The Testimony Of An Empty Tomb

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Mar 28, 2016

There is a tomb in a distant land with silent walls as well. If that tomb could speak to us what would it say? What would it tell us of the terrible – tragic – thrillingly triumphant events that transpired there some two thousand years ago?

A Ruler Called Peace

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 18, 2021

Christmas: Prophecy is "encouraging" when it speaks of future blessing. The fulfillment of prophecy can "increase our faith." This messianic prophecy will both encourage us and strengthen our faith in God's love for the world.

This morning, we’re going to examine a passage from the book of Micah that relates to the Christmas season; and I’ve entitled our message, “A Ruler Called Peace.” “Micah [prophesied] during the reigns of four kings in Israel and three kings in Judah.

Four Steps To Bearing Fruit

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

The Hope That Holds Us Series

Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Nov 26, 2025

The first candle of Advent is the Candle of Hope—a small flame that speaks into the long darkness of a weary world. Hope does not deny reality; it defies it. It does not ignore the brokenness around us; it simply believes God is greater than the brokenness.

Just Say A Word And I Shall Be Well

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 1, 2025

He understood something many believers fail to grasp. He knew that distance does not limit Jesus. Physical presence is not required for a miracle. Location does not weaken divine authority. If Jesus would only speak, the sickness had no choice but to surrender.

Just Say a Word and I Shall Be Well INTRODUCTION There comes a moment in every believer’s life when human effort reaches its limit. When the connections you trusted cannot help you, when the strength you relied on is insufficient, when the people you expected to stand with you cannot ...read more
