Minister On Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

This message looks at ministry or service. “Every believer isn’t a pastor, but every believer is called into ministry. God calls all believers to minister to the world and the church. Service in the body isn’t optional for Christians” - Rick Warren

This morning we’ll be viewing the purpose of “ministry” or “service.” In The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren says, “Growing up, you may have thought that being ‘called’ by God was something only missionaries, pastors, nuns, and other ‘full-time’ church workers experienced, but the Bible says ...read more

Demonic Possession And Jesus Series

God Made Me This Way Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 7, 2021

This is not a message about homosexuality. This message is much broader than that. It’s about a false doctrine or belief in the Body of Christ that is a lie. Part of the message is personal and you can also personalize it from your life experiences.

Too Young Or Too Old

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 26, 2021

There is unfortunately much ageism in the Body. When I was young, I had to point to Timothy. Now I have to point to Paul the aged in a time when 27 right out of seminary is ideal, but no one over 50 is considered.

Heaven Exists

Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 22, 2021

Yes, heaven exists but the description of the three (or more) levels of heaven are illusive. Also, do we have bodies there? Are we conscious? Do we have tactile feelings similar to what we experience now?

Heaven Exists Before we get into the existence of heaven, let's consider exactly when do we go? As with numerous Biblical topics, many churches, under Christianity's umbrella, have different beliefs on these topics. The following are my thoughts as reinforced by the specified verses from ...read more

Servanting, Soldiering, And Searching For Souls

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022

How are we to be what we are meant to be? A preacher, a teacher, a deacon, a church secretary, a witness, one of the board of trustees, the list goes on. It does not matter the size of the local church body that we may be affiliated with.

It boils down to: How we are to live, How we are to work, and How we are to die. A faithful fruit tree will bring forth faithful followers. How do we live? By being a faithful Servant.
