    Most Christians believe that God is sovereign, however when it comes to the bad and ugly things we face in life we seem to think that God is not in control of those. A honest look at God

    PROVIDENCE Matthew 6:25-34; 10:29-30 It has been in the back of my mind for quite some time now that something is wrong with our general perception of God – generally speaking of course. You only need to open the newspapers, or read the comments of friends and acquaintances to realise that ...read more

    Our command therefore for living rightly is simple: believe in Jesus Christ and love one another as He has commanded. It’s in the fruit of our lives where we see whether or not this is being lived out.

    Everytime God’s Word is shared, there is a verdict in people’s hearts. What’s the verdict in your heart?

    Acts 17:1-12: SO WHAT’S THE VERDICT? Recently in the news, there’s the story of the actor, Robert Blake. Maybe you’ve heard about this one – a famous actor living in California – married to the wrong person. His wife is shot and killed, and now, the police say that the evidence is pointing ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,928 views

    The disciples were confused and didn’t really believe the resurrection. Yet in each gospel account Christ gave them proof so they could believe. What proof do we need to really believe what we say we believe?

    What Will It Take? Luke 24:13-49 Easter 3B “Forget what you learned in elementary school--the earth is flat as a pancake. All that stuff about the earth being round and the sun being the center of the universe is a big joke,” insisted C.K. Johnson in a 1979 interview. Mr. Johnson was president ...read more

     | 8,073 views

    The definition of God's grace is very simple: It is God's favor even when we do not deserve it. It's been given through Jesus Christ, we are called to live for Him after we receive it, and then we are to show it to others who need it as well.

    What is Grace? Grace Sermon Series, Part 1 Titus 2:11-14 - We have two baptisms after the service … A GREAT DAY! Introduction - The word translated "grace" in the New Testament comes from the Greek: -- It is the word “charis”, which means “favor, blessing, or ...read more

    Standing Up For What’s Right

     | 23,183 views

    Sometimes we have to stand up for what's right. We need to remember that God knows our plight, we need to fear God above people, and we need to humbly take a stand. The Hebrew midwives in Egypt stood up to Pharaoh, and God remembered them for it.

    Exodus 1:8-21 Standing Up for What’s Right Recently I watched the movie, “Hacksaw Ridge.” It documents the true story of Private First Class Desmond Doss, who enlisted as an Army medic during World War II, but refused for religious reasons to carry a weapon.

    In 2 Kings there is an interesting story about a Syrian general, a Jewish prophet, & his assistant. It is about a pagan who finds God, & a Jew who finds that he hasn’t fooled God.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX ILL. The Gallup Poll organization took a survey a few years ago on the church habits of American people & came up with an interesting statistic. They reported that 6 out of every 10 people surveyed said that they had ...read more

    What Is Greatness?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 669 views

    Jesus our God came to serve. And even to die, to give his life as a ransom for many! To die for us, to empty himself of divine power and authority and serve those in need. That is true greatness.

    I recall a meme I saw online, it had a picture of a janitorial supply cart and it said, "Called to ministry? This will be your first pulpit." Truer words were never spoken. My first five years in ministry I mopped a lot of floors, and believe me, I expect more floors in the future. ...read more

    Taking God’s name in vain is more than just using or avoiding certain words in your language. It starts there, but it includes your actions too.

    June 25, 2000 Exodus 20:7 “What’s in a name?” INTRODUCTION Last Saturday, Tammy, Victoria, Ben, Erica and I decided to go on a picnic together up at Prickett’s Fort State Park.
