Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 18, 2012

Overcoming the enemy once does not mean he will stop his harassment of us. This is what he is, and what he does. So our posture toward him, both defensively and offensively, needs to become habitual and reflexive. We need to overcome our ignorance of the

Opening illustration: One morning, I watched a rabbit nibble grass in my backyard. He was on the small side, with brown flecked fur and a cotton-puff tail.

Be One! Be Different!

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019

No one is useless in the church. The Holy Spirit gives everyone some gifting that they can contribute. The church needs you.

This is a bit embarrassing to say, but I have this thing about doing the Tribune’s crossword puzzle each day, and I couldn’t finish Saturday’s and it’s bugging me. Maybe you can help me out. Then I can focus on our sermon text. Can you help me for a minute? I got most of it already. This should ...read more

"Having Done All... Stand”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Mar 15, 2019

Notice that the full armor of God that Paul had outlined for every Christian is complete but without back covers meaning to say that a Christian warrior is designed to always equipped to advance, and never given instruction to back down, retreat or surrender.

A world of angels and demons, yet a world that we touch daily as those who have been given not merely a body, but a spirit. This invisible world is difficult to believe in for ...read more

Problems And Prosperity Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Jun 15, 2015

It was inevitable that with the unprecedented growth the church of Jerusalem experienced, conflict and problems would arise. But the disciples acted speedily, and in the process established the principle of shared ministry, which brought even more growth.

Problems and Prosperity Acts Series Chuck Sligh June 14, 2015 TEXT: Turn please in your Bibles to Acts 6. INTRODUCTION In our study of Acts we’ve seen how the church in Jerusalem grew from a small band of followers in the upper room to a large army of believers in a very short time. Look ...read more

Keep Growing

Contributed by Bright Adeyeye on Mar 10, 2020

Guarding The Good Deposit Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 25, 2015

The message explores what Paul meant when he urged Timothy to guard the good deposit. Preachers are point men in the battle to stand firm against error, but the congregation must join them in this task.

“By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.” [1] Servants of Christ demonstrate a dynamic interplay of divine sovereignty and human responsibility in the exercise of the ministry God has assigned each one. One writer, citing an old maxim of the ...read more

Should We Shun

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 17, 2018

There is a need to return to the concept of shunning. Indeed, we should shun those whose politics are against Scripture even if they are called Brethren,

Having spent some time around Amish and Mennonites, I know they are pretty much the only groups that still practice shunning. Most are probably afraid of lawsuits, spitting the church or have a slightly off view of grace/love. We speak truth in love and some times we need to practice tough love ...read more

You Are A Theologian!

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 16, 2020

We often think of theologians as those with high-sounding degrees but in reality we are all theologians in a very general sense. Two questions arise; are we Biblical theologians and are we GOOD Biblical theologians???

You Are A Theologian! Today we will be reading from Deuteronomy 17:14-20 Who are the theologians of this church? Before you answer that, what is a theologian and what is theology? And to answer that requires a two step process. The English word “theologian” comes from two Greek words with an ...read more

Addressing The Realities Of Life Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 23, 2015

Being human is generally a good thing. The temptation in our day is to manipulate or engineer human nature and deny its realities. But a church is about real people, redeemed by Jesus, but fully human — even more human — because of that redemption.

Addressing the Realities of Life (I Timothy 5:1-16) 1. Some people have a sanitized view of life. Life, however, is often less glamourous. 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a ...read more

Positively Not A Hireling

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Nov 26, 2014

Eternal Facts About The Christian Faith

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 2, 2023

Scripture alone defines and sets in place the essential facts about what it means to be an authentic follower of Jesus Christ. Our opinions, preferences, and feelings have no place in what God has said in HIs Word.
