    We live in a time when evil is sweeping our culture. Christians not anchored are being swept with it. We look at the Church’s duty to resist evil; what we’re to resist; and how we’re to resist it.

    IT’S TIME TO RESIST! 2 Cor. 10:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Over the Christmas break I heard about some ladies who were shopping non-stop for several days. 2. In one of the many parking lots, they ran into friends. One friend complimented the shop-a-holics on their new car and asked if it was ...read more

    Sermon illustrated by Chrismons: Jesus came at the right time, into a world of spiritual hungers, social unrest, devaluation of life. So He comes to our time, when ultimate questions are being asked, when much seduces us, when we are weak. He will be Lo

    Infants, not yet born, seem to have a mind of their own. Infants, not yet born, pay very little attention to the doctor’s predictions, the mother’s preferences, or the father’s fears. When they want to arrive, they arrive; and if they don’t want to emerge into this cold, cruel world, they don’t, ...read more

    Jesus commanded His disciples to "teach everything I have commanded you." But, what exactly does that entail?

    OPEN: Charles Paul Conn tells of the time when he lived in Atlanta. He noticed in the Yellow Pages, in the listing of restaurants, an entry for a place called Church of God Grill.

    Why We Are Here

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021
     | 4,295 views

    I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

    The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

    Mother’s Day Sermon: The Bible tells us about a woman, who from our perspective, was unfit, unprepared, and ill-equipped to be a mother, much less a good one. HER NAME WAS RAHAB AND SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE. RAHAB WAS AN UNLIKELY MOTHER. And, yet despite her

    Perhaps you’ve run into some difficulties recently: your boss, an illness, conflicts in family. You’ve pleaded with the Lord for relief. But He may have said in response, “Toughen up. Dig in. It may get worse.” And then He asks you to “run with horses."

    Opening illustration: Can you imagine what it would be like to be at a track meet waiting for the start of the 100 meter race? Gathered together are the top runners from across the world. Fractions of a second separate these runners. While the marathon is a test of stamina and endurance, the 100 ...read more
