Esther Becomes Queen

Contributed by John Hamby on Jun 27, 2018

God worked no miracles but worked through the seemingly unremarkable circumstances of life to accomplish His extra-ordinary purpose!

“Esther Becomes Queen” Esther 2:1-23 We sometimes hear statements like; “As fate would have it” or “It just so happened” but in reality they reveal a basic lack of under-standing about the sovereignty of God. God is at work in every area of our lives; without violating our ability to choose and ...read more

The New Birth

Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Nov 24, 2022

Millions of people consider themselves to be Christian. Many believe they have converted to Christianity, but is that the case? Just because some may call themselves Christian and have their names written on a church membership list, does that guarantee that they are converted Christians?

The Truth about Conversion India has six major religions – Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Sikhism, where Hindus form 80% of the population and others are minorities. There are also States in India with majority populations of other religions like in J&K, where we have a ...read more

A. Let me begin with a question this morning: How many of us here today want to escape God’s judgment and wrath against sin? 1. We all want to escape God’s judgment and wrath against sin, don’t we? 2. But how can we do that? How can we make sure God’s judgment and wrath don’t fall on us? B. Let ...read more

Should We Shun

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 17, 2018

There is a need to return to the concept of shunning. Indeed, we should shun those whose politics are against Scripture even if they are called Brethren,

Having spent some time around Amish and Mennonites, I know they are pretty much the only groups that still practice shunning. Most are probably afraid of lawsuits, spitting the church or have a slightly off view of grace/love. We speak truth in love and some times we need to practice tough love ...read more

God Loves A Cheerful Giver

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 18, 2021

The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more
