Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Nov 24, 2024

So, do you have some good Thanksgiving memories that keep coming back, year after year? Maybe there is someone that you know or have met at sometime, and memories of them give you reason to be thankful. Such was the case with the apostle Paul.

6 A Fully Known Overcomer Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on May 30, 2025

Living a fake life has its consequences, and one is leading other people astray. Could we have created a deity of Jesus--an idol only of Jesus, but actually do not know the real Jesus? Counterfeit Jesus, faith, and gospels have been around since the resurrection.

I read this story about a Chinese boy who wanted to learn about jade so he went to study with a talented old teacher. This gentle man put a piece of the precious stone into his hand and told him to hold it tight. Then he began to talk of philosophy, men, women, the sun and almost everything under ...read more

Who Will Inherit The Kingdom Of God?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 2, 2025

The Church Of Philadelphia (A Loving Church)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 8, 2025

The church of Philadelphia and Smyrna were two churches that the Lord Jesus did not have any words of condemnation for.

Does this mean they were perfect? Absolutely not! For example, the Bible tells us that Job was perfect and upright man. Does that mean Job was perfect and sinless? No, the only perfect sinless man to walk on this earth was the Lord Jesus. Let me explain how the word PERFECT IS USED IN THE ...read more

When The Cure Looks Like The Curse

Contributed by Patty Groot on Sep 16, 2025

This sermon calls us to lift our eyes from our wounds to Christ...just as the Israelites looked at the bronze serpent, trusting God to transform our places of pain into sources of healing and redemption.

Have you ever had to look at the very thing that hurt you in order to be healed? That sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? We tend to run from pain, not toward it. We avoid the memories that wounded us, the people who betrayed us, the experiences that left us scarred. But what if God invites us, ...read more
