Vessels Of Honor

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 5, 2019

Paul spoke of various vessels within a great house. We are all vessels, belonging to the Master. Each vessel is different, and yet each has potential and is expected to be of use. We are either a vessel of honor or dishonor.

Our text today is yet another example of Paul’s unique and memorable imagery. Knowing the need for committed service, along with the struggle to remain pure and ...read more

Stupid Is As Stupid Does - Why People Reject Common Sense, Sound Doctrine, Facts, And The Truths Of God

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 4, 2022

We are living in an insane world. People hold political power and make stupid laws and mandates. A person who uses reason, logic, and common sense often feels isolated amid all the madness

"The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this: that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever; but you, O Lord, are on high forever. For behold, your enemies, O Lord, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all ...read more

"i Will Be Diligent: Part 2" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2020

The man of God is to not follow trends, fads, feelings, what people would like to hear, or preach messages that make them feel "good", but instead preach the Gospel without compromise or apology and to stay committed no matter what happens.

The previous message based on 2 Timothy began with the definition of diligence.

Mind Your Own Business!

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 11, 2020

If we decide to get involved in another person's business, chances are we will be told to mind our own business. In some cases we should do that but there are other situations when it's appropriate to not mind our own business.
