The Age Of Discouragement

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

The Reality Of Hell

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more

Sermon # 22 - Find Your Strength In God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 23, 2025

Through all the trial and hardships that came to David, he persevered because he found strength in the Lord and walked in His ways. If we too can recall God’s faithfulness and pray fervently, there will be nothing we need fear, because the Lord will stand by us to deliver us from all our troubles.

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jul 9, 2005
