Contrast Of Testimonies Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 3, 2024

Can you picture a contrast of testimonies in your mind? A situation where there was a believer with a good testimony and one with a bad testimony. John contrasts two church leaders and mentions their testimonies that are complete opposites.

Don’t you like the old western cowboy movies when you knew who the good guy was and who was the bad guy. You can pick them out easily in those old movies because the good guy wears the white hat, and the bad guy wears the black hat. This letter makes it obvious who the good guy is and who is the ...read more

The Tribulation Period Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 28, 2023

Study #7: This study looks at the symbolism of the Third Temple, the Two Witnesses, the Woman, the Child, and the Great Dragon. The long-time battle between good and evil culminates during the last half of the Tribulation.

NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture.

Equipping Of The Saints

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 15, 2023

Usually, each Sunday, I ask two questions, but today there are a few more questions: Why are you here today? Not here @ CPC, but here on earth? Why were you given this day?

Here’s what I believe: Because as Christians, God’s not done with you yet. Now, if you haven’t accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, we’ll visit about that a bit later. Maybe you’ve asked yourself that question in a different form- Do I have a calling? Am I fulfilling my calling? What are my ...read more

Is God In Control - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Dec 27, 2023

NOTE: New Light Faith Ministries and Barry Johnson Ministries, founded by brothers Rodney V. Johnson and Barry O. Johnson, respectively, are partnering to offer Bible studies for Christians who are seeking to grow in their relationship with Jesus. This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The ...read more

Praying The Word

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Mar 12, 2020

The word of God is quick and powerful.. It is sharper than any two edged sword. The word of God is his will. When we pray the word of God, we pray his will for our lives.

Prayer is the heart cry of man to God. It is believers communicating with thier father and getting a response from him. When we pray according to God's will, he answers and grants our petitions. When we however pray amiss we may not get what we desire. James 4 vs 3 says: "Ye ask and ...read more

Israel had taken control of much of Canaan. Two and a half tribes lived east of the Jordan River and decided to build a memorial altar for a witness of unity. When asked to explain, they replied honestly.

The Memorial Altar in Gilead (This message is based on a sermon preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on Sunday evening, May 25, 2025 and is not an exact transcription).

Victory Over Worries

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Nov 30, 2020

People become victims of GAD as a result of pathological worrying, People worry and people develop worry in two different forms according to research. Worries are stored in our minds as images and in verbal form.

I do not know how you perceive, but to me, anything Bible teaches is not a giving us suggestions but a command. If we have learned to avoid unbiblical practices, our life would be much happier. The first step to finding an answer to your worry is knowing what is a concern and what is a worry. ...read more

Sermon On A Double Life

Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 25, 2024

A double life could be considered as a twin existence, or leading the life of a double-minded person who amalgamates two fallacious entities in one, but ensures that both are conspicuously segregated from each other.

Stephanie Klein, an American strategist and consultant once remarked: “If someone wants to lead a double life, they will find a way to do it. And they can promise you things until your nerves unfold and you can finally put up your feet. But it can all be a lie. There are no guarantees, even when ...read more

Wisdom From Solomon About Wisdom Itself

Contributed by Luke Vasicek on Sep 22, 2024

There is perhaps no stronger theme in Proverbs than Wisdom itself. It starts and ends the book–like two bookends, it encompasses all in between. Let’s look at how Christians are to feel toward wisdom.

God’s Will for You: Wisdom from Solomon about Wisdom Itself There is perhaps no stronger theme in Proverbs than Wisdom itself.

God Uses The Ordinary To Do The Extraordinary

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 24, 2025

It is amazing how some things never change. For example, when Christ was here on earth they had two kinds of men, as we have today. • They had the ordinary man • They had the extraordinary man

It never ceases to amaze me the people that God chooses to do His work. Such as… (1) David. In 1 Samuel 16:1-12 we read how… • Saul had been rejected as king and God sent Samuel to anoint a new king. Vs. 1-3 • Samuel went. Vs. 4-5 • Jesse and his sons were summoned to the sacrifice vs ...read more

Peace & Joy: Keeping It Real Series

Contributed by Michael Mays on Sep 14, 2021

We often hold inaccurate perspectives on things. Paul reminds us today of a few things: the importance of real joy, the power of real peace, and the disciple's mentality that secures these two.

I. Intro: Perspective A. Newsweek magazine recently made a side-by-side comparison of "threats" of which people have an inaccurate perspective: 1. Murders: 14,180 (2008)—Suicides: 33,289 (2006) 2. Children abducted by strangers: 115 (1999)—Children who drown in pools: 288 ...read more

Ideal Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Most women play two major roles in life, and they are being a wife and being a mother. In the role of wife she is to be submissive to her husband, and in the role of mother she is to be sovereign over her children

A young man went into a bookstore in Boston and asked the clerk if she had the book Man, The Master Of Women. The pretty salesgirl merely tossed her head and said, "You'll have to look for that in the fiction department." In the battle of the sexes modern women feel they are gaining ...read more

Alone, Yet Not Alone Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

The title of my message is a paradox, for to say, alone, yet not alone seems to contradict itself. How can two opposites be true? How can one be alone and yet not alone at the same time?

Bjornsen, the great Norwegian poet, who received the Nobel Prize for literature was once asked what incident in his life gave him the most pleasure. He replied that is was an occasion when his house was attacked and his windows broken. This sounds slightly odd and paradoxical, but before you jump ...read more

One Bride For Seven Brothers

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 2, 2022

This story is very important because in it Jesus confronted the great error that there will be marriage in Heaven and, by extension, that angels could ever have sex with humans. These two things are widely held even today.

ONE BRIDE FOR SEVEN BROTHERS Luke 20:27-40 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE GARLIC REMEDY 1. Soon after Bernard reached his 110th birthday, a Houston Chronicle reporter visited him looking for a story. "So, Bernard," asked the reporter, "to what do you think you owe your ...read more
