    The greatest comeback in all of history happened in Jerusalem when Jesus came back from the dead.

    Is There Evidence That Jesus Christ Is Alive After Death? An Examination Of The Facts

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 10, 2023
     | 1,358 views

    For me, it’s obvious that Jesus Christ is alive right now. Because he changed my life forever. He set me free from sins and addictions. He changed my family. My grandpa. My mom. He’s still changing lives everyday in this very city, and across the face of the Earth.

    If Jesus is dead then I’m a fraud. If Jesus is dead right now, then we’re all a joke. The atheists would be right. The world would be right. All the good in the world wouldn’t really be good, all the bad wouldn’t really be bad, all our work would be for nothing, and our lives would be truly ...read more

    Shaping The Next Generation

    Contributed by Brian Williams on May 16, 2023
     | 4,604 views

    We can, by the power of the Spirit be part of shaping the next generation and encouraging them to take a stand for the Lord, to speak up for truth and what is right when the world is telling Christians to sit down and keep our convictions to ourselves.

    I was reading an article on how to understand Millennials and Gen Z (born between 1980-2012). This article said, “You can learn a lot about a generation by looking at the generation of parents that raised them.” In a book called A Generation at Risk, a 20-year longitudinal study revealed how ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 17, 2023
     | 1,809 views

    The book of 2 Timothy is Paul's last letter. In chapter 4 Paul gives what could be called his last message to Timothy. Look for the four types of disciples Paul mentions in verses 9-11.

    (Based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription) Introduction: Paul had been convicted and sentenced to death. Before this happened, though, he wrote this second letter to Timothy. In keeping with our August “back-to-school” theme, we could say that ...read more

    In a world full of distraction, it is more important than ever to refocus our attention and worship on what truly matters: Christ.

    TOO BUSY TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING How many of you have ever had a day where you had so much to do, that you just couldn’t get anything done? As soon as you’d start a task, something else – just as essential – would grab your attention, and then just as you got the ball rolling, a third thing would ...read more

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath day holy? Why did God give us this command, and how is it applicable for us today? God’s word has answers for all of these questions, and those who follow will be duly blessed.

    God’s commandment on observing the Sabbath We read in Exodus 20:8–10,"Observe the Sabbath and keep it holy. You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to me. On that day no one is to work..”(GNB) One of the Ten Commandments from the Lord as ...read more

    Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 1 – Genesis Chapter 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 27, 2023
     | 1,353 views

    Every aspect of God’s perfect creation in Genesis 1 has been inverted by man to make monstrosities out of what God created and said, “It is good.” Satan is the one who will destroy and mangle all for evil. We look at these items Satan has mangled, twisted and inverted.

    MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 1 – GENESIS CHAPTER 1 We are now living in a twisted, contorted and inverted world. In fact the change has not been a slow creeping of the years, but a very rapid convolution that has ascended from the pit and into the ...read more

    Our battle against the devil is a spiritual battle, but God equips us with what we need. God strengthens us as we make use of the resources He has already provided us that Paul calls the full armor of God.

    We have several in our church family that have served our country in the military. For all of you that have served, you know how important it is to be trained for battle. During the closing months of World War II, Nazi Germany became so desperate that they initiated the Volksturm, the people's ...read more
