Loyal Friends Series

Contributed by Brady Boyd on Nov 4, 2021

Jesus And His Name! Series

Contributed by Larry Vollink on Feb 20, 2021

Years ago, Jimmy Swaggart sang a very beautiful song called "The Lovely Name Of Jesus" by Charles B Wycuff. Why is the name of Jesus lovely? Listen!

What an exciting thing to talk about. . . the Name of Jesus! There are so many songs that describe his name as lovely, beautiful, sweet, but also powerful and to be used with authority. The most important verse is when Joseph was told to take Mary and "She shall bring forth a son and shall ...read more

Worship The Lord Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Dec 4, 2022

Many of the Psalms are psalms of worship. Worship is something that has little appeal to the overly practical man. God only accepts worship in spirit & in truth. Therefore we must be instructed on how to worship in a way that pleases God.

Part of this Psalm was written in response to the bringing home of the ark after it had been captured by the Philistines. David was so pleased and this is how he responded. • Worship to God is not merely what you do in church but how you respond to the circumstances that take place in your ...read more

Elevation

Contributed by Gregory Thomas on Jan 13, 2016
