Finding True Blessedness (Part 2) Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 30, 2023

This message covers the last six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 2).” As we get started, I should remind us that the words of Jesus seen in our passage are called “The Beatitudes,” and that the word “beatitude” comes from a Latin term meaning “blessedness.”(1) But the term “blessed” used ...read more

Rolling Stones

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 2, 2022

One of major problems most people face today are blocked entrances or exits. You see, we’re caught in tombs with stones covering them, and these stones keep us from entering the light of an abundant life Jesus came to give, which is what the resurrection of Jesus is all about.

Rolling Stones Mark 16:1-8 Now, I knew the danger of naming today’s study, “Rolling Stones,” because many of you immediately thought of the English rock band by the same name with Mick Jagger and the crew. Or maybe you also thought about the monthly magazine from the 60’s whose focus was ...read more

The Blessing

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

When something good happened to us or to someone we know, we associate it to blessing, and we feel like blessing others too. So, what blessing really is? What does it mean to be blessed by God?

#Blessed, #IAmBlessed, #GratefultobeBlessed, these are just few of the most popular hashtags on the internet related to blessing. • A guy was promoted in his job and received a bonus amid recession.

Hope In The Face Of Fear Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

Do you wonder why the Bible included the story of Judas’ suicide inside the pages of the Bible? The reason God included the story of Judas is simple: Not even the betrayal of one of Jesus’ chosen twelve can stop the mission of church.

Today, I want to speak to you on this important topic: “Hope in the Face of Fear.” Isolated from meeting together because of the Coronavirus, we meet for worship online. Of course, there is no substitute for gathering together in person. How I look forward to seeing everyone face to face! I am so ...read more

Jesus tells a most peculiar parable in His day, the Story of a Dishonest Man. It’s is widely considered one of the most difficult parables – if not the most difficult – to understand. And it’s not hard to see why. Jesus’ story got me thinking about a pastor I read about who misled a church out in ...read more

Stand Your Ground! Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 21, 2021

Message teaches the practical application of the metaphor of armor in Eph. 6:10-17. Christians are in a spiritual battle simply because they are Christians. In an increasingly antichristian culture this teaching becomes even more essential.

The title of this message is: Stand Your Ground! There are times and season when the devil’s assaults against believers are more intense than at other times. Scripture not only tells us to be prepared for such times, but also tells us how to be prepared. That’s our subject today. I am an optimist. ...read more
