     | 1,388 views

    Sometimes God fights for us, and sometimes with us.

    A Unique Approach to Our Conflict After being wounded and captured during Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg, the Union captors sent Captain Benjamin Farinholt to the Federal prisoner-of-war camp on Johnson’s Island in Ohio. There he and his fellow prisoner John Latane devised a daring escape plan. ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing. It has been a blessing as well as a great help as I spend my days caring for my dying father. I kept some of the messages to share even after my Father passed way.

    We Were Made to Thrive Acts 20:22-25 Some think being a Christian means living a life as boring as watching paint dry and I’ve known some pretty boring Christians but it’s because they haven’t experienced the Christian life the way God intended it. God never intended for our ...read more

    Preparing For Perseverance

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 29, 2019
     | 7,505 views

    In the midst of a rapidly changing culture, with struggles unlike we've faced in the past, how do we overcome and remain vibrant in ministry? Paul answers these vital questions within the text. Those who overcome and remain passionate for the Lord must make necessary preparations.

    Preparing for Perseverance 2 Corinthians 4: 16-18 As we close out another year and stand on the verge of the New Year, no doubt this has been a memorable year for each of us. We have all faced difficulties and adversity, heartache and pain; and yet these struggles were tempered with grace and ...read more

    Going Into Battle Series

     | 15,788 views

    The spiritual world is real. Evil battles good. We need to go into battle only in God's power. And Paul uses armor to describe entering into fervent prayer.

    Going into Battle Ephesians 6:10-18 Sometimes Veterans will ask me, “If there is a God, how could he allow such evil to happen in the world? Why doesn’t he do something about it? Does he not care? Is he not strong enough?” I assure them that God does care and that he is strong enough. And that he ...read more

    Looking Toward Calvary Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 27, 2017
     | 7,013 views

    Often our spiritual vision is hindered by the desires of the flesh. We seek to serve the Lord, but often find a struggle with the flesh.

    Looking toward Calvary Mark 8: 31-33 At this point in Jesus’ ministry His popularity has diminished greatly, particularly among the devout Jews. He is about to enter a season of intense difficulty, culminating with the cross. From this moment forward, Jesus will be intent on enabling the ...read more

    The first of a study of Paul’s Trustworthy Sayings. This one helps us to gain a fuller understanding of God’s grace.

    INTRODUCTION. -- How many of you have ever bought something from a TV commercial? I’ve never been one to do this very much -- partly because I usually missed the type of commercials advertising products (getting a snack); and partly because the products were always too expensive.

    Showing the difference between the doctrine of salvation and rewards

    REWARDS Knowing that rewards will be given should make believers want to become a better and more productive Christian. There is a vast difference in the doctrine of salvation for the lost, and the doctrine of rewards for the saved. Salvation is “a free gift of God; you cannot earn it for ...read more

    The Prayer Of Healing

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Jul 30, 2025
     | 395 views

    There is a difference between the gift of healing and the prayer for healing.

    “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise ...read more

    A different kind of Lord’s Supper devotional.

    A TIME FOR EXAMINATION 1 Corinthians 11:28 INTRO: It is traditional in many churches to share the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the year. Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian Christians is especially appropriate as one begins a new year: “Let a man examine himself.” ...read more

    You’ll pray for spiritual strength for their times of weakness. You’ll pray spiritual eyes for their times of carelessness. You’ll pray spiritual love for their times of selfishness. And you’ll pray spiritual depth for their times of shallowness.

    Tomorrow is Memorial Day, a day set aside to remember those who have died in service of our nation. Many of you know of someone who died during their service in the military.

    Are You Dancing To Their Tune?

     | 4,150 views

    Many people want you to dance to their tune, to order your life according to their convictions and demands. Some of them are in the church. But the freedom that we have in Christ releases us from being slaves to the opinions of others, and even requires it.

    This morning, I’d like us to consider a passage of Scripture in which Jesus makes an astute observation about the social and religious culture of his day. It’s a fairly brief remark, but one that is full of significance for us today, because it gives us a perspective on how to react to criticism ...read more

    The Walking Dead

     | 19,728 views

    Christians are constantly coming in contact with the walking dead around us. Jesus talked about the walking dead when He spoke to the Pharisees about being dead inside. Jesus also warned the Laodicean Church that they were dead as well.

    The Walking Dead Last week I talked to yall about five signs that showed that we are spiritually alive. It’s good to be spiritually alive isn’t it? What about being spiritually dead? How much fun is that? How many of us remember when we were still spiritually dead? All of us at one time ...read more

    Peace Through Contentment Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 11, 2017
     | 11,533 views

    Although facing great adversity, Paul had learned to be content. The Lord had been faithful to provide the strength he needed to endure whatever trials or difficulties he faced. We too can learn contentment and receive strength for our trials.

    Peace through Contentment Philippians 4: 10-13 Our text today offers a compelling and intimate look within the heart of Paul. This letter to the Philippian church was penned from a Roman prison. Paul was bound, and unable to minister freely as he once did. The possibility of execution loomed each ...read more

    Driven To Denial Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 28, 2018
     | 4,601 views

    Although there were clear warnings, Peter ignored those and denied Jesus. We may tend to be critical, but we have been guilty of failing to heed the warnings of the Spirit. Warnings left unheeded are of no value.

    Driven to Denial Mark 14: 66-72 The long night of pain and suffering for Jesus had begun, and the difficulty continued to mount. He suffered in agony, praying under a heavy burden in the Garden of Gethsemane. After His prayer had ended, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, led a multitude, sent by ...read more
