Overcoming Counterfeit Christianity

Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Jun 18, 2019

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE WANT GOD TO DO WHAT WE BLIEVE TO BE RIGHT, WITHOUT PRAYING THY WILL BE DONE. WE ESSENTIALLY WANT TO BE IN CONTROL, AND NOT GOD. WE BELIEVE WE KNOW, EVEN BETTER THAN GOD WHAT IS BEST FOR US. HOW WRONG WE ARE!

OVERCOMING COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY ROMANS 12:1-8 I THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY, THAT THIS SERIES HAS PROBABLY LEFT A FEW OF YOU SCRATHCING YOUR HEADS AND WONDERING IF THE PASTOR HAS TAKEN A DIVE OFF THE DEEP END. I ASSURE YOU THAT I HAVEN’T, THOUGH AT TIMES YOU MAY BE RIGHT TO WONDER. THE ...read more

Stir Up The Gift

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Mar 28, 2024

What God is looking for is some good old Holy Ghost agitators, someone that is going to help the Spirit of God to move in our life, the life of the church, and the life of God’s people.

I want to say thank’s be to God, that there is still near the sheep a house of mercy, and grace and a pool that supplies every need, like Grace: which keeping from me what I don’t deserve and Mercy which allows me to get what I do deserve. ??As we look at this passage, we see that there was a ...read more

Resurrection Sunday 2019 - The Main Thing

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 20, 2019

No More "but Lord"

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

Elijah’s call on Mount Carmel still confronts us: in a world of divided hearts, choose Christ decisively before silence becomes surrender.

1. The War No One Sees There was no trumpet, no sword, no marching army that morning on Mount Carmel. The battle Israel faced wasn’t visible—it was spiritual. It was a war for allegiance. They still attended worship. They still claimed to be God’s people. But their hearts were split between two ...read more

Chameleon - You Are God's Ambassador Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 8, 2023

This sermon explores the concept of being God's ambassadors, tasked with the mission of reconciling people with God, and seeks to understand how to effectively embody and communicate this role.

We have been in this series called “Chameleon,” where we have spent some time looking into scripture and learning what it looks like to stand out on behalf of Christ.

Lifestyle Repentance

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Oct 18, 2000

Repentance is not just a single act, but a lifestyle choice. This lifestyle is one of fulfillment and joy.

Lifestyle Repentance Repentance is not an ugly word, but it is a positive evaluation that I make so that I can gain God’s plan for my life. Many people have misconceptions of what repentance is. There are three principles of repentance that I want to discuss here. The first two is are a comparison ...read more

"The Characteristics Of False Repentance” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on May 22, 2018

Paul helps us understand false repentance.

Last time, we defined repentance as a change of mind that results in a change of heart that results in a change of action. That is why real repentance is all about turning my life around. We focused on verse 10, where Paul says repentance leads to salvation. For the unbeliever, repentance leads ...read more

To Look Back Or Not To Look Back

Contributed by Clifton Cooley on Dec 25, 2004

At years end everyone looks back. When Chrsitians should and when they should not look back.

To Look Back Or Not To Look Back, That is the Question. Gen 19:17; And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 1 Chron 16:11-12; Seek the ...read more

Having Possessions And Being Possessed

Contributed by H.b. Charles Jr. on Oct 21, 2012

"Having Possessions and Being Possessed" is a message from Matthew 6:19-21. It teaches three lessons: (1) Be careful of where your treasure resides. (2) Be committed to treasure that remains. And (3) Be concerned about what your treasure reveals.

Honouring Our Parents

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2017

Christian children are instructed to honour their parents. This is one of the few direct commands to children in the congregation. I fear this command is neglected among the faithful today. The message is a study of what the Apostle wrote.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honour your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” [1] The last days are described in frightful detail in Paul’s final letter to ...read more
