    The Mode Of Baptism

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 20, 2022
     | 1,819 views

    What does the Bible mandate about the mode of baptism?

    Eisegesis is a bad way to read the Bible. It means to read into the text things that are actually not there at all. One common example is reading that Jesus came up out of the water after being immersed. The text simply does not say that at all. “So Jesus was baptized. And as soon as he came out ...read more

    The Need For Unity

    Contributed by Larry Benton on Jun 28, 2022
     | 2,732 views

    Without Unity, the church will lose it's light. It will no longer be able to show the light of Christ to a lost world.

    THE NEED FOR UNITY We are told that the church is to be salt and light, a beacon to a lost world. But we will lose our light, our mission if there is not unity in our church. Let us look this morning at how Jesus wants his earthly body, the church, to function. But first let us pray. Prayer 1 ...read more

     | 3,128 views

    In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus delivers teachings that challenge the status quo and redefine the principles of God's kingdom. Among these teachings is the command to love our enemies—a call that transcends human understanding and reflects the transformative nature of God's love.

    Hannah

    The story of Hannah is not well known and today it is given as an alternative reading to the more familiar story of Samuel’s call. So, let us dive into this tale of Hannah.

    Hannah is a young woman, married to Elkanah. But she is not his only wife, Elkanah has another wife called Peninnah. Hannah is his first wife, but she has not been blessed with children, we are told twice that the Lord had “closed her womb” (vs. 5, 6). In contrast to Hannah, Peninnah (whose ...read more

How do we deal with the shame that comes from that? - It’s an ancient problem that has troubled people since pretty much the beginning of time. - This morning I want to again look at ...read more

    Forced To Do It

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 12, 2024
     | 809 views

    Just because culture and society says it is good to do even though it breaks God's law, we should not do it!

Koplitz Luke 3:7 So he began saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “aYou brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 “Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and ado not begin to say 1to ...read more

    How To Stand When It Is Difficult To Stand (2 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021
     | 1,293 views

    Preaching is a fascinating career. When a preacher first starts to preach, he soon begins to think he knows all about preaching. Then, after 5 or 10 years, he discovers how very little he knows about being a minister of the gospel.

    What a tremendous advantage it is to have a veteran minister take him under his wings, and teach him things he needs to know. Illus: Such is the case, when Dr. Odell Belger was starting in the ministry, as a young man in his mid twenties. When he was called to a church, the church had just had a ...read more

    Apocalypse Of The Church

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jan 25, 2022

Koplitz Mark 13:14-23 14 “But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 “aThe one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in ...read more

    God is patient, but His patience is limited. He can get to a point of disgust, disgust which is then followed by His wrath.

    A Disgusted God (Isaiah 5:1-30) 1. Mary received a parrot as a gift. The parrot was fully grown with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was profanity.
