    Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 23, 2022
     | 3,946 views

    What's going on here? Paul preaches a message without using Scripture? He quotes from an inscription on a pagan shrine? No follow up for the new believers in Athens? We better take a closer look at Paul's Mars Hill sermon.

    The context of Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon When we look at Paul’s Mars Hill sermon given in Athens in Acts 17, he is well into his second missionary journey. His plans were changed early in the journey when the Holy Spirit kept him from preaching the word in Asia and then he received his Macedonian ...read more

    Advent 3rd week – JOY. The Advent of CHRIST brings JOY to the WORLD. Too often we get all wrapped up in the busyness of the Christmas Season and miss the whole meaning of CHRISTMAS. Take time and stop and pause, and consider the TRUE JOY we are celebrating.

    Walk In Integrity

     | 3,689 views

    There is a shaking taking place within the Body of Christ, God is trying to get the attention of His people saying wake up and come out of her, come out of the lies, the hypocrisies, the false apostate church, stop having a form of godliness and live holy and walk in integrity.

    Walk in Integrity By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Now by this being New Year’s Ever, and the last Sunday before we enter a New Year there are some preachers who will try to give a prophetic word for 2024. Some will come up with a catchy cliché like God will open doors in 2024, ...read more

    My friend, if you don’t take charge of the changes taking place in your life, someone else will.

    WHOM WILL HE TEACH? Text: Isaiah 28:8 thru 13 Following the Sunday morning service, the pastor stood at the back of the church, shaking hands with the worshipers as they left. As one man was leaving, he looked intensely at the pastor and said, "Powerful sermons, Pastor. Thoughtful, well ...read more

    The True Meaning Of A Lenten Sacrifice

    Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Mar 9, 2019
     | 7,550 views

    Most people attempt to give something up for Lent. But is what we give up for Lent beneficial to us or to God?

    This past Wednesday, the collective whole of the Christendom observed Ash Wednesday. A day in the church year when we are reminded of our mortality, but more importantly, reminded of our reliance on God, both for life in this world and for life in the next. This day is the mark of the beginning of ...read more

    Our role in taking on the burdens of others and living a Christian life.

    2nd Pentecost 11 Life and simple acts of kindness. Mathew 10: 40-42 This morning’s gospel is one of the shortest in the lectionary only being 2 verses long so I wanted to back up and take in two more verses so that this will make more sense to you the hearer. 38* and he who does not take his ...read more

    Attractive Christianity

    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,746 views

    What will it take to reverse some of the damage we have done to ourselves and the church’s image? I believe it will take Christians really living like Christians.

    You know, it’s startling today to realize exactly how people look at Christianity. To much of the world Christians are just a nuisance. We are just a bunch of crazy fanatics who try to impose innumerable rules upon everyone else. We’re just a bunch of do-gooders who always find ways to condemn ...read more

    We Must Examine Ourselves

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 1, 2022
     | 2,035 views

    When taking the Sacrament of Holy Communion, we must take an honest inventory of our life through examination, confession and forgiveness. We must take the Sacrament fully reconciled before God and our neighbor.

    THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, THE LORD'S SUPPER HAS BEEN THE MOST COMMON FORM OF PUBLIC WORSHIP. THE HOLY SUPPER TAKEN TOGETHER IN THE FORM OF WORSHIP BECOMES THE MEANS BY WHICH WE ARE EMPOWERED TO FULLY GIVE OF OURSELVES. CHRISTIANS CAN ONLY MINISTER ON THE BASIS OF WHAT THEY ...read more

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 3:21-29 - Message 10 – The Law Was The Guide Dog – All Locked Up Under Sin – Exploring Baptism In The New Testament Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 13, 2024
     | 691 views

    The Law could not make one righteous but pointed the way to Christ. Scripture locks everyone up under the control of sin. The Law also locked up the ones under it as well. We open up the meaning of baptism in the New Testament, both water and Spirit. Both are essential.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 3:21-29 - MESSAGE 10 – THE LAW WAS THE GUIDE DOG – ALL LOCKED UP UNDER SIN – EXPLORING BAPTISM IN THE NEW TESTAMENT [A]. ARE PROMISES AND LAW IN A MORTAL BATTLE? {{Galatians 3:21 “Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be, for if a law ...read more

    Single Is Safer

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on May 15, 2023
     | 936 views

    Ladies, if your Boaz never shows up it is OK to be single. Guys, if your Ruth never shows up it is OK.

    This is primarily for the ladies, but much also applies to the men. Many young people are worried about the dating scene and marriage seems unattainable as they age. Some have said that if you are not married by forty, it is unlikely you will and for the ladies it means they will not have ...read more

    The calling of Peter, what does it take to become a follower of Jesus?

    I’m not sure that’s exactly how it shook down, but it can’t be too far off! Jesus had ascended to heaven and the disciples were left there to make sense of it all, to carry on the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ. They had no idea their efforts would turn into this (look around) ...read more

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 26, 2021
     | 4,373 views

    Suppose that the Lord Jesus chose this very moment to return. Would you be ready? Our objective as Christians is not merely to be included in the Rapture but to bring as many people with us as we can. My eternal hope and my ongoing prayer is that neither you nor I get “left behind.”

    One day a pastor was flying home from a speaking engagement. During the flight he observed one of the pilots flirting and chatting it up with one of the women flight attendants. He also noticed that the pilot was wearing a wedding ring and the flight attendant was not. As he watched the couple ...read more
