The Decline Of A Society

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 21, 2022

There is a book called “The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire”, which tells of the rise to power and the collapse of the Roman Empire.

We look back in history and do not think much about the fall of Rome, but to put it into perspective, you have to realize the nation of Rome was so big, no one ever thought such a thing could have happened, BUT IT DID! Nations have COME and nations have GONE! For example, who would have ever ...read more

The Greatness Of God Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on May 24, 2021

How great is our God? All Scripture references are from the NASB.

God is great! That is an understatement. We get that, but do we comprehend why God is great? Can we begin to grasp how great God truly is? This is why we have been exploring the attributes, or the characteristics of God. God is without limits, He is not bound by time and space as we understand ...read more

A Word Concerning Divorce (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 27, 2021

What does Scripture teach about divorce? Does God encourage divorce? Is divorce permissible for any reason? Jesus reveals much regarding these significant questions.

A Word Concerning Divorce (Part 1) Matthew 5: 31-32 As we approach our text, I am reminded of the words of Dr. Alan Carr. “When you preach through books of the Bible one of the great blessings is that, sooner or later, you will preach on every subject imaginable.

It's Okay To Say No

Contributed by Christopher Lund on Dec 8, 2020

It can be hard to tell people "no", and sometimes we say "yes" when we don't actually mean it. But Jesus shows us how important "no" can be. From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEWRnuMvKY4

I think a lot of us can have a hard time saying "no" to people. We can be afraid that other people will be disappointed, or let down, or maybe not even like us as much anymore. Or we might feel guilty, guilty that someone else might have to help them instead of us, or that nobody will ...read more

Father And Son

Usually we understand this chapter in terms of testing, faith, obedience, commitment, surrender, substitutionary sacrifice, The Lord Will Provide. It’s all in there.

The Christ In A Manger

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Mar 24, 2020

We have heard the story so often that it seems obvious that Christ was born in a manger. But that would have been shocking to the world of that day.

I always enjoy the chance to meet people from different cultures and learn how 2 people from 2 different cultures can look at the same event and see it differently. Years ago, we lived in New Delhi India. Kathy and I had to take a bus to a shop in the old city, so I brought my Bible along to ...read more

I Am A Survivor "When The Smoke Clears"

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 10, 2020

Our God is all powerful and can do anything but He chooses to work through men. Every protective barrier has failed; Kings, prophets, priest, governors, pastors and judges are fearfull, yet God is searching for an intercesor to stand in the gap and make up the hedge.

The name Ezekiel means God strengthens or God empowers. This young prophet of God had experienced some difficult times. He along with Daniel, the Hebrews boys and many others had been carried captive into Babylon. They lost their identity, their heritage and their dignity. It is one thing to be in ...read more

Easter - 2020

Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on Apr 22, 2020

Easter is one of our most holy of celebrations as a Christian. This is the day our Lord, defeated the world and proved He was, beyond the shadow of doubt, truly... the Son of God!

I’ve always talked about how difficult it sometimes is to write something for everyone each week. We’ve all heard God’s words and, hopefully, have listened intently and realized the Love He has for us and the sacrifice His Son made to free us from ourselves. This week, my task was not all that ...read more
