that any people should lower themselves so much that they would put God last in their lives, and ...read more

     | 47 views

    Death is sacred sleep in Christ; counterfeit awakenings deceive, but the true resurrection will come when Jesus calls every sleeper by name.

    There are certain moments in life that are so quiet, so still, so unexpectedly tender that they seem to slow the entire world. Not dramatic moments. Not tragic ones. Just the moments when evening settles over the house and everything finally stops moving. When the phone stops buzzing. When the ...read more
