    What’s Your Focus?

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Oct 11, 2021
     | 2,987 views

    We all know what sins are, but let me focus for a moment on those hindrances. Hindrances (Weights) are those things that may not be sins, but still keep you from living a life totally surrendered to God.

    What’s Your Focus? Hebrews 12:1-2NKJV We all know what sins are, but let me focus for a moment on those hindrances. Hindrances (Weights) are those things that may not be sins, but still keep you from living a life totally surrendered to God. Imagine you are at a track meet, and they’re lining up ...read more

    What is your race? Key Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-11 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the auhor and ...read more

     | 25,329 views

    Whether you are a sun, moon, star, or a 5 talent, 2 talent, or 1 talent person, a lamp or a candle on a stand, you are important. You have a job to do that only you can do. And God expects you to let your light shine.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. I would like to weave together 3 passages of Scripture. The first one is Genesis 1:14-16. "And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, & let them serve as signs to mark ...read more

    The Ten Commandments: The Soul Of America!

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 15, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,102 views

    One of the Ten Commandments tells us not to have any other gods before Almighty God… but our nation is serving many gods. What would America be like if we obeyed the Ten Commandments? There would be a revival of holiness.

    And God spoke all these words, "I am the Lord your God Who brought you out of Egypt. Out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me." The laws that God gave to Moses thousands of years ago at Mount Sinai seems to have been forgotten today. The same laws our founding ...read more

     | 1,418 views

    How many events and programs does the church hold that do NOT make disciples for Christ? Resources should be directed to the mission - making disciples for Christ.

    Why are you cooking chili? Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 11:15-19 The Temple leaders allowed vendors to set up inside the Temple. A good question for that time would have been why did the Temple authorities allow the money changers and vendors into the outer court. The merchants could have ...read more

    The last teaching of Christ remains the priority of every believer and every assembly: to make disciples of Christ.

    Introduction to the Reading of the Scripture I want to preach from Matthew 28.16-20. It is a very familiar passage and is all but taken for granted during Mission Conferences. Like John 3.16 and a few others, the passage is so popular that it is liable to being dismissed by those who have heard ...read more

    Have you ever been asked if you are saved? A Roman jailer asked “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30)

    Everyone knows this is an important question-- How to be saved is the most important quest of any human life. This quest begins when a man or woman first realizes their true state before a holy God. The Apostle Paul and Silas had been carrying the Gospel to Europe. In Macedonia they went to ...read more

     | 3,283 views

    America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many religions and beliefs in our country today. The only God America has rejected is the God of the Bible. The Ten Commandments are the very soul of America. This is why the Ten Commandments are so important to the people of God.

    If you have your Bible, turn to Exodus chapter 20. Today, we are going to begin a sermon series called, "The Ten Commandments: The Soul of America", starting with the message, "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods". America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many ...read more
