Who Is Causing The Trouble?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 4, 2022

There are many things a congregation of this size will disagree on, but one thing we all would agree on is that we live in a world that has a lot of trouble.

What we need to do is find out WHO IS CAUSING ALL THE TROUBLE! For example, we constantly hear about the TROUBLE we are having in our schools in America. Consider the shootings, cursing, fighting, rebellion, and low academic achievements. This may sound simplistic, but anyone with common sense ...read more

The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

As seasons shift, many of us need a reset with Jesus. John 21 shows the risen Christ meeting drifting disciples, filling empty nets, and inviting them to “come and have breakfast.” This isn’t box-checking; it’s returning to the One who seeks us, provides for us, and re-commissions us.

Can you feel it in the air? That subtle shift as summer fades into fall? Me either. But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

Why Did God Swear An Oath About Jesus’ Priesthood? - Psalm 101:4 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 19, 2025

We talk a lot about Jesus as the lamb who was the sacrifice for our sin. But what about his role as priest? How does his priestly work for you shake out on a daily basis? In this study, we're going to see a side of Christ you may not have considered.

Solid Food The last two sessions, we looked at the first half of Psalm 110 and the second half. The first half—Messiah rules among his enemies as sovereign king. Then verse 4 about priesthood in the order of Melchizedek. That verse is weird, doesn’t seem to fit the theme, strange reference to an ...read more

Contributed by Rick Long on Feb 12, 2004

First in the series "Meet the Cast." Mary’s life as we see her through scripture and through this amazing film, teaches us a great deal about how to trust God in times of crisis.

In Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of the Christ” we are introduced to the story of Jesus of Nazareth’s last 12 hours in a very vivid, graphic and brutally honest way. For many of us who have devoted our lives to sharing the gospel, this was, in some way, vindication. Because no matter how much ...read more

The Power Of Faith Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Jan 4, 2001

When our faith is properly anchored in Christ it makes a noticable difference in our lives, qualifies us to be God’s ministers, and brings us God’s salvation.

Americans have a love/hate relationship with faith. One the one hand people in our culture admire people who have a strong faith. Success literature tells us, "If you believe it, you can achieve it."
