The Beginning Of The End Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The first lesson we learn from this last book of the Bible is from the author. We learn that every year of our lives should be a year of labor for the Lord, and a year of expectation that He will use us for His purpose. The rest of life can be the best of life is to be our motto at any age.

The Apostle John is the patron saint of everybody, for he is the hero of young and old alike. Jesus called him to be His disciple when he was likely in his late teens. He was the youngest of the 12, and is an example of the faith that Christ had in young people. John also lived the longest of the ...read more

The Capital Of Hell Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

I want to call your attention to the fact that Jesus says in verse 13 that the throne of Satan was in that city. He ends the verse by saying Satan lives there. So here is the city where Satan lives, and where he has his throne. This is none other than the capital of hell.

Is there any truth to the popular idea that hell is right here on earth? There were a lot of Minnesotans who believed it in Jan. of 1873. The morning of the 8th was beautiful and the snow was melting. Masses of people made plans to travel, visit, and shop. But about 4 in the afternoon the wind ...read more

Lesson 32. In Physical Needs (James 5:14-15) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2021

I will attempt to show from 1 Corinthians 12:9[1] and 28[2] and Galatians 3:5[3] that gifts of healings were intended for the church in Paul’s day and our day. However, the New Testament does not talk about THE gift of healing.

Lesson Text – James 5:14-15 (NKJV) 14. 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. 15. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he ...read more

Out Of The Depths I Cried

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jun 28, 2020

Discouragement is part of life. Discouragement comes most often when you do right things but experience poor results. You work hard, but you don't make progress. You have expectations and goals and they don’t come to pass. You seek change and yet nothing changes.

What Makes The Church Run? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2020

What make a church successful? Is it lots of money? A great preacher? Great outreach programs and internal programming? Oddly enough, the early church didn't have that - and yet they turned the world upside down. What did the early church have that made the difference?

Flip Wilson was a popular black comedian several years ago, and among the routines he did were skits about a Preacher at the “What’s Happening Now Church.” One of his skits went like this: He’d shout out: "If this church is going to serve God it’s got to get down on its knees and crawl!!!” ...read more

Your Destiny Awaits Your Arrival

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Feb 14, 2020
