    Learning To Trust In A Skeptical World

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Oct 12, 2021
     | 3,720 views

    I believe one of the greatest issues facing our world today, to include the church, is the fact that trust has all but disappeared in relationships. I believe the book of Micah shows us the tragedy of a society where trust is absent; however, the book also shows us how to regain that which is lost.

    In recent weeks I have been pondering a very important question: "What is the common denominator for understanding healthy relationships? We could postulate many words (e.g., friendship, tolerance, respect, appreciation, etc.). I then contemplated, what happens if trust is absent in a ...read more

    Revive Us Again Series

    There is nothing more powerful in sparking revival than a visitation from God! An outpouring of the Holy Spirit is born out of a season of prayer and repentance after having experienced some form of hardship or depraved condition.

    In 1863, the Scottish medical doctor William P. Mackey wrote a song entitled, “Revive Us Again.” Some of the lyrics of this well-known hymn declare, “Revive us again! Fill each heart with thy love. May each soul be rekindled with fire from above. Hallelujah! Thine the glory! Hallelujah! ...read more

    Watch out for Satan's shrewd ways, and reject his lies. God’s Word IS true. God IS generous and good. Please, Believe it!

    Several years ago, a middle school in Oregon faced a unique problem. A number of girls began to use lipstick and put it on in the bathroom.

    Sermon # 33 - God's Unchanging Laws Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 31, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,457 views

    We are indeed saved by grace, but does that mean that the laws of God given in the Old Testament are no longer applicable to us? God’s word gives us clarity, and helps us to understand how God’s grace and God’s laws apply to us today.

    In Romans 3:31, Paul writes, “Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.” (GNB) There is a lot of teaching on the grace of God and faith that we must place in Him. Grace and faith are fundamental for our walk with God, but it is important ...read more

    In these three stories about what to do until while waiting for him to come back, Jesus encourages the faithful and warns the faithless.

    If you’ve been following along this series in your Bible at home, you’ll know that we finished the series on the Sermon on the Mount last week. At that point, I returned to the Gospel passage from the revised common lectionary, which gives four readings for each Sunday and festival in the ...read more

    What God Wants

     | 5,401 views

    Living the Christian life is so much more than what you do, it literally has nothing to do with the amount of money you sow, how many religious books you buy, which ministries you support it’s more than reading the bible, praying, and going to church.

    “What God Wants” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I am sure you have seen TBN and the Word Network all the popular televangelists who preach to millions of people around the world.

    This message is about our response to temptations and how the grace of God empowers us to overcome and not yield to them. It's a follow-up to my message "The Truth About Grace."

    Don’t Take The Bait! Scripture: Matthew 22:15-22; First Corinthians 10:13; James 1:13-16 In my message last week I told you that grace does not cover sin, that in fact what it does is empower us to walk away and reject sin. Grace empowers us to reject sin, not cover it up after we do it. In ...read more

    What do you think of when "gifts" are mentioned? Usually, when Christians think of "gifts," we think of giving 10%, or less, to the Church. How backward is that?

    Gifts What do you think of when I mention the word "gifts?" Usually, when Christians think of "gifts," we think of giving a small portion of money to the Church. Are you kidding me? Since everything is God's to begin with, how backward is that? Oh, how the sin of pride ...read more
