    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on May 18, 2022
     | 1,523 views

    Consider stealing the 8th commandment? Have you ever stole something from God? The battle is not yours! Stand still and see... PRAISE AND WORSHIP WILL ALWAYS WIN... Don't steal.

    STEALING? THE BATTLE? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I have a jar of peanut butter, a spoon and a few pieces of bread sitting on a table. *STEAL: TO TAKE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT YOURS WITHOUT PERMISSION OR A LEGAL RIGHT.

    Meaningful And Meaningless Worship Series

    This sermon focuses on Solomon's somewhat cynical view of Temple worshipers along with his corrective: to "stand in awe of God" and how it applies to our modern day church services.

    I would like to open today’s sermon with a question. Why do we even bother to go to church? I imagine if I was to ask everybody, I would probably get different answers. I think some go out of tradition. Some go because they are feeling pressure from a spouse. Others might be feeling a sense ...read more

    Mountaintop Vision Of Jesus

     | 2,609 views

    Jesus doesn’t stand in a long line of peers with Abraham, Buddha, Confucius, Krishna, or Mohammed. Jesus Christ is utterly unique. The Transfiguration reveals a turning point in human history, the coming of the Savior of the world!

    MOUNTAINTOP VISION OF JESUS Lk. 9:28-36 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. There was a man whose wife refused to admit she had hearing problem. He asked his doctor, "How can I get my wife to admit that she’s hard of hearing?" 2. The doctor said, "When you get home tonight, stand just ...read more

    Saved By Faith Alone! Really??? Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 27, 2021
     | 2,142 views

    Could it really be that works have nothing to do with gaining a right-standing with God? Don't good people who do good works get to Heaven. The Apostle Paul has an answer.

    I’ve entitled my message this morning “Saved by Faith Alone! Really???” because shockingly that’s precisely the attitude of most self-described Christians in America today. An October 2020 survey of self-described Christians in America by Arizona Christian University revealed the 52% of ...read more

     | 2,635 views

    The allegory of light and darkness is used widely in the bible. What does it signify? Are we walking in the light or still stumbling in the dark? This sermon will sure help us evaluate ourselves to see where we stand.

    As we continue our study this topic of ‘Freedom from Bondage’ we recognize that it is indeed the will of God that His people should be liberated from every sin and bondage. In this chapter we will study the metaphor of light and darkness, which is widely used in the Bible to explain this concept of ...read more

    When trials come, the Fourth Man in the fire will appear, to show us that He cares, to turn our situation around with a miracle, and to honor our stand for Him. This message ends with a great story of boldness.

    MEETING GOD IN THE FIRE Dan. 3:1-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Some can’t tell how bad their life smells! 1. The Smelly Debt Collector.

    So why as your pastor should I think that I should stand up here and tell you that you need to give if I already know that people don’t like it?

    I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW “5 Characteristics of a Generous Church” 2nd Corinthians 8:1-7 The first job I had I got when I was about 12 or 13 years of age.

    Today as we look at this world, we realize something is missing... The missing item is often love. In a world filled with chaos and division, the message of love stands as a beacon of hope, calling us to a higher standard.

    How did Paul become the stalwart we know through his letters? The message is a study of those who stand with us to advance the cause of Christ as others stood with Paul as he laboured for the Master.

    “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything ...read more

    On this Easter Sunday morning, we stand amazed with the women who see the angel at the empty tomb. The angel announces to them, “He is risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.”

    You Are Not Alone! Matthew 28:1-10 1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. ...read more

    The Judgment Of The Saints

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2014
     | 5,402 views

    What will it be like when we as followers of Jesus Christ stand before the Judgment seat of Christ? What about the books that will be opened and the Lamb's Book of Life? Will the Lord be honored by what is in the books or will we be humbled?

    A few weeks ago we took a look at the do’s and don’ts of judging others on earth whether they are Christians or not. Two weeks ago we looked at the certainty of the judgment that is awaiting those whose faith and trust was not in Jesus at the time of their death. Today we’ll be ...read more
