    Empowering Men To Be Great Fathers And Husbands

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 3,823 views

    A good marriage extends grace to you when you are grumpy; remembers your birthdays, your favorite foods, and your favorite music; celebrates your wins; speaks the truth when no one else will; serves one another with joy without complaining; and affirms my best qualities when I am insecure.

    I had a really good father in life. My dad, Brian Maze, taught me to work hard as he grew up around the steel industry of Pittsburgh. He taught me to hate debt. He was a savor and modeled great wisdom for me in personal finance. He taught me to love my country as he was a Vietnam Vet around 1965. ...read more

    Don’t be like the 2 boys walking back home from church. They had just heard the pastor preach a strong message on the devil when the one boy said, “What do you think about all this Satan stuff?” The other boy replied, “You know how Santa Clause turned out. It’s probably just your dad.”

    According to a cartoon in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, God and the devil are discussing who gets to welcome Michael Jackson to the afterlife.

    Greed Or Need: Keeping Up With The Jones Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 3,463 views

    Keeping Up with the Jones is an American saying that simply means when you use your friends or neighbors as a benchmark for success. Oftentimes, we look across the street or inside our social circle and become dissatisfied with our lives because we don’t have the same financial success.

    What do you think of when you think of Dallas? For many, Dallas will be connected to the iconic J.R. Ewing who appeared in the famous March 1980 Who Shot J.R. episode and an estimated 83 million people wondered and watched the famous “Dallas” oilman. In the minds of many, the Dallas brand has been ...read more

    The title of this sermon may not make a bit of sense…but it is my sincere prayer before I complete this sermon it will make sense and you will understand the seriousness of SPIRITUAL AMNESIA THAT LEADS TO APOSTASY.

    I want to show you two things about AMNESIA AND APOSTASY. First, let us look at… I. AMNESIA WHAT IS AMNESIA? When a person has amnesia they forget some very important things in their life, such as… • They forget who their loved ones are...ISN’T THAT SAD! • Where they live… ISN’T THAT SAD! ...read more

    We aren’t freed FROM the Sabbath, we’re freed BY the Sabbath.

    Leah didn’t know why she kept coming to the synagogue. She counted the days up in her head... every 7 days for eighteen years, it had to be at least 400 times, she thought. At first people were sorry for her, and someone would take her arm to help her up the steps to section reserved for the women. ...read more

    The only way back to God is through the way God has provided for us.

    This is the third Sunday in Lent. This forty days is traditionally a time of reflection and repentance, a time to acknowledge our own sinfulness and need for God’s grace. And traditionally, too, pastors temporarily drop whatever track they were on and preach a series of special sermons just for ...read more

    When Trouble Comes

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,405 views

    When we all get in trouble we start to look for a way to get out of trouble. But where we look for help makes a big difference.

    Illus: That reminds me of two Canadians, Elmer and Huey that live in Newfoundland. They were walking down the street in New York looking for a way to make some easy money. They only had $350 between them and when it was gone they would be broke and on the streets. They saw a sign on a store ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,106 views

    A wife should "submit" to their husbands? Seriously? What can that mean, and what does it teach wives about their ministry to their families?

    OPEN: A 2 year old girl had a fascination with the story of “Cinderella.” One day, when the girl came across a photo of her mother and father on their wedding day, she got all excited. “Mommy got married just like Cinderella!” “Yes honey,” the mother answered. “just like Cinderella.” Then there ...read more

    Are You Useful To God? Series

     | 9,331 views

    God does not want believers to isolate or insulate themselves from the world and those who are lost. Like salt, Christians are called to make the world tastier; and like light, believers will shine the brightest only in the darkest places.

    Are you useful to God, or have you made yourself useless? When we come to know Jesus Christ, we are transformed into a holy instrument to be used by the Lord. We all have a purpose, but some of us choose to make ourselves useless by not allowing the Lord to touch us with His hand. To put it ...read more

    Vince Lombardi, the football coach, goes down in the history books as one of the all-time greats, if not the greatest, coach ever.

    . Why? Among other things, his team won three consecutive world championships at Green Bay. Anyone who knows anything about professional football knows this is a tremendous achievement. There has to be a reason for a team to make such an outstanding achievement and the reason was because of ...read more

    Getting Acquainted With God

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 1,963 views

    Occasionally I lose things and can not find them. Since my children are grown up and no longer live with us, I have no one to blame it on.

    Thank God for wives who can find things! It seems the older we get the more we forget things! Illus: Sometimes I feel like the woman who stood at the bottom of the staircase and she could not remember if she just came down or was going to go up. I must also confess that there are days that I ...read more

    God's Marvelous Love Attributes Of God - Part 2 Of Love (4 Of 10 Sermona)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022
     | 1,429 views

    With the previous message, we began to look at GOD’S LOVE, one of the attributes of God. The attributes of God are no more than a description of God.

    For example, if someone asked you to tell them something about God, what could you tell them? If you know the God of the Bible, you could tell them a great deal, because the Bible has a lot to say about the attributes of God. If you do not know the God of the Bible, there is not much you could ...read more

    I guess one of the biggest frustrations that parents have, is when they talk to their children and they either don't hear, or choose not to hear what the parents have to say.

    Illus: One woman’s three year old daughter, Beverly, was playing with her toys. Her mother, who was folding laundry across the room, noticed Beverly's shirt was dirty and needed to be changed. After calling two times with no response, her mother gave her the full three name call: "Beverly ...read more

    There are some lessons in life that some folks seem to have to learn the hard way.

    Illus: A first grade teacher asked her class to write six things in life they had learned the hard way. One little girl jotted these six things down. She had learned: • No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats • When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair • ...read more
