Sermon On Trust And Freedom

Contributed by William Meakin on Mar 20, 2022

Trust could be said to have a symbiotic relationship with freedom, without one the other is difficult to find.

Robert C. Solomon, an American-born philosopher and author once remarked: “Trust is not bound up with knowledge so much as it is with freedom, the openness to the unknown.” Proverbs 3:5 states: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Galatians 5:1 ...read more

Rejoice And Again I Say Rejoice!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jun 27, 2021

God knows what’s around the corner, He knows what’s up around the bend. He knows and that’s all we need to know! That’s where the hard part comes in, because human nature feels like we ALWAYS need to know more!

Rejoice and again I say Rejoice! So lift your hands and praise the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever! (Psalm 106:1) Hebrews 13:15 15. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Everyone ...read more

A Reckless Path Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 8, 2022

In Revelation 2:14 Balaam is a warning to the church. An insider causing the destruction. Beware of someone on the reckless path causing the church to compromise from within. It is the ultimate sell-out.

The story of Balaam is a fascinating one. What you might think of first with Balaam is that he was the prophet whose donkey spoke to him. It was incredible and there is nothing else quite like it in the Bible. Balaam is significant in Old Testament history and for the New Testament church. There ...read more

They Cry Out Upon Moses And Aaron. Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 5, 2022

Hope For Shipwrecked Lives

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 10, 2022

Troubles come to Christians. The answer is how do you find hope in the trouble?

Paul had been arrested. He had been tried in a false trial and he appeals unto Caesar as a Roman citizen. He was commanded to stand trial before Caesar. Troubles that place us in a no hope situation do come. From Paul’s life, we can see them come as a result of things that Paul had no control over. ...read more

Youth With Christ In Action

Contributed by Minister Dachi on Oct 20, 2022

Solomon, who wasted much of his life in folly, perhaps thought better of the matter in his declining days. He contended: “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, I have no pleasure in them” (Eccl. 12:1).

But remember that God is going to judge you for whatever you do. Youth is a time for fundamental decisions ...read more
