Series: Wow! Whose Young Daughter Is That? (Part 4) Where Did Father Elimelech Go Wrong?

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

One thing the Book of Ruth tells us is death of Fatherhood and rise of Motherhood. All the men died – all the women lived. In today's society, fatherhood is on the decline. Elimelech wanted the best for his family. But some things went wrong. He resembles many fathers today.

God's Message To Us In Christ

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 30, 2023

Throughout the ages, God has been seeking men and women who have ears to hear and hearts willing to respond to spiritual truths. In these last days He has spoken to us through the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Is anyone still willing to hear Him?

The Scriptures tell us that God is not silent regarding His presence, His direction, His expectations from us, and the message of salvation He brings to all who will hear and obey Him. He has spoken to us through the wonder of creation (Psalm 19:1-3; Romans 1:18-22), the words of the prophets, ...read more

Family Ties - Mark 3:31-35 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 9, 2023

How is your brotherly relationship with Jesus going? And why is it important? Have you ever thought of Jesus as your son? Why does Jesus call Christian women his mothers 3 times in 2 verses? 1The answers are a huge encouragement! And you will find them in this study.

Mark 3:31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent for him, calling him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” 33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. 34 Then he looked at those seated in ...read more

Why I Don’t Drink Any Alcohol (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 13, 2023

The issue of moderate alcohol consumption is often oversimplified by both sides of the issue. This message seeks to address the issue considering the whole counsel of God rather than a couple of proof texts. As the title implies, abstinence is recommended.

Intro Last week I began sharing with you nine reasons “Why I Don’t Drink Any Alcohol.” In that message we addressed the first three: 1. Drinking a little alcohol easily leads to drinking too much alcohol. It can easily lead to drunkenness which is clearly condemned in Scripture. If you drink a ...read more

Qualifications For Elders Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 1, 2021

Church leaders are to have an 1) Unblemished public reputation (Titus 1:6a) and must qualify in the specific areas of: 2) Sexual morality (Titus 1:6b), 3) Family leadership (Titus1:6c), and finally 4) General character (Titus 1:7–9).

For the greater part of this century, evangelical Christianity has been deeply committed to the battle for doctrinal purity. But in many circles in recent years it has not been as committed to moral purity, even among its leaders. Inevitably the church has experienced erosion of its integrity and ...read more

Face To Face With Lions

Contributed by Daniel Ray Ortega on Aug 22, 2023

Daniel today is known as a prophet of God. He is now an elderly man serving in Babylon for 70 years he had witnessed his friends face adversity and come out FIREPROOF. The bible states that Daniel had a spirit of excellence in Daniel 5:12 which kept him on the cabinet of leadership there in Babylon.

Daniel 6:10-16 10 Although Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he continued to go to his house, which had windows in its upper room open toward Jerusalem, and to get down on his knees three times a day to pray to his God and praise him, just as he had done previously. 11 The ...read more

Greed Series

Benedictine Monks had rules for just how much each monk was to eat in the monastery. But if one monk takes more than his share of the limited food, another monk goes without dinner lunch.

Patience In The Battle

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2023

One of the things that the Church, from my perspective, does not see how patient Satan is when it comes to seeing his destructive agenda manifest in our country and the world. This message examines looks at one example of this.

Let’s open this evening with Hebrews 10:35, the foundational verse for this message. It says, “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” I was raised in a small country church in Tennessee in the 1960s and 1970s. When I say small, I’d ...read more

Why We Are Here

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021

I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

Adaptability

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 25, 2005

Paul’s greatest interest was to preach the gospel and win men and women to Jesus Christ. He summarizes his guiding principle in the words, "I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some" (v. 22). In order to better accomplish his pu

Mary, A Believer

Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 11, 2007

One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree of finality, but we can safely infer that God knew her heart, that she was a young woman of faith, who would agree with God against all odds.

Gabriel, the deliverer of God’s important news, the heavenly postmaster, said, “Mary, rejoice, because you have found favor with God. God is with you, and you are blessed among women.” One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree ...read more
