    Joseph: A Dreamer In Prison Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 12, 2022
     | 5,488 views

    Joseph did not need to wait until he was standing before Pharaoh and put in charge of the whole land. Faithfulness to God is always the right path. Joseph needed to trust God the whole time he was the forgotten prisoner. And he did!

    There are so many aspects to the story of Joseph. He is the favorite son of the Patriarch Jacob. His brothers burn with jealousy and hatred toward him because his ten older brothers know he is the favored one of his father. The special ornamented coat Jacob gave Joseph made that evident. The Joseph ...read more

    God waits to give us a new beginning, a fresh start. Maybe we're in the middle of a year, a hard year--the year 2020. However, COVD won't have the final say. God will.

    New Beginnings—It’s Not Clichés.

    The Beast From The Earth: The False Prophet And His Diabolical Work (Revelation 13:11-18)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 832 views

    The False Prophet uses false "miracles and signs" to convince the world that the Antichrist is the leader for whom they have been waiting. He is a tool of Satan used to draw people away from the truth of the Gospel and towards the certainty of hell.

    The Antichrist, who was introduced in Revelation 13;1-10, will not rise to power alone. His success will result from a worldwide spiritual deception perpetuated by the man referred to in Revelation 13:11-18 as, "the beast from the earth", known as the False Prophet. He will be a ...read more

    Gone Fishing

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023
     | 2,085 views

    What did the disciples do after Jesus' miraculous resurrection? They went fishing! But this passage teaches us that it’s okay to get on with our lives while waiting for Jesus to make it clear what it is we are to do for him.

    I’ll bet not one of you can tell me exactly what happened to the disciples after that first Easter morning, and in what order. And it’s not surprising. I would have had a hard time putting together a chronology of events if I hadn’t had to preach on the subject, and even then there’s a little ...read more

    Faith And Patience: Inheriting The Promises Of God

    Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Jan 3, 2025
     | 2,083 views

    Faith gives us the vision to see God’s promises, and patience gives us the strength to wait for His perfect timing. Together, they helps us remain anchored during the storms of life and focused when the answers seem delayed.

    Even as we start the new year, we probably have mixed emotions. On one side we are grateful to God for the year 2024 for God has given us life and protected us throughout this year. On the other side, we might be perplexed about the year 2025. Is the year 2025 going to be better than 2024? Is it ...read more

    Sermon # 9 - Arise From Your Slumber Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,938 views

    Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

    We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...read more

     | 9,522 views

    Some things never change – and Jesus is One of them! He still accepts people!!! He doesn’t wait until they measure up or become nice enough to be accepted. Let's look at some ways God accepts us and learn to accept others!

    Accepted! John 6:37 “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.” Intro: One of the greatest needs people have is arguably the need for acceptance. That doesn’t necessarily mean acceptance of everything a person thinks or ...read more

    David had already defeated them once, you’d think he’d feel confident he could ‘do it again.’ But David inquired of the Lord, and God told him to circle behind them and wait for the sound of angels marching before he attacked!

    War lurks on the horizon for the United States. The talk of war and peace is deafening as the lines are drawn in our own nation by those who believe we should "act" and those who believe we should "wait." In 2 Chronicles 20:1-19, King Jehoshaphat took a
