Being A Godly Father Of Encouagement

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jun 18, 2021

As men of Christ we are to live moral and virtuous lives based on Scriptural principles and to be a light of encouragement. And The result will not only be the renewal of our own lives; It will bring renewal to our families, to our churches, to our community and ultimately to our world.

Someone noticed ... that the word "father" appears in the dictionary ... just before the word ... "fatigued" ...and just after the word ... "fathead." So, ... to all of us fatigued, ... fathead fathers, ......Happy Father's Day! (Long Pause) Today is ...read more

Show Love, Not Favoritism (James 2:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 27, 2022

Favoritism is a tricky thing. But we need to copy God's example, in honoring the poor. Also, my first crack at unpacking "kingdom" in light of Scot McKnight's book Kingdom Conspiracy.

Let's start today by reading James 2:1-4: (1) My brothers, don't, with partiality, hold the faith of our glorious Lord, Jesus Christ. ["w/partiality" =focused] (2) For suppose someone should enter your assembly with a gold ring on his finger, with fine clothing. Now, also a ...read more

Seek The Old Paths

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 16, 2022

Often there is the desire in the church today to move forward to something so-called better. Some churches even now have giant screens light the auditorium with the message #Jesusisthebomb and you could win a set of ear pods after service.

Seek the Old Paths By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. SCRIPTURE:- Jeremiah 6:16 says, “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.

Sermon # 7 - Time To Stop Murmuring Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 21, 2023

Do we find ourselves complaining and murmuring about many things? Why do we do so, and how can we stop doing this? This sermon will help us examine ourselves in the light of God’s word.

If we as a church today desire to resemble the early church, and if our aspiration is that people should be added in great numbers, then it is only appropriate that we not only evaluate ourselves in the light of God’s word, but also investigate to see what the early church did differently that made ...read more

Living With The End In Mind Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 16, 2022

Paul brought in the dimension of time and urges the believers to "wake up, clean up, and dress up" in the light of the nearness of Jesus' return. Let us live with this end in mind and watch what we leave behind.

Paul has been addressing the conduct of Christians since the start of Rom 12. • It is the life of those who have believed the Gospel that he laid out in Rom 1-11. • The right belief will lead to the right conduct. As followers of Christ living in a paganistic society like Rome, the readers’ ...read more

A Crown Jewel Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

When searching for a lost coin (lost person) the Lord gets to work! He lights a lamp and sweeps the house, like using a fine-tooth comb. The lost coin is like a jewel in a wedding headdress. We are to Jesus as a crown jewel!

I wish to begin our message by first reading through tonight’s parable, and then we’ll take a closer look after I share a brief introduction. Let’s all stand at this time in honor of the reading of God’s Word: 8 What woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, ...read more

My God In Whom I Trust Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 22, 2020

We cannot trust a person until we know him or her. It is the same with God. How well do you know God? This study will throw more light on knowing and trusting God through all the situations of our life.

The Psalmist says in Psalm 91:2, “I will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust."” (GW) For those of us who were born and brought up in Christian homes, Psalm 91 is a familiar one, which many of us may have read or even memorized as a child. ...read more

15 The First Death Wish Series

Contributed by Michael Collins on Oct 29, 2020

This is the 15th of 31 devotions from a series called, 'The Church Called Jonah.' In these devotions, which are based on the book of Jonah, I make a comparison between The Church-at-large in the light of this present global pandemic.

# 15 – The First Death Wish Jonah 1:12: “And he said to them, ‘Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you.
