Having No Fear

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

Fear is a part of the human condition; however, our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of the false securities that we’ve built up through our occupations, activities, or the many masks we wear.

Our sermon this evening is entitled, “Having No Fear.” I recall how back in the 1990’s there was a popular brand of clothing with the brand name No Fear. I read an Internet article from that same time period, which says the No Fear slogan “has come to symbolize a ‘cutting edge’ lifestyle” and has ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (13 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

We have all heard the proverbial expression The proof is in the pudding." For example, someone might say, "This is real good chocolate pudding."

For example, someone might say, And so someone might say, "I really love God!" But, these are only words. They might be true or they might not be. Just saying something does not make it so! In fact anyone can say anything he wants to say, but that does not make it true. In this passage ...read more

Pandemic And Political Paranoia - The Torment Of Fear Versus The Peace Of God's Love

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 17, 2020

The recent international pandemic and the persistant unprecedented overreach and intimidation by governmental authorities has caused anxiety and fear to run rampant across the world, affecting everyone, the likes of which I have never seen before in my lifetime.

The world gives a lot of reasons to justify living in tormenting fear. The unknown ahead of us, and the uncertainty of the future, can be very intimidating.

Growth And Love

Contributed by Chidi Ejeagba on Jan 23, 2021

There is a very powerful relationship between growth and love. Without growth, it will be impossible to share love. A full grown love must be shared.

Dr Martin Luther King Jr once said, and I quote: "We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world, for love is the only way." Now we are in the rainy season, and the rains have started, everything has ...read more

"Growing In The Life Of Love" Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Sep 12, 2016

Spiritual maturity is tied directly to my learning to rely on God's love and relay God's love to others.

Could we with ink the ocean fill And were the skies of parchment made; Were every stalk on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole Though stretched from sky to sky.

Gods Love

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on May 1, 2018

God loves us enough to make His presence known and desires for us to reach out and respond to Him. God's love is to be shared with those that we come in contact with.

Discerning The Source Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 17, 2023

John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more
