    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 7, 2023
     | 1,734 views

    We keep thinking that God only loves good people, but God loves sinners. He pursues them like he asked Hosea to pursue Gomer. With a painfilled heart, God goes looking for them, He loves the whole world.

    Sermon – Advent continues -The Inescapable Love of God Scripture: Hosea 11:1-12 “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt. But the more I called to him, the farther he moved from me, offering sacrifices to the images of Baal, and burning incense to idols. I myself ...read more

    Perhaps you think singleness and sexuality is an oxymoron. But as you may recall from our first week in his series… as declared in the creation account of Genesis …we are all sexual beings… When do we become sexual…? Not through the covenant of marriage

    Intro – Continuing in our series entitled ‘Restoring the Gift of Sexuality’… and today we are going to consider the sexuality of single adults.’ Some may think… “Well this will be a short message.” Perhaps you think singleness and sexuality is an oxymoron.

     | 28,541 views

    Don’t Worry, its not what you think. The Biblical (KJV) word for donkey is often a synonym for a fool. But as we will find, Balaam’s talking donkey was more wise than he was, and wiser than some we may meet.

    When God Spoke Through An Ass Joshua 13:22, Num 22:21-35 How would you feel if an animal spoke to you? The story is told of a man who bought a beautiful, exotic, tropical parrot from a local pet store. The pet store owner said that the parrot could talk and after demonstrating a few sentences ...read more

     | 3,269 views

    Something I said in the last letter has had me thinking. “If we’re all bricks in the same building, stretching back over thousands of years and covering the whole earth, then I have trouble with the idea of my ‘church’ and your ‘church.’”

    “You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.’ So then, each of us will give an account of ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,253 views

    Many times we think our situation is beyond hope. We're tempted to accept the natural, inevitable outcome. But are we calculating without God? What if we served a God of miracles! Could things be different? A thousand times YES!

    DON’T SAY GOD CAN’T 2 Kings 6:25; 7:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: I’ve Heard Crazier Things 1.

    A Costly Memorial Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 7, 2023
     | 2,077 views

    As you think about what Jesus did for you on the cross, consider making a costly memorial, and start by giving Him yourself. Sure, people will criticize, but Jesus won’t. He’ll commend you before all your critics someday.

    In Great Britain, a butcher specified in his will that he be cremated and that at his memorial service the organ was to play Cole Porter’s song, “Every Time We Say Goodbye.” Well, he got half his wish. He was cremated, but the organist brought the wrong Cole Porter Sheet Music. Instead of playing, ...read more

    If Nimrod had been around today, he would have had action dolls made in his image. He would have had a following of kids all around the world. And I think Nimrod had something to do with the strange happenings of Genesis 11.

    Genesis 11 – Part 2 – SUPER HEROES, SKYSCRAPERS AND ASTROLOGY! I think it had something to do with Nimrod! My grandson loves super heroes. He has videos of “Ben Ten” He stands there and with a big voice declares “I am Tahmongasaur!” (I think he means to say ...read more

    Entertainment, Or Entrapment?

    based on 84 ratings
     | 7,702 views

    Christians really should be careful what they watch, and what they let their children watch. Don’t fall prey to the evil one’s schemes. You may think it’s entertainment, but is it really?

    The Bible has much to say concerning the end time, and the conditions that would characterize the last days. Paul told Timothy that perilous, dangerous times would come. But in his description of those dangerous times, he does not mention the expected, such as wars, rumors of wars, nation ...read more

    Think about this. "What is it that people really want?" & "Just how important are these things, anyway?" Now let’s look at my list, & see if we can find some answers to these questions.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH bROWNSVILLE, TX A. Some months ago, a preacher I know decided to keep track for one week of all the requests people made of him at the church, & of all the questions that he was asked.

     | 5,343 views

    We live in a time when people think they can beat the system of God’s way of doing things. Sin enters their life and then they can’t understand why things start going wrong.

    Scripture: Joshua 7:1 – Title: “Above The Law” Introduction: Joshua and the people of God were experiencing victory. They had come out of the wilderness, crossed the flooded Jordan River on dry ground. They had seen the walls of Jericho fall down after they had walked around them for seven days. ...read more

    How The Holy Spirit Helps Us Put A Positive Spin On Every Problem

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 135 ratings
     | 8,229 views

    The Holy Spirit helps us view problems with the mind of Christ. When you are tempted to say, "All these problems make me think that my efforts are not worth it, remember Romans 8:28.

    1. The Holy Spirit increasingly sanctifies those who are a part of His family. The Spirit frees us from the problems, restrictions and penalties of sin as He sanctifies us. 2 Cor. 3:18, Paul writes, "But we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord are changed from ...read more

     | 53,726 views

    People are blaming heredity, environment, job pressures, poverty, prejudices, abuse, & anything else they can think of for their problems today. But the Bible very clearly teaches that we’re responsible for our choices.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. Have you noticed? Our society has produced people who ignore their responsibilities & then blame others for their problems. “If I get into financial trouble, it’s not my fault, it’s because of easy credit. And the ...read more
