Ask In Faith—could This Be A Test?

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 28, 2020

James was a half brother to Jesus. However, having Jesus as his half brother wasn’t nearly as important as having Jesus as his Savior. In others words, to James, the blood on the cross that saved him was far more important than the family blood in his veins.

Ask In Faith—Could This Be A Test? James 1:1-8NKJV Developing maturity in the Christian life is the theme of the book of James. As we examine the book of James we can anticipate maturity also spiritual growth. James 1:1NKJV James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the ...read more

God's Love - What? Why? How?

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Dec 30, 2019

What makes God's love so amazing is the who he loves, the why he loves and the how he loves. His is a love that is truly unparalleled throughout the world.

What does love look like? You might think of a couple on their wedding day committing themselves to one another for the remainder of their lives. Or the couple celebrating a milestone anniversary, reflecting upon the many experiences that they’ve shared with each other. That’s love. You might ...read more

Saying The Same Thing

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jan 18, 2020

How do we deal with the Babel of people teaching in the church?

Saying the Same Thing 1 Corinthians 1:11-18 If there is anything that plagues the church today, it is the myriad of voices spouting all sort of “Christian” teachings.

The Missing Link In Understanding Leadership In The Church

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jun 4, 2020

Many in our community find it difficult to understand that a Christian leader serves those that he leads differently from the world concept.

Today, in our world, the most important subject hardly discussed among believers is the reign and the governing rule of Christians with Christ in the present dispensation and the future to come.  In fact, a good number of believers shy away, not wanting the hot seat of talking about the role ...read more

The Cat's In The Cradle - Father's Day 2020

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 21, 2020

Many of us, as Christians, grow up with a "blind spot" just like the Dad in "The Cat's In The Cradle" song. Are we failing to build spiritual relationships just as the Dad in the song failed to build a real Father-Son relationship?

The Cat’s In The Cradle Today we will be reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Today is Father’s Day. To me it is a confusing day but at the same time it makes sense. It makes sense because a Biblical father is what God planed for the human family. A father who provides for the needs of the ...read more

How's Our Faith?

Contributed by Paul Norwood on May 7, 2018

As summer approaches, we get check-ups on our home and car air conditioning systems but perhaps we need a "faith" check up. The question in the sermon title is asked rhetorically and then we examine Peter's faith (along with ours) from Luke 22:31-34.

I. Welcome II. Introduction With blooms everywhere and temperatures in the 80’s, we know summer is just around the corner. As school lets out and the temperatures push higher, there are certain things that might need some attention. I know I’ve already had my home A/C checked and, before taking a ...read more

Of Thermometer And Thermostat

Contributed by Suresh Manoharan on May 28, 2018

With temperatures varying depending upon the weather outside, two like-sounding instruments come to our mind instinctively-thermometer and thermostat. Yours Truly in the midst of "sweltering Indian summer" has woven some spiritual truths around these two.

Of Thermometer and Thermostat Believers’ In every sweltering summer the temperatures soar. With mercury on the rise, oh how our tongues crave for that cool “elixir of life” (read pot or fridge water)! By the same token in chilly winter, the warm clothing shunned in summer now appears ...read more
