The Lord Is My Shepherd Series

Contributed by J.d. Tutell on Jan 3, 2011

The relationship of the shepherd and the sheep is much deeper than many of us realize.

It’s interesting that the 23rd Psalm is one of the most loved and familiar passages in the Bible and yet so many people live their lives as if the version that I just read is true rather than the one in the Bible. We can live with such a wonderful sense of denial about the things of God and ...read more

He Leads Me Series

Contributed by J.d. Tutell on Jan 10, 2011

The shepherd must provide freedom for the sheep to find rest and providing them with still water comes at great cost to the shepherd.

As we continue to walk through the 23rd Psalm we see that David knew who would provide for him. The answer was God. Last week we looked at the first verse, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” We saw that this verse contains the beautiful promise that God will provide for our needs. We ...read more

Overrun Or Overwatch Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Mar 30, 2009

When Israel went "over the line," God had to pull back his protective "overwatch." We need to be certain that we are depending upon God instead of other answers.

Students of military tactics will have recognized the two terms in my title for today’s sermon. The first refers to a superior force finding a weak point in the enemy’s defenses and rolling right over and through the enemy without having to stop for a pitched engagement. The aggressor defeats the ...read more

David And Goliath--Part 3 Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 17, 2019

Follow Me (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

Paul loved the Philippian people, and he was greatly concerned about them. He told them, "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample."

WHY DID PAUL TELL THEM TO FOLLOW HIM? If anyone had examined the life of the apostle Paul, they would have discovered that he was following the Lord Jesus. Paul was giving them a PHYSICAL EXAMPLE or MODEL of what it is to follow Jesus. Someone very wisely said, "Don't follow any leader ...read more

A Faith Worth Fighting For - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Apr 26, 2023

Open back up to Jude. Last week we discussed some introductory matters (vv 1-4). Jude is one of the most neglected books of the Bible because of its brevity, difficult subject matter (judgment of false teachers), and its reference to non-canonical books (we will address that today).
