Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Apr 18, 2024

In a society where gender roles are evolving, it's disheartening to witness men taking advantage of women's financial struggles.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 30, 2023

Satan is a four-time loser, and he takes out his frustration on the church. The church lives in the wilderness, like Hagar, until Jesus returns.

Today, we have the privilege of working through Revelation 12. This chapter is going to have a different feel, than much of what we've read so far. We've gotten used to working with symbols, and images, and not taking things literally. And that hasn't changed. But what's ...read more

God Wins But It's Always By God's Calendar

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 21, 2023

The victory is God’s, but sometimes it takes a long time to achieve. And sometimes that victory is only in the willingness of martyrs to give up everything in witness to their faith.

Contributed by Steve Miller on Feb 27, 2008

Love takes first place in John 3:16. But isn’t that exactly why more don’t trust Jesus. They simply don’t trust love! Yet, God proves his love in the story of Hosea. His love(1)will never let you go and (2)will always take you back.

"It's Time To Flip The Script”

Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Feb 17, 2015

This message reminds us that Christ wants us to emphasize giving vis-a-vis taking. The Lex Talionis (Exodus 21:18-36, Leviticus 24:17-21 and Deuteronomy 19:15-21) said 'Don't take too much". But Jesus' message (Luke 6:27-29) was "Don't give too little".

38“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; 40 and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; 41 and ...read more

An Altered Gospel Is Creeping Into The Church

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 1, 2019

There are far too many people standing in the pulpit who are teaching false doctrine. What we’re seeing in the Church today was prophesied more than 50 years ago. This message looks at a portion of that prophecy.

In February, I saw a short videoclip of a young, charismatic pastor preaching to members of his congregation. I want you to listen to what he said. “I don’t beat nobody up for smoking, drinking and having sex and doing all that, not because I did it, but because I can relate. I can relate.
