God Uses The Unexpected

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Once we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and as we come to know the Lord by spending time with Him, we will reach a point in our life where our love will overflow in a desire for service. It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

Shields Of Brass Or Gold?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022

Here, the Scripture portrays an Israelite king substituting true godliness with a cheap imitation in an attempt to fool the people of Israel into believing that the nation still had favor with God. But in reality, Israel was falling apart.

Some of the insights contained in this evening’s message were inspired by O. S. Hawkins’ book Shields of Brass or Shields of Gold?

No Condemnation In Christ: Romans 8:1-4 Series

It's one of the most stunning truths of Scripture: We can and will face the consequences of our sin, but we will never face the punishment for our sin. Christ already has.

Of Whom The World Was Not Worthy Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 28, 2021

The Bible has always been honest with us about the potential dangers of discipleship. It speaks of the real possibilities of abuse, prison and even death. Is there ever a time when it's NOT worth it to be a Christian?

Who Gets Your Blessing? Series

Contributed by Brandon Vernoy on Aug 13, 2016

We do not obtain the blessings of God because we deserve them. We obtain them because He loves us and it brings Him glory.

Who Gets Your Blessing? One of the most dramatically unqualified biblical heroes I can think of is Jacob. He was a liar, a con, a trickster, a fraud.
