Paul's Postcard To Philemon

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013

Philemon is a very short epistle (a postcard). But as short as it is, there are many great lessons we can learn from it.

Philemon was a faithful servant ...read more

Another Feast In The Desert Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 8, 2017

It is easy to see the Lord work in a mighty way and yet forget as soon as a similar situation comes along. The disciples witnessed Jesus feed a multitude, and yet when facing another multitude that needed fed, they doubted. We must walk by faith,

Another Feast in the Desert Mark 8: 1-9 In our text today we read of the second time our Lord miraculously fed thousands of people with a meager supply of food.

Faith In Healing

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 1, 2023

Everything in Mark chapter 5 concerns itself with healing and restoration: from the healing and restoring of a demon possessed man to the resurrection of a little girl. In-between these two healings are that of the woman with the twelve-year issue of blood.

Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may ...read more

The Wise And Foolish Man Series

Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 10, 2023

We have all sang the song, and we all know this story, but we can still learn something new from Jesus today when we hear Him speak to us about how the wise and foolish man built their houses on the rock and the sand...and how this impacts their foundations...

So, a few weeks ago we started a new sermon series called the Sermon on the mount. I love this series because we honestly get to see Jesus’ ministry at it’s core…we see Him speaking to His followers, His people, and we hear exactly what He is all about…we also get a glimpse into the type of teacher ...read more

Understanding The Rapture Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 8, 2023

Study #3: This study looks at the two most prominent views on the Rapture. Ultimately, however, no one knows the exact day or the specifics of when it will occur. What matters is that we are prepared for that Day by knowing Jesus Christ.

In our last study we looked at the Seven Churches of Asia to arrive at the conclusion that we are now entering the last days. There is a succession of events that must take place during the last ...read more
