Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2024

Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more

God, Are You Sure?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

Chapter five of Exodus teaches us it is the will of God for man to live and worship God in freedom.

In Exodus 4, we saw the RELUCTANT PROPHET that came up with all kinds of excuses for why he could not be God’s man to lead Israel out of Egypt. In Exodus 5, Moses became willing to obey God in the PERMISSIVE WILL OF GOD, BUT NOT THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD. The PERFECT WILL OF GOD was for God to ...read more

An Extraordinary Commission (Part 2)

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 25, 2025

Jesus gave His disciples a commission to go and preach; to not only do good deeds, but use words. He would provide them food, clothing, and shelter for their journey, and the Spirit would guide them to those receptive to the gospel.

I have entitled our sermon this morning, “An Extraordinary Commission,” and this will be Part 2. The word “extra-ordinary” means “outside, above and beyond the ordinary,” which is what we saw in our last message, when Jesus gave His disciples “power over unclean spirits” (Matthew 10:1); and ...read more

The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

MESSAGE – THE TWO PILLARS OF GODLY SUPPORT: BELIEF AND LOVE - 1John 3:23 We will be looking at a verse in the first letter of John but just to place it into context we will look at 4 verses – {{1 John 3 v 21-24, but it is verse 23 that is our focus. 1John 3 v 21 “Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more

Enemies: Don't Deny It, You Do Have Them

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 2, 2023

We like to pretend we are far too nice to have enemies. But the bible is realistic. It doesn't try to pretend we don't have enemies. Instead it tells us how God wants us to treat them...

Who is your enemy? Who is your enemy? You are probably going to reply to me “I don’t have any enemies….” Afterall it hardly seems very nice to have enemies? “Live peaceably with all” said our reading (at least if I cut out the words that came before) Surely if I am a Christian I am not allowed to ...read more

Signs And The Son

Be Cautious About Judging Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

When believers criticize each other, it can actually drive people away from the church. Jesus warned about the consequences of criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement.

This morning we are going to look at the spiritual issue of judging others. The applicable definition for the word “judge” in our main passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often ...read more
