    Calm In The Storm

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 7, 2023
     | 1,620 views

    It isn’t Jesus’ job to calm our storms, but to calm our hearts so that we can face the storms with confidence and courage.

    I just came back from attending my first General Assembly. It is sort of a cross between a political convention and a session of Congress. Commissioners are called together every year from all over the country to do the business of the church, and their decisions are expected to embody the ...read more

    Rewards From Our Returning King Series

    Contributed by Mark Hall on Sep 23, 2023
     | 1,365 views

    I give my full permission for this sermon to be used in whatever way can bring glory to God. In this Parable of the Mina, Jesus again reveals the wonderful gift of rewards that He has reserved for those who faithfully serve Him.

    REWARDS FROM OUR RETURNING KING Please open your Bible to Luke 19 as we conclude our series on Eternal Rewards with today’s message, “Rewards from Our Returning King.” Jesus gave two parables of what it would be like to stand before Him at His judgment seat. Last week, in the Parable of the Talents ...read more

     | 2,222 views

    Sukkot, The Feast of Tabernacles, the Season of our Joy, and the Ingathering is a time of celebration of things past, and things to come. Temporary outdoor gathering places to understand the meaning of “Look up, for your redemption draws near,” and “caught up together…to meet the LORD in the air.”

    Just A Misunderstanding - Or - Just Being Contentious?

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 3, 2023
     | 1,053 views

    We examine the CHORUS of a great old hymn that a few say is not doctrinally correct. Are those critics misunderstanding what the words mean, or are they being contentious? We carefully look at the work of Calvary in the message.

    JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING - OR - JUST BEING CONTENTIOUS? [1]. A HYMN CHORUS UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT There would be none of us who is without misunderstanding when it comes to biblical issues. We may try with God’s help to grasp a passage of scripture but sometimes it is not within our reach. Then ...read more

    "Enter Into His Gates With Thanksgiving…” (Psalms 100:4)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 17, 2023
     | 5,980 views

    Notice, our text begins, “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord...”

    As I preach this message I would like to show you why it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord. We usually think of being thankful as being connected with good manners. Illus: A man gave a little child a piece of candy. The mother was embarrassed, because the child immediately stuck the ...read more

    Has Satan Hindered You?

     | 2,157 views

    In fact if we are really trying our best to follow Jesus, there are times it seems we could say, “The devil wouldn't let me do it.” Let's be sure about this, the devil's power is limited. But even the apostle Paul said that the devil got in his way and caused his plans to change.

    Seeking The World

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,595 views

    Some of us are lost in a sea of material things, and bills, and debt, feeling like we’re drowning and that the very life is being sucked right out of us. In order to have abundant life, we must seek life in Jesus instead of life in the world.

    Eddie Rickenbacker was America’s most famous army aviator during World War I. During World War II he was appointed special consultant to Secretary of War, Henry L.

    Why The Lord Withdraws

     | 3,254 views

    Sometimes we can become prideful and overconfident in our own abilities, which is sin; and so, God will hide His face from us (Isaiah 59:2). The Lord will hide from us in order to gain our attention and cause us to cling to Him.

    One day a mother was out shopping with her son. Every time she took him shopping with her she couldn’t keep him by her side. As soon as she would turn her back, the boy would wander off somewhere, though keeping his mother in sight the entire time. She would then have to go and retrieve him. ...read more

    Habitation Of Shepherds

    Contributed by James Dina on Feb 10, 2022
     | 2,072 views

    Our churches will no longer be a haven for beggars, but rather a haven for shepherds who have resolved to make disciples of all nations. Our land will no longer be called "desolate," but rather "Beulah," because the Lord delights in us, and our land will be married.

    HABITATION OF SHEPHERDS "Thus says the Lord of hosts; again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds, causing their flocks to lie down" (Jeremiah 33:12) KJV.

    The Sifting Of The Saints

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022
     | 6,916 views

    This passage of scripture has to do with the “sifting” of the saints. Before we can fully appreciate what this passage is teaching, we have to know something about sifting.

    Illus: Some of the older women in this congregation can remember when years ago they had a “sifter” in their kitchen. This was something they could hold with one hand, and use the other hand to turn a handle that rotated a wire wheel inside the sifter basket. As they prepared a meal for their ...read more

    What God Values Most Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Dec 2, 2022
     | 5,386 views

    This message is about value. Many believe that they are worthless and have no value at all based on life's circumstances but that is simply not true. God values each of us and has said so in His Word.

    What God Values Most Scripture: Luke 12:6-7, Proverbs 27:21; Romans 8:2 In the twelfth chapter of the book of Luke, Jesus discussed with His disciples the depth of God’s knowledge of us and why we should not fear men or worry about the things of this life. This is what He said in verses six, ...read more

    This is a promise we can stand on. Jesus, who endured all things for us, offers to us His strength by which we can endure.

    Introduction Some years ago, a 14-foot bronze crucifix was stolen from Calvary Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas. It had stood at the entrance to that cemetery for more than 50 years. The thieves figured that the 900-pound cross probably brought about $450 and so they cut it off at its base and ...read more
