Sermons on World Leader:

The Unseen Battle Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

In addition to a prayer of repentance, Daniel also offered up a prayer for the release of the Jews from their captivity in Babylon. Yet, the answer to his prayer was delayed, and it had something to do with an unseen battle.

In Daniel chapter 9 (which I said would be our last message in this series) we see where Daniel took it on himself to intercede on behalf of all the people of Israel who were in captivity in Babylon; and Daniel was just one individual, yet the Lord heard his supplication. Daniel’s prayer reminds ...read more

The Birth Of A Church Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

The Abc’s Of Prayer

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Oct 27, 2019

Finding peace during a struggle, is like trying to find calm in a hurricane. But just like there is calm in the eye of the hurricane, we can find peace and calm right in the middle of our struggles.

Illustration by James Chandler It started as a slip up during a prayer before a church softball game. The minister was leading everyone in prayer. As he closed in prayer he accidently said, "In Jesus’ name we play." That phrase caught on and soon others were praying before softball games ...read more

A Failure To Believe Series

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 16, 2019

In Romans chapter 10, Paul explains that the majority of the Jews had missed the salvation turning point of history. They didn't understand that Jesus was the end of the law, and tripped over the stumbling stone of Christ. They failed to believe in Jesus.

A. When it comes to salvation, there are many paradoxes and ironies that go with it. 1. Salvation is free, but it costs everything. 2. Salvation is available to all, but few receive it. 3. Salvation is something that everyone needs, but few recognize it. B. So when we talk about salvation and ...read more
