    Whether it is our nature or not, God sometimes calls us to flex and adjust to change, but He gives us the strength to do so.

    The Return Trip That Was Diverted Thwarted Christmas Plans series (Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23) 1. I love stories like this: (UPI) An alleged robber at a Florida convenience store picked the wrong potential victim when the man he threatened with a BB gun turned out to be a former WWE wrestler.

    God has set a standard way for the Human race. But man has found many ways for his survival. Certain ways are painful to the Lord, certain ways are pleasing to the Lord and only one way leads to eternal. Read to find out.

    Text: Psalm 139:17-24 Theme: Leads us into the Everlasting way Introduction: Psalm 139 is a more comprehensive holistic Psalm on God. The relationship between God and man is related to each other in many ways and dealings. Psalm 139:1-6 explains the knowledge of God on the activities and ...read more

    Three Responses To Jesus Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 3, 2021
     | 3,063 views

    Mark 3: 7-12 presents a broad summary of the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ thus far, getting the attention of three groups of people; those who are committed to Him; those who are curious about Him, and those who are hostile. Where do you stand?

    The five verses presented here have been described by noted pastor John MacArthur as "a sweeping summary" of Jesus' work, describing the growing impact of the LORD'S ministry among HIs people and those outside of Judea. By now, multitudes are following Him, some out of ...read more

    Is The Gospel Pc?

     | 3,004 views

    Too often we make the gospel into something it is not because we are uncon=mfortable with others' reactions.

    1. A preacher was once approached by a troubled church member who wanted to air his concerns about the direction the church was going. When it was the preacher’s turn to speak he began quoting scripture the member replied, "If you’re going to start using the Bible we’re done talking. You study ...read more

    Open Our Eyes Lord Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,315 views

    We live in uncertain times and every decision we take will impact our lives like never before. We need to operate with our spiritual eyes open. This must be our prayer that our eyes may be open to see the provision, protection and presence of God.

    Opened Eyes! Exodus 15:25 (KJV) And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, God created man in His own image and He enjoyed a beautiful ...read more

    The Final Hours Of The Lord Jesus -From Golgotha To The Grave (For Now) Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 19, 2021
     | 2,228 views

    The Lord Jesus is in His last moments of agony and pain, both physically and spiritually as He completes His mission of redemption for fallen humanity. It looked on the surface, however, like a victory for his enemies and the devil as He died and was placed in a borrowed tomb, or so it would seem.

    (Adapted from an outline by Mark A. Copeland) Following a night and morning of torture, ridicule, and mockery, Jesus was taken away to be crucified (Mark 14:53-15:25). For six long, horrendous, cruel hours He hung on the cross, and to add insult to injury, He heard the continuing mockery ...read more

    Worthy Is The Lamb! (Revelation 5)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 8, 2024
     | 1,212 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ has all things and events under His Divine and Sovereign control. He has the final word on how everything will conclude. No amount of evil on the world's part will stop Him from His mission to "make all things new".

    I sometimes think that when we study the book of Revelation, we tend to focus upon the impending judgments of the wicked and the horrendous consequences that follow. While God's wrath is certainly a major theme of the book, we must remember that the book of Revelation is also a book of ...read more

    encouraging the church to rise up and do whatever it takes to rescue the Lost from Destruction.

    RESCUE THE PERISHING! Proverbs 24:10-12 The heart of these 3 verses is the burden on the believers to rescue the lost and keep them from going to Hell. These verses are a cry to rise up and do whatever we can to bring them to Jesus. 1. A SPIRITUAL CONDITION. Prov 24:10 If you are slack in the ...read more
