     | 10,672 views

    This ’outside the box’ Mother’s Day sermon honors moms, but it also speaks of Father God and Israel, and we can apply some great truths to mothering in America today, which is one of the greatest challenges of all of human history.

    Positively Peculiar

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Jun 3, 2010
     | 4,740 views

    When we think of the word peculiar, we usually think of it in the adjective form: odd, different, distinctive but it is not about how we dress, act, or speak (although these things should be different). But the word translated from the Greek means somethi

    Introduction 1 Peter 2:9-10 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: ...read more

    If you want God to use you to powerfully communicate His message to hard people in hard times, eat God’s Word. speak God’s Word, follow God’s Spirit, and warn God’s people.

    Our former district superintendent, Bill Smith, recalls preaching part-time in a small local church while he was still studying for the ministry. Six months passed and none of his professors had come to hear him. Finally, his faculty advisor agreed to attend one Sunday. After the service, the ...read more

     | 3,018 views

    We serve the Lord faithfully, always looking up to the God who leads us, trusting Christ who alone saves, and relying on the Holy Spirit to transform lives.

    2 Cor 2:12-3:6 KEEPING THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE IN MINISTRY Paul arrives at Macedonia from Troas, not in the best of spirits, saying “his spirit was not at rest.” (13) • He was troubled by the painful letter he has written to the church in Corinth, and now awaiting for Titus to return with an ...read more

    Not Just For Sundays Anymore Series

    Contributed by Brian Vickers on Oct 26, 2022
     | 2,259 views

    Many in the church grew up with "Sunday only" forms of discipleship that were confined to the local church setting. But discipleship isn't just for Sundays.

    For all my growing up and young adult years we equated the idea of discipleship with one thing: Sunday School. That meant that people came together on Sunday mornings, sat in classes mostly segregated by age groups, and learned about the Bible. Like we said a few weeks back, it was a Sunday thing. ...read more

    These Are The Days Of Elijah

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,567 views

    Jesus seems to speak about two comings of Elijah, one that lies in the future “to restore all things” and another in their immediate past concerning John the Baptist, who would call the nation to repentance. Those days are here again!

    1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 1Ki 18:17 ¶ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, ...read more

    I think it’s safe to say that the majority of us want to become everything God wants us to be, the problem is that we fall short of God’s perfect plan for our lives. Too often we take matters into our own hands and mess up God’s plan for us. We end up set

    Practising Worship (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 15, 2017
     | 7,564 views

    Though we speak of worship, I suspect that few of us worship. Perhaps we are uncertain of Whom we should seek or what we should do when we have found Him. This Psalm addresses those issues.

    “Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters. The voice of the LORD ...read more

    There are times when we too may have to face the malice of people, who turn against us and speak ill of us. Don’t lose heart, because the Lord who watches is aware of everything and He is a God of justice.

    Psalm 91:15, “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.” (AFV) In continuation with this series of Psalm 91, let us study the life of another man whom God honored, though it seemed that everything was against him.

    Nit Pickers And Drop Givers

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Jul 6, 2013
     | 3,145 views

    The love we sow is the love we will reap. One of the marks of the church is the love which members show to one another, We are called to love one another as Christ loves us, and Paul speaks to this in his letter to the church at Galatia.

    As Christians, we are called- even commanded- to love one another as Christ loves us. This is a daunting task, but it is also the seed we must sow. The good news is that we can do it- if we become new creations in Christ, we can show His love to others in meaningful and concrete ways. This morning, ...read more

     | 6,003 views

    Some people think it,s better to just sleep through life. The whole world changes when we do, so GOD says, "WAKE UP!"

    “Walking Up the Sleepyheads” Text: Romans, Chapter 13 I love to sleep! What I mean is I LOVE to sleep! But sometimes, I sleep too much—or I’m asleep at the wrong times, when I should be accomplishing something. Sleep is a natural function of our bodies and we all need a certain amount of ...read more

    Is There No God In Israel? Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 16, 2025
     | 293 views

    God still speaks. His prophets are still available. His Spirit still leads. But will we listen? Or will we, like Ahab and Ahaziah, choose voices that entertain but cannot save? Let us always remember—there IS a God in Israel.

    IS THERE NO GOD IN ISRAEL? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 22:1-8, 2 Kings 1:1-3 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-7; Jeremiah 2:13; Isaiah 30:1-2; James 1:5; Psalm 20:7 INTRODUCTION: In the days of Israel’s monarchy, God made Himself available to guide, instruct, and protect His people ...read more

    Nicodemus. The first three verses of this chapter contain a surprising exchange between Nicodemus and Jesus. It is almost as if they are having completely different conversations. What is this all leading up to???
