How many of you know the meaning of these letters used to describe a sporting event: MMA? (Mix Martial Arts). It’s kind of like boxing where the contestants not only hit each other with their fists, but also with their feet and knees and elbows. It’s also called “Cage ...read more

When God Changes A Bigot’s Heart Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Aug 9, 2015

God's plan was always to reach the world. Yet by Acts 10, the Gospel had gone no further than Jews & a few Samaritans. Why? racism & bigotry. In Acts 10, God changed all that in the story of Cornelius, leading to a dramatic salvation that changed history.

Sermon # 33 - God's Unchanging Laws Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 31, 2023

We are indeed saved by grace, but does that mean that the laws of God given in the Old Testament are no longer applicable to us? God’s word gives us clarity, and helps us to understand how God’s grace and God’s laws apply to us today.

In Romans 3:31, Paul writes, “Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.” (GNB) There is a lot of teaching on the grace of God and faith that we must place in Him. Grace and faith are fundamental for our walk with God, but it is important ...read more

What God Wants

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Sep 24, 2023

Living the Christian life is so much more than what you do, it literally has nothing to do with the amount of money you sow, how many religious books you buy, which ministries you support it’s more than reading the bible, praying, and going to church.

Taking Authority Over Your Words Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 8, 2023
