Children Of The Devil

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 6, 2022

Our earthly heritage isn't important, but our spiritual heritage is. Just as we reflect the image of our earthly fathers – so also we reflect the image of our spiritual father. If you want to know whether you’re a child of God or a child of the devil – just take a look in the mirror.

Jesus says, ‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (v44) I wonder ...read more

Fatal Attraction

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Oct 25, 2022

Most of the church today is being enticed by a fatal attraction that is pulling them away from God. What is a fatal attraction? A fatal attraction is that which in the beginning seems attractive and irresistible, but in the end, it will totally destroy you.

Turn to Exodus the 20th chapter as we delve into the Word of God with this sermon, "The Fatal Attraction". Consider the barrage of benefits to America if we would obey the Ten Commandments. Overnight, this nation would be completely different. We would be honoring the God of the Bible ...read more

Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

The Legacy Of Jabez

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022

It is interesting to listen to people pray. Each person has his own unique way of expressing himself to God.

Illus: For example, a man in Columbia, South Carolina, was led to the Lord late in life. He was a slow talking southerner. When he prayed publicly, everyone enjoyed listening to him because of his slow southern drawl, and because he was sincere. When he prayed it sounded like he was having a ...read more

There are also States in India with majority populations of other religions like in J&K, where we have a ...read more
