    Authenticity

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 6, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,504 views

    To become authentic means to become genuine. Hints in becoming genuine. 1. Honest -- Speak the truth. 2. Direct -- Speak in terms that are clear, concise and focused. 3. About here-and-now -- Speak about what is going on right now.

    Authenticity 1 Samuel 17:38-40NKJB Haddon Robinson once gave this word of wisdom "In any situation, what you ARE determines what you see, what you SEE determines what you DO." Keep that in mind as we study David, Saul and Goliath. So Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze ...read more

    Jesus condemned whoever sets aside the least of God’s commands. What does that mean? Let’s learn what our relationship to the law is. Let’s examine salt, light and the law in Matthew 5:13-20.

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 3, 2023
     | 2,710 views

    Cana was mysteriously chosen to be the site of Jesus' first two miracles in Galilee. Cana means "a rod for measuring." At Cana a desperate man met Jesus. His perspective was changed and his gold-like faith emerged.

    THE TESTING AT CANA: DO YOU MEASURE UP? John 4:39-54 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There was a man in prison for robbery of a bank. He’d never told the police where he’d hidden the money. 2. His old father wrote him a letter, “Son, I wish you were here. I’d like to have a garden this year, but ...read more

    Luke 24:49NKJV Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” This word endued means, clothed, or robed with power from on high.

    Four Steps To Bearing Fruit

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,125 views

    John chapter 15 speaks of bearing fruit, which we often interpret as winning lost souls to Christ. However, winning people to Christ is only one meaning of the word fruit. Fruit symbolized the best result or sweetest prize in life.

    One time on the farm I was sitting on my porch admiring the rose bushes that were in bloom. A couple of weeks prior they had appeared to be dead. They hadn’t been pruned in over two years since my mom passed away. Each bush was a huge mass of dead branches. My wife asked me about them, and I ...read more

    Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 927 views

    Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?

    THERE ARE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT CAN CREATE FEAR AND POSSIBLY DISTRESS DUE TO THEIR BLUNT, BUT HIDDEN MEANING. IN LUKE 14:26, WE ARE TOLD THAT “IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS—YES, EVEN THEIR OWN LIFE—SUCH A PERSON CANNOT BE MY ...read more

    David wrote that God's word is the lamp for our feet and the light for our path. What does this mean and how do we put that to use in our lives? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    The alphabet has always been foundational to learning. If you’ve ever watched The Sound of Music, you probably remember the scene where Maria is teaching the children to sing.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 3, 2025
     | 257 views

    The Wheat and the Tares is a well-known parable and we dissect it to look at the meaning and practical issues involved. It has had application to the whole of Church history and today those in oversight in churches need to be very cautious and stay alert for the entry of false teaching.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE SECOND – THE WHEAT AND THE TARES – Part 1 of 2 We come to the second of the Kingdom Parables commonly known as The Parable of the Tares. Previously we studied the Sower and saw this to be the good seed sown by the Sower who is Christ, but taken up by His Apostles in ...read more

    The Firstborn

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jan 1, 2026
     | 128 views

    If God sees us as firstborns, then I congratulate us. This is when it makes sense to say Merry Christmas, meaning a happy celebration of the birth of Christ. I commend all of you who have allowed the firstborn, Jesus, to be born into your lives.

    Christmas Message on 12/25/25 Luke 2:1-7 “… And she brought forth her firstborn Son, …” - Luke 2:7 This Christmas, the Lord allowed my mind to catch the concept of Jesus being the firstborn of Mary, and I pondered on what it could mean for you and me spiritually. I read that in the Old ...read more

     | 1,042 views

    Sanctification is the process by which a believer is set apart for God’s purposes, living a life that reflects His holiness. To live a sanctified Christian life means to intentionally separate oneself from sin and to pursue a life of purity, guided by the Holy Spirit.

    LIVING A SANCTIFIED CHRISTIAN LIFE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and ...read more

    The False Prophet At Bethel Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 14, 2025
     | 779 views

    Just because one claims to be an old prophet doesn't mean he's a true prophet. This message recounts what happened to a true prophet who listened to an old but false prophet. The true prophet paid dearly.

    Introduction: Bethel was the scene of some good encounters between people and the LORD. Sadly it was also a place where Jeroboam established a false religion, centering on the worship of a golden calf. The background for this message comes from 1 Kings 12-13 Full disclosure: Sermon Central has ...read more
