    Facebook friends really aren’t friends, they’re casual acquaintances on the internet. But real friendship is a powerful thing that Jesus not only gave us, but taught us to use for His kingdom. What does Friendship mean to Jesus and to us?

    OPEN: I read about a woman who telephoned a friend and asked how she was feeling, "Terrible," came the reply over the wire, "my head’s splitting and my back and legs are killing me. The house is a mess, and the kids are simply driving me crazy." Very sympathetically the caller said, ...read more

    At a place called Ebenezer, Israel lost 34,000 men and their faith in God. After 20 years of misery, they faced the same battlefield and the same enemy. But this time they had victory. Did God want them defeated the first time? No! And God never meant for YOU to lose either!

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 15, 2021
     | 4,630 views

    Circumstances aren’t always just circumstances. We have to learn to see God at work.

    We’ve been talking about God’s Will for the past 4-5 Sundays. Today I ask the question, “What does God’s Will have to do with my circumstances in my everyday life?” God answers our prayers all the time. But many of those times we don’t even realize it was God trying to get our attention. ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Prodigal Son) # 8

     | 1,455 views

    Introduction: There is an old saying that we sometime quote as true, but we need to be careful quoting it, because it only contains part of the truth.

    The quote is, "You can always tell a man by the company he keeps." Can you? Always? No, this is not always the truth. For example, Jesus kept company with many that society had rejected. (1) HE KEPT COMPANY WITH LEPERS Now in first-century Palestine, lepers were viewed with horror ...read more

    The Reality Of Hell

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

     | 4,908 views

    The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

    I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more

    We need to operate in the following four areas, in order to be connected with God and receive His guidance: 1. obey God’s voice, 2. be sensitive to the spirit, 3. have an understanding of the scripture, and 4. be adding souls to the kingdom.

     | 821 views

    In Acts 2, Peter quotes the prophet Joel, declaring that in the last days, God would pour out His Spirit, and a prophetic movement would arise—a movement where men and women, young and old, would hear God’s heart and declare His message.

    We are living in a generation that is hungry for truth, desperate for hope, and longing for a sense of purpose. Many are searching for something real, something that transcends the chaos and confusion of our times. And while the world’s voice is often the loudest, there is another voice—a voice ...read more
