    Correcting Our Double Vision Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,889 views

    This message addresses the problem of spiritual double vision; being focused on the things of God and the things of the world simultaneously. Jesus talks about treasure in heaven or earth; being full or light or darkness; and pursuing God or money.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Correcting Our Double Vision.” Double vision, according to Yale Medicine, is understood as being when someone sees two of the “same” image instead of one.(1) But today, I want us to think of double vision as seeing two “separate” images at the same time. ...read more

    The Heart of Christmas: Hope Isaiah 9:2-7; Matthew 1:18-25; Romans 15:4 Christmas is almost here! It truly is a special time of year.

    Falling Into Hell

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 6, 2022
     | 2,782 views

    In Numbers 16, we have the rebellions of Dathan, Abiram, and Korah warn us about evil associations, show us God's mercy in judgment, and give us a vision into the tragedy of people falling into Hell. Ends with a gripping illustration.

    FALLING INTO HELL Numb. 16:28-34 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An optimist and a pessimist spent a week together on a tropical island. “Isn’t this ocean just amazing?” the optimist said. “The endless horizon, the crashing waves, the soft sand...it makes you appreciate the beauty of our planet.” ...read more

    The roar of God’s holiness thunders through the book of Amos. It is a warning, a call to repentance, but also a signpost pointing us to Jesus Christ—the only One who can rescue us from judgment and bring us into eternal life.

    Go! And Hear the Roar of God A Sermon from the Book of Amos Introduction – The Lion Has Roared Imagine walking through the African savannah at night. The stars are bright above you, the wind is calm, but suddenly… you hear it. The deep, rolling roar of a lion. That sound shakes you. It demands ...read more

    Even mighty prophets face dark valleys. Today, we discover how God meets us in our caves, whispers through our storms, and transforms our deepest struggles into divine purpose.

    The Cave, The Call, The Commission Introduction In the pages of Scripture, few narratives capture the raw humanity of faith more vividly than the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. Here we encounter one of God's most powerful prophets not in a moment of triumph, but in the depths of despair. Just ...read more

    When Paul says "The Time is Short" he warns us 1. Our Life is short; 2. Our Opportunities are Short & 3. The Time Until Christ's Coming will be Short. Are we living like our time is short?

    THE TIME IS SHORT 1 Cor. 7:29 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’ve all heard of the unsettling effect of fracking, possibly causing miniature earthquakes.

    The Moment To Decide

     | 383 views

    Every generation has a defining moral question, often between life and death, but always between good and evil. In the nineteenth century, it was for the right to choose ownership of other humans, or against the exploitation of slaves.

    Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more

    This sermon warns us about double agents on our jobs, in our homes, and even in the church. We must be vigilant and stay in prayer so that we can be aware of the double agents that face us in our lives.

    Introduction: As I began to look at the scripture, I couldn’t help but think about the secret agent called James Bond, 007. I remember the movie called, “Die Another Day” featuring Hallie Berry.

    God reveals Himself as the One true God who redeems Israel, warns them and finally judges them. Israel is called to worship the One and only God, and to show the nations that the Lord their God, the Lord is one. They failed.

    Remember Lot's Wife

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 21, 2025
     | 718 views

    In today’s world, many Christians are like Lot’s wife—divided in their commitment to God, longing for the pleasures of the world while trying to walk the path of righteousness. The story of Lot’s wife teaches us about the dangers of spiritual complacency, disobedience, and attachment to the past.

    REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 17:32 "Remember Lot’s wife." Supporting Texts: Genesis 19:15-26, Matthew 24:37-39, Hebrews 10:38-39, Philippians 3:13-14, 2 Peter 2:6-9 INTRODUCTION The warning given by Jesus in Luke 17:32 is one of the shortest yet most ...read more

    All hope was gone. They went from their precious promised land to the heathen land of Babylon (modern day Iraq). They had been warned repeatedly by God through His prophets, yet they had turned a deaf ear!

    "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of ...read more

    Understand no child of God is exempt from the dark clouds entering into their lives from time to time. The way we view and respond to times of disappointments and discouragements will determine how we press on and are able to persevere with joy.

    I’m going fishing! By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Let me open with the understatement of the year and say, “Life is hard sometimes”.
