Lose That Weight!

Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Jan 8, 2012

We need to look forward the coming year with a new sense of commitment and resolve free ourselves from the impediments that hinder us from being effective servants of God.

January is named after Janus, the god of the doorway; the name has its beginnings in Roman mythology, coming from the Latin word for door (ianua) – January is the door to the year.

Fear Is A Faith Killer

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Nov 1, 2019

We have been in a series about FEAR. Good fear? Bad fear? Fear plays games with your emotions. Fear will always kill your faith. We must identify fear. Adam and Eve were afraid? Why? Why do we allow fear to steal our joy and peace?

Spiritual Dumbness Series

Contributed by James Dina on Jan 4, 2022

No people make such good preachers as those who were once dumb. If the Lord opens their mouths, they will think they cannot preach often enough, and earnestly enough, to make up for the mischief they did before.

SPIRITUAL DUMBNESS “And they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, ...read more

Occupy Till I Come

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 1, 2022

In our text we read of an individual who had once been controlled by the devil, but the Lord cast the devil out of him and marvelously saved him.

Of course any person who has been saved surely appreciates what the Lord has done for him, but many times those who have been in the depths of sin almost seem to appreciate their salvation more than those who had led good moral lives. Well, it seems that this man, who had been demon possessed was ...read more

The Book Of Mark # 15

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

The calling of the twelve disciples is significant. These twelve men were special in that they were chosen to be the twelve disciples that the Lord Jesus Himself was going to teach and train.

These twelve men had opportunities that no other men who ever lived on this earth have had. Each disciple that Jesus called into the ministry had special skills. Many of them were fishermen, and He took their skill as fishermen and made them “fishers of men.” Let’s look at two things: I. THE ...read more

Victory Over Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

We are all thankful for every precious verse of scripture in the Word of God, but there are some verses we favor above others. One such verse is Psalm 56:3, we read, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”

WHY IS THIS SUCH A FAVORITE VERSE OF SCRIPTURE FOR SO MANY? Because there are times in ALL OF OUR LIVES when we are AFRAID!

Buried Alive

Contributed by Sean Dees on May 1, 2021

I want to talk to those of you that feel “buried alive”, you are conscious but bond, freed but still restrained. The enemy has placed you in the tomb and pronounced you “dead”!

Why We Are Here

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021

I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more
