Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jun 21, 2019

Around here, I really don’t use my GPS a lot. It is hard to get lost going from Magnolia to McComb or Magnolia to Hammond. But when Anne and I went to Nashville about a month ago, we didn’t turn off our GPS.

How To Be A Successful Nobody

Contributed by John Gaston on May 5, 2021

This is a rewrite of Glenn Pease's fine message. It talks about many of the un-named people in the Bible who played such big roles in the events of the New Testament. We think of ourselves as nobodys, but that's not what Heaven thinks! You have a lot to give.

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL NOBODY John 6:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHY LIFE IS CONFUSING TO MANY 1. A librarian commented concerning a woman just leaving her desk that she could get more out of a mystery novel than anyone she knew. "How is that?" asked her co-worker. 2. She replied, ...read more

Get Your Armour On

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Mar 20, 2020

The word of God has a lot to say about how we can defend ourselves against the attacks of the enemy. It’s my goal today as your pastor, to equip you with information that can protect you against the spiritual onslaught of the enemy and prepare you for spiritual war.

Ephesians 6:10-18 Our country and our communities are living through a very difficult time right now. It’s time for the church to be the church. It’s time for us to get our arms around our community, show them God’s love, and offer them hope. Today we will talk about getting our armor on. The ...read more

A Christian's Response During Covid19 Series

Contributed by Billy Paul on Apr 15, 2020

"When you are called to pray, don't act; And, when you are called to act, don't pray." At a time when our neighbours are groping in the dark, it is time Christians carry their lamp outside. Yes, with a lot of prayer backup too!

It wouldn’t be an understatement to say my recent video message (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXVol_ke76M) has created some stir within the protestant community in India. It was a short and simple message on how Christians across the globe can be a light in a world which is groping in the dark ...read more

The Need Of The Church Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2020

If you sat down and asked what does the church need today, what would be your answer? A lot of times we think of the material things, but God is more interested in the people that make up the church. What are the needs of the people? I hope to answer that question for us all.

The 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation, tell us of real churches in real places. These churches also are representative of different ages of church history. The Laodicean church is a description of this church age. The church that is neither cold nor hot. A church that was rich and said it had need ...read more

On Justice - Biblical Foundations

Contributed by Byron Harvey on Jul 21, 2020

There is a lot of talk about "justice" these days--and rightly so--but "not everybody talkin' 'bout justice knows what they're talkin' 'bout". What does the Bible say about justice?

“These people? They honor God with their lips, but the truth is, their hearts are far from Him.” These are the words of Isaiah the prophet and Jesus the Messiah—and they describe the people to whom Micah speaks. Last week, as we began a short series entitled "For the City" from Micah, ...read more

The Well, The Women, And The Wait Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 18, 2025

We all have unsettled issues in our hearts. Some want to put a lot of time and distance between these unresolved issues, even a change of scenery, which may be necessary to get some clarity. I believe God wants us to identify these issues and work through them.

The Well, the Women, and the Wait Genesis 29:1-30 16 Feb 2025 Last week, Scott spoke from Genesis 28 where Jacob was running from his brother Esau who was planning to kill him because he took the family blessing and inheritance that he was expecting to get.

Speaking Blessings

Contributed by Val Black on Feb 3, 2022

God bless you! We hear that a lot, especially when we have a cold or hay fever. We take it for granted today but there is much more to it than knowing someone cares enough for you to speak those words. There are REAL blessings that prove there is power in the words we choose.

A Place Of Service Part 2

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Oct 2, 2008

My Job as a Pastor is to serve others. God uses me a lot by giving me dreams. Some Pastors are afraid to talk about dreams that come from God. If a young lady would not have heard me talking about dreams her mom might have went to Hell.

"Stuff!"

Contributed by J. Curtis Goforth, O.s.l. on Oct 16, 2006

Mark’s gospel tells the story of a man who cannot follow after Jesus because of his "many possessions." Although this man is typically known as rich, Mark tells us he just has a lot of stuff--much like us! Jesus re-defines riches here.

“That’s Where I Keep All My Stuff” Sermon on Mark 10:17-31 Pentecost +19-B October 15, 2006 Rev. J. Curtis Goforth, O.S.L.

Now That You Understand

Contributed by Dean Shriver on Jun 1, 2006

Jesus Weeps Series

Contributed by Roger Thomas on Feb 21, 2007
