    Satan tries to rob us of life – both eternal life and abundant life – through his lies and deception, and if we listen to him, he will steal away life as a thief in the night. He wants to bring about death, and loss of joy and fulfillment.

    If you’re sinking in quicksand, Satan will gladly pat you on the head. - Adrian Rodgers Satan, or the devil, is always trying to beat us down and to steal our life. The Christian vocalist Carman, in his song called “Slam,” stated of the devil, “You tried to break me, tried to shake me; tried to ...read more

    Habakkuk prays this beautiful prayer, asking the Lord to REVIVE His work. I trust that before the service is over, this will be your prayer.

    There is a lot of suffering in this life. We see it in many areas of our life. For example, we see it: (1) IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM Illus: A young boy was watching his mother as she tried on her new fur coat. He said, "Mom, do you realize some poor dumb beast suffered so you could have that ...read more

    How To Overcome Temptation

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,016 views

    All sincere Christians have some things in common. One thing is that they all want to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

    They also have to contend with the devil’s throwing every temptation he can throw at them every day to try to keep them from pleasing the Lord. It is a scriptural fact, as long as we live in these mortal bodies we will have to contend with this. WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM? Because, every Christian ...read more

    1 Timothy 4:1-5 shows us several features of false teachers.

    Scripture In his First Letter to Timothy, Paul concluded chapter 3 with a description of the church as “a pillar and buttress of the truth” (3:15) and a summary of that truth in relation to Christ (3:16). Chapter 4 opens with a discussion of false teachers. Let us read 1 Timothy 4:1-5: 1 Now the ...read more

    Many of us have had hunger pangs to return the community that Covid 19 took from us. This sermon focuses on the aspects of community, the birth of the Church, the Great Commission and How the Holy Spirit empowers us. Today we will focus on barriers, baptism and breaking out.

    A NEW BEGINNING Text: Acts 2:1 - 11, 17 - 21 Act 2:1-11  When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.  (2)  And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. ...read more

    Expectations – General And Specific – Great And Small Series

     | 4,067 views

    Expectations keep us hoping if they are good, and fearful if they are bad. There are many examples in the bible of expectations but I have selected only a few, then we look at Christian expectations. Even cricket is touched on.

    EXPECTATIONS – GENERAL AND SPECIFIC – GREAT AND SMALL I wonder how many are familiar with the novel “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens. Pip the orphan boy relates his story that is based around what expectations wait for him, surprises, incorrect assumptions, tragedy and a lot more. Well as ...read more

    Illegitimate, rejected, expelled, Jephthah became a recognised warrior. The ones who ill-treated him crawled to him for help against the Ammonites who were invading the country. There is much of human nature playing out in this account. We examine that. PART 1 of two parts.

I have put that in the message for SERMONCENTRAL as it is easier to read in text. THE INTRODUCTION – LEADERLESS IN A DISMAL TIME {{Judges 10:17-18 Then the sons of Ammon ...read more

    By Faith, Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did. But what does that mean? What made the sacrifice more acceptable? And what can that mean for us?

    OPEN: I read from a Children’s book the story of Cain and Abel. You know, it’s odd - we ALL seem to know the story about Cain and Abel. But Cain gets more “PRESS” from Scripture than Abel does. Cain is mentioned in 18 verses but Abel ONLY gets 11 verses (about 1/3 less attention). But the PRESS ...read more
