Are you inconsistent? Why don’t you get involved? Why don’t you come to Sunday School? Why don’t you come on Sunday night? Why don’t you give to your church? Why don’t you give to your pastor? God pays all the bills in our life. He pays for the light in the day? He pays for the nightlight during the night. He pays for our water and other utilities.…

The world looks at Christians as fools. Christians should run towards the storms of the devil not away from them. If you had to choose between death or admitting to being a Christian which would you choose? If someone held a gun to your head and said denounce God or die, what would you do? Where do you stand with God? All the people in Hell are the…

We each have a part to do when it comes to our spiritual lives. Our pastor can pray for us every second of the day but it’s up to each individual person to change. In the Old Testament, before Christ was born, the people depended on the priest to cleanse the sins of the people. After Christ was born and died the separation between God and man was r…

God doesn’t do things on our time, He only works on His time. He knows what’s best and knows the future. When you ask God for something and He doesn’t come through, don’t give up. He knows what’s best. God has not forgotten about you because He loves you. People have lost confidence in God by replacing Him with something else. Sin is the culprit th…

One can never get tired of God’s blessings. His kindness is ever-flowing. We know these and recognize them. Today we will speak on His Mercies. He pities us and gives us great mercy. Mercy is the compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone who is within one’s power to punish or harm. We all deserve to be punished. No one is good even those that …

Solomon knew that the houses could be built and the people could inhabit them but he also knew that without God it would all be a waste. Christians can do the work but without God, we can do nothing but waste time. Look around at the situation of the world. Evil is all around and it’s right in everyone’s faces. It’s getting worse and worse with eac…

Once you’ve been saved, you gain so many good things. These things can’t be numbered. Once you think you’ve got something good, it just gets better. On the other side, once saved you lose many things. Hell no longer has a hold on you. The relationship you didn’t have and couldn’t earn is given to you at the time of salvation. The door and bridge to…

Your challenge is, where are you with the Lord? For every person who’s been lost and then saved, God came to them while in their sin and invited them to be cleaned. One problem with the church (Christian) is that they slip. They allow the things of this world to come into their lives and they slip and forget about God. Not one person can’t go throu…

Being rich in this world is a relative term. Having a dollar here is considered rich in a third-world country. If you think for one minute that anything in this world makes you rich according to God then you’re badly mistaken. If you’re chasing the things of this world then you’re after something that God doesn’t approve of. He doesn’t take second …

The world wants everyone to think that all roads lead to God. Some think that any godly thing they do leads to God. None of this is true. There is only one way to God and that’s through Jesus Christ. God will not accept a counterfeit. You might be able to fool the preacher but you’ll never fool God. Either you’ve been bought by the blood or you’re …

We look in the mirror and tell the one looking back that everything is alright. We lie to ourselves all the time. David was a man blessed by God. Yet David became idle with God and slipped into sin. We then read about his life and its intimacy between him, God, and his downfall. Don’t ever think that his life could never happen in your life. All it…

If Jesus needed to pray, wouldn’t it seem more important for us to pray? He has given us the greatest treasure ever and that is to pray. All we must do is humble ourselves and He would hear us when we speak to Him. If prayer isn’t changing you then why pray? We all need to get to the place where we pray without ceasing. If your prayers are only one…

The preacher’s job is to warn the lost of their impending doom if they don’t get saved. The word of God shouldn’t be sugarcoated. Sin is sin and it should be said as such. God gives us our needs, not our wants. Just because you do something doesn’t mean you’ll get something. Many churches are out there preaching a false teaching that if you name it…

Brother Zach Willis The Fulfillment Luke 24:2 The most important part about Jesus is that He rose again. If He didn’t raise from the dead then He would have been just another dead person. One can only partake of the communion if they’ve been saved. If a person is lost and partakes they won’t receive the blessing and it will only be nasty tasting br…

Why do we forget things that seem so important? We are not above forgetting things. Some things are not worth remembering while others are very important. We should never forget what God has done for us. Some of us have forgotten the great things that God has done for us. The miracles that He has done we’ve let slip by, forgetting them. Only God wa…

The world wants the church to die. They don’t want the church to stop singing, worshipping God, speaking of Jesus, etc. This might be the last time that we are allowed to worship together in one mind and one accord. David had every right to lay it all down, however he stood up and praised God anyway. We as humans like to be held in the depression o…

Ephesians 2:8; What you have down here in this world doesn’t compare to what was given to a lost person when they receive salvation. John 10:9; Being fed by God can’t compare to the food on earth. Acts 4:12, Romans 3:23, 25, 24; A saved person doesn’t deserve anything. A home, cars, parents, or food on the table; none of these things compare to the…

Lukewarm water or indecisive, indifferent. Hot water is good to soak and bathe in, to get clean. Cold water is refreshing and cooling. Lukewarm water is not good and is oftentimes stagnant and full of pollutants. As Christians, we should strive to not be lukewarm. We should never be lukewarm for Christ. We should always be working, obeying God, and…

It’s not a surprise that one of the most discussed topics is how to parent. Thousands of books have been written, yet we already have a book.

These things are good and welcoming but they are not the most important …

There will be a time when people will turn their ears away from sound doctrine and look for false doctrine. All around us today people claim to have a form of godliness yet deny Jesus Christ.

Dwell means to settle, or to wed as in marriage. Many think that if they get married and it doesn’t work then they can just get out of it, a trial run if you will. It doesn’t work this way with God.

Why do you follow God? You can’t see Him. You can’t feel Him. Jesus began His journey way before He came to Earth as a child. Throughout the entire Bible, even though the naysayers say it contradicts itself, it does not. In a saved person’s life, there are so many miracles that have taken place that no man could ever do. A lost person gets their in…

The eagle is a great animal. The eagle can lift other animals much heavier than they are. An eagle doesn’t always soar and fly all the time. They go through a molting period where they light and others feed and care for them. A backslid Christian must be loved back into the flock. One doesn’t beat them down further, they help them back up. When the…

If you’ve sat under a preacher then you’ve likely heard that God will appear to you at least one time. He has warned everyone that you will appear before Him at your death and give an account for everything you did and didn’t do. If you are a child of God then He has given you mercy but if you are lost you lack His mercy. If you do not listen to Go…

We as Christians are to keep the fire burning. Since the beginning of sin, there was a mandatory death, a sacrifice offering for the sin. Before Jesus came, the sacrifices and offerings were an atonement, a covering of the sins. When Jesus came and died he paid the penalty for our sins that we couldn’t pay. Who is responsible for keeping the fire g…

The same word can mean different things. One example is the word, fish. This word can be used as a verb or a noun. To understand the word one must understand the context. In John 3:16 we see the word, world. We know that God did not send His son to save the world because we know that the world will be destroyed. The word refers to humankind, person…
