Idleness

The Lord said if you give unto the least in my kingdom you have done it unto Me! While we are to never tire from doing good and giving to the poor and needy, Apostle Paul tells us to ostracize those who refuse to work.

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 32 – Infants Die Of Hunger; Rich And Opulent Now Devastated In The Street; Judah’s Sin Greater Than Sodom - Chapter 4:3-7 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 2, 2025

Devastating is Jeremiah’s description, for the suffering of infants is great. Judah sinned worse than Sodom. Once devastated, the rich became as poor. The world is in a lamentable situation, but refuses to look at the basic underlying cause - man’s sin against God. Repentance is needed!

The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part I

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023

Jesus' parable of the wedding banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) is a call to salvation. There will be many who will make poor excuses and refuse the invitation. There will be those who accept it with gratitude, but some will try to enter in their own way. In which category do you fit?

Throughout the Scriptures, the call of God to come to Him for salvation, grace, and mercy is prominent. The paradise we lost at our fall into sin is not irreversible nor permanent. He has promised redemption even though we do not deserve it. He promised to make all things new, starting with the ...read more

A Victorious Life Through Christ Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 16, 2019

Unless we learn to take full responsibility for our own actions and stop blaming others -including Satan- for our poor choices; we will never be able to come before God with a repentant heart. And that's the most essential element for our salvation.

God knows every detail concerning our physical, emotional, and mental conditions. None of our truth, whether told or untold, is ever hidden from our omniscient Father who knew us before we were conceived; He already knows our last breath on this earth; and every dot in between. Psalm 139:13 reads, ...read more

Can I Really Believe Jesus Is Who He Says He Is? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Had your brother said, “I’m God. I’m the Lord. And I’m here to die for the sins of the world,” you wouldn’t readily believe Him either. But after Jesus rose from the grave, we see Jesus’ mother, Mary, worshipping Him. We also see his own brothers, James and Jude, worshipping as well.

Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. All throughout today’s message, I’m going to be talking about the gospel. The gospel is Jesus. The gospel is the message of Jesus.
