The Beauty And Majesty Of God

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Feb 15, 2015

God is beautiful and majestic. How do we examine our attitude toward life and toward God? King David gives us some insights from his life and poetry.

The Beauty and Majesty of God - Psalm 27:1-5 - February 15, 2015 As his parents watched from the patio, a little boy played baseball by himself in the back yard. Of course this amounted to tossing a ball into the air and attempting to hit it with his bat. As he did so he proclaimed to no one in ...read more

Public Prayers And Private Prayers

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 20, 2025

Today with God’s help I am going to be preaching on two kinds of PRAYERS

Why? (1) Because much of the preaching that preachers preach about today is about PRIVATE PRAYERS only. (2) They SELDOM EVER preach on PUBLIC PRAYERS making the distinction between PUBLIC and PRIVATE. Both of these kinds of prayers are taught throughout the scriptures and should be preached. ...read more

Alien Ambassaor Series

Contributed by John Sears on Dec 12, 2013

Being in the world can feel like an alien experience. Do we hide under sheets and hope not be detected? Do we marshal our forces in order to "not be part of the world"? Or does Jesus mean more when he says, "Be in the world, but not of it."

The Lamb Breaks The Seals (Revelation 6:1-8)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 14, 2024

The time for judgment upon the earth and its inhabitants has arrived. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, takes the scroll from the hand of God and breaks the seals of God's wrath, each one progressively worse than the other.

The dramatic moment has arrived as the seals that bind the book of God are about to be opened, one by one. What is written upon the scroll leaps off the page and acts out the events of the future for the apostle John and the heavenly host. They are not reading the scroll but instead are ...read more

I Sing Because

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jul 13, 2007
