Get Your Mind Right (With The Help Of God)

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 11, 2017

Philippians 4:8 calls us to think upon such things as truth, nobility, righteousness, purity, loveliness, etc. Why? What help will that be to the Christian. More importantly, what help will that be for the Kingdom of God in drawing others to Jesus?

Please open your Bibles to Philippians 4:4-9 which we will read in a few minutes. Our new memory verse is actually a follow-on to one of our earlier memory Scriptures; Philippians 4:6-7. “Finally, Brothers (or Brethren) …” Newer versions have “brothers and sisters”. Why?

Your Overlooked Sin

Contributed by B. D. B Moses on May 2, 2022

Israel was caught unaware, as they were cheering the judgement of the nations around them. Amos points his finger to the covenant people Israel. He charges them of their own overlooked sins deserving judgement.

It shocks everyone. These crimes are so heinous: • Russian soldiers’ murder, torture, looting, rape against Ukrainian women, threats of violence, and inhumane treatment of POWs. • In Myanmar a massive wave of violence broke out in Rakhine State, forcing more than 700,000 people - half of them ...read more

Take A Stand On Key Issues: Addiction, Abortion, & Marriage

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

The silence of the church on key issues of our day is deafening. By remaining silent on these issues, for fear of controversy, the church unilaterally makes itself irrelevant.

Hippolytus Of Rome Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 29, 2022

Hippolytus was elected as a rival bishop of the Roman Church for a while. For these doctrinal differences and the bishops' relaxing of moral standards, Hippolytus bitterly opposed both bishops and Callistus' successors, Urban and Pontianus.

Hippolytus of Rome Who was Hippolytus? I have never heard of this man, and for a good reason – He is a Catholic saint; I am a Baptist.

Thomas: My Favorite Apostle

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 31, 2022

The apostle Thomas gets the short end of the stick when we read about him and his "doubts" in the Gospel of John. He is more like you and I than we want to admit, and his story affirms it.

When we read of where Jesus chose the Twelve men who would be known as the Apostles, we need to step back for a moment and realize that these men were ordinary working -class, salt-of-the-earth, rough around the edge individuals who had jobs ranging from catching fish to collecting taxes to a ...read more

The Week That Changed The World: The Day Jesus Saw The Downfall Of Apostate Religion Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 15, 2021

Jesus finished His final day of public ministry. He taught the crowds in the Temple, confronted difficult questions, and then left for good. The Temple and its religious system was corrupt, useless, and irredeemable, and would be judged by God.

Mark 12:28-44 gives us details about the final day of Jesus' public ministry and HIs departure from the Temple. He will go to the Mount of Olives and present to His astonished disciples the reality of what is to come in the future, and it does not involve a new Israel free from Rome, nor the ...read more

"we're Fit To Be Tithed!"

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 11, 2020

A lot of us are reluctant to preach on giving. Churches are often criticized for their financial appeals, yet giving is an act of discipleship, devotion, and worship.

Just as he was about to ask the ushers to come forward for the offering, a piece of plaster fell from the ceiling and hit a man square on the head. ...read more
