    When the end comes, it will become clear who those people are whose faith is truly in Jesus, and it will become clear who those are who have been just playing a religious game.

    When I was a kid, weeding the garden was one of my least favorite activities. It was often hot out there and my back would hurt from bending over. Worst of all, I thought it was monotonous work, so often I did not pay real close attention to what I was doing. And, sure enough, I would sometimes ...read more

    We need a fresh infilling of the power of the Holy Ghost if we are going to have anything to give to a lost and dying world.

    SUCH AS I HAVE… by Pastor James May There are so many times when we feel inadequate to the task that God has set before us. How often do we find ourselves at a loss for words in times of tragedy? How many times do we feel absolutely helpless in the face of overwhelming grief in the loss of a ...read more

    God became a man so that He could die for our sins.

    John’s Gospel has been called the Gospel of Decision.

    Contributed by James Jackson on Dec 16, 2019
     | 4,467 views

    With all the emphasis on angels during the Christmas season, we need to sort out what the Bible says about what angels are, what angels do, and what part they play in the Christmas story.

    Please hear these words from Luke 1:26-38 26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed[a] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, ...read more

    How’s your bucket list?

    based on 34 ratings
     | 8,427 views

    Where we see a problem, God sees potential for a miracle. We just have to have the nerve to ask God to do the impossible.

    Mercy is not just you scratch my back I scratch yours. It is doing everything we can and expecting nothing in return

    Have Mercy Matt. 5:7 Illustration: Millions of people were gathered before the Throne of God. Some of the groups near the front talked heatedly and were belligerent. “How can God judge us, they asked?” God is in heaven where all is beauty and light, what does He know about ...read more

     | 6,261 views

    Nine words that begin with the letter "I", which defeat the true power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    As we look at the actions or inaction’s of life, and especially in the Church, we can see some REASONS for why things happen or don’t happen.....and we also can see some EXCUSES for why things happen or don’t happen. A. When I first thought of this subject, I was narrowly applying ...read more

     | 2,682 views

    The Christian faith is founded on the confession that Jesus has Risen. If the Tomb that has been making all the news lately is that of Jesus, what impact does it have on the Christian Faith? Can we still believe?

    The Jesus Family Tomb: Have we found the bones of Jesus? John 20:1-18 A few weeks ago, on March 4th, the Discovery Channel aired a documentary entitled “The Lost Tomb of Jesus.” If you saw it, you may have noticed right up front that it was very well done.

    Forgiveness Must Have A Face

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Sep 22, 2013
     | 4,705 views

    There's nothing more important to a Christian than forgiveness. It is the basis of our salvation, and we can't love one another as He loved us without forgiving one another. Therefore, we need to understand what forgiveness is and what it is not.

    "When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way... so I stole a bicycle... and asked him to forgive me." Well, there are 100s of jokes about forgiveness- the one I read is by Emo Phillips- and there are legions of people who ...read more

    Sermon 3 in a study in Philippians

    “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus” I had the thought of opening this sermon with a great quote by a successful military leader from history, pertaining to the mindset of a well-trained soldier; or perhaps a political figure who had overcome great difficulties.
