A Properly Aligned Life

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Jan 9, 2019

God has a plan for every life. Many times we miss that plan by aspiring to be something different than what we were created for. This message encourages us to "Stay In Our Lane."

True Sight And Blindness Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Feb 4, 2019

This is the final segment of the this four part series exploring John 9. What does it mean to be spiritually blind?

As we conclude our examination of John 9, we begin to see the story is a lot more than just one where Jesus healed a man born blind. We begin to see that there are those who are spiritually blind even though they have 20/20 physical vision. We looked at the man who was born blind having his ...read more

Armor Of God

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Jul 24, 2021

We live our lives on a battlefield. We are constantly in battle against the devil and his fallen angels. But God had equipped us with the armor to protect ourselves and defend His name.

Armor of God “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:11) In this passage of Scripture, which we are going to study today, Paul tells us what we must wear to the war that we fight every day. You will notice there are six pieces ...read more

Staying The Course Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

We might presently feel like we’ve been fighting for our Promised Land a long time. Fighting will wear us out and lead to discouragement. Battle is not a pretty sight, and as we tire of spiritual confrontation, we might be tempted to give up.

Last week we saw how becoming tired of incessant battle can lead to becoming impatient and attempting to rush what God is wanting to do in His way and His timing. It can also lead a person to feeling defeated and abandoning the fight. David boldly declared in Psalm 119, “I will run the course of ...read more

Got Milk? - 1 Peter 1:23-2:3 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 7, 2024

You could read and memorize the entire Bible and not grow spiritually. This passage describes what must be added so that Scripture will bring growth.

Insatiable Craving Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: INSATIABLE CRAVING ILLUSTRATION: Can you believe that next year will mark 20-years since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans? We all saw the news stories—the DESTRUCTION, the DEATH TOLL, the HUMAN AGONY and MISERY. Hurricane Katrina is the COSTLIEST natural ...read more

Are You Fighting The Right Battles? By Pastor Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Jul 24, 2025

A Remedy For Wretchedness

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 28, 2015

Paul desperately wants to be delivered from the influence of indwelling sin. He struggles, as do we all, with his corrupt nature. Through Christ we overcome and make progress...yet the more we grow, the more in touch we are with our faults.

Do you ever feel like a hopeless mess? The Apostle Paul sure did. In Romans 7 he berates himself for his shortcomings: “What a wretched man I am!” Paul's problem was a serious condition. Sin enslaves; it takes over. Jeremiah writes that the human heart is “desperately ...read more
