There Is No Other Gospel Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 10, 2015

Law And Gospel Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

A knife is good for cutting your meat, but bad for cleaning your eyes and ears. Every good thing can be used in a way that is improper, and then it become harmful and dangerous, and so it is with the law.

There is mystery enough in life without us adding unnecessary mysteries of our own making. For example, like the woman who evicted a man from her boarding house, and when she was asked why she did it she said, "Something mysterious is going on when a man hangs his hat over the key hole every ...read more

Post-Modernism Is Dead, Jesus Is Alive

Clearing The Air About The Sacred Calling

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 12, 2021

This is no time for any man of God or serious Christian to be shy, hesitant, compromising, or half-hearted in our commission from the Lord Jesus Christ to go out into the world and preach His gospel. Today is the day to be bold for the kingdom of God.

Fellow preachers and servants in Christ, I must admit that it seems as if we are proclaiming the truth of the Gospel to stone walls these days. I have never seen such indifference and apathy in people concerning the state of their souls as I do now. We see and hear of so-called ...read more

Are You Willing To Be Nobody

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 17, 2021

Everyone wants to win 3000 in a day and have the largest church in their country, but God has more nobodies than superstars.

There is an old country song that said, “I’m chasin’ the neon rainbow, livin’ the honky tonk dream.” Very few artists find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow making their dream come true.

The Wicked Tenants (October 8, 2017).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

The text for today is almost a mirror image of how religious leaders who were so called qualified, failed miserably for those who relied on their leadership.

Plateaued, Be A Refresher

Unanswered Prayer (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Feb 28, 2023

God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

Three weeks ago, we studied how God invites us to ask Him. Therefore, do not hesitate to ask for something or express our wishes to God. The Lord Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you." (Matthew 7:7). If so, why are there prayers that God does not answer? You may have ...read more
