The Spoken Word

On the 7th day God finished His work of creating, He blessed the 7th day and sanctified it, setting it apart and setting the precedence of the Sabbath. This rest for the Christian is a time to cease from self-effort and trust in the finished work of Jesus for salvation and spiritual fulfillment.

Join us as we conclude our journey through chapter one of Genesis and the six days of creation where we discover God’s powerful performance of shaping the universe, creating and establishing Himself as the ultimate Creator, sovereign over all of creation, its diverse life forms, time, light and darkness and His creation of the crowning of all creation mankind, who His is to give dominion over all...

God is the One Who created all things, He created everything with "Let there be," with the exception of the crown jewel of His creation, man. He formed man from the "dust of the earth." Everything He created He did it purposefully, intentionally and specific to the need of man. Join us in today's episode of "The Spoken Word," as we explore the 8 days in creation.

What we will be doing for 2026

There were two trees in the garden of Eden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life. Adam forfeited the tree of life by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but because of God’s great mercy He promised to redeem us from Adam’s error. God has given man words and visions of prophecy to hope in. In Adam we all die, but in Jesus Christ we have life and victory....

As believers we are called to and given the discernment to distinguish between heavenly values and the allures of this world. God has set before us life and death, blessing and cursing and He commands us to choose life, but will we. We are called to actively separate ourselves from the world system that promotes sin and rebellion against God and we are warned of the judgements that results if we d...

The Bible is Christocentric, its enter focus is Jesus. The OT speaks of a Savior is coming, it glorifies Jesus in prophecy. The NT speaks of a Savior that has come; the Gospels give us His history on the earth. The Acts shows His active in the Church through the Holy Spirit. The epistles expand on what we are shown in Acts and helps us know its relevance. The Revelation dramatizes graphically Chri...

We, as believers, should live and conduct ourselves in a manner that proclaim the praises of God, influence unbelievers to glorify God, silence foolish people by our good works, win spouses to Christ, shame ungodly critics, and confuse our former associates. Are we or are we succumbing to the influence of the world? Peter tells us how our faith in Christ should be reflective of our hope and what i...

Sound and Christ like leadership in the church fosters sound doctrine which leads to sound living and abundant life. Good biblical teaching commands us to live submitted, loving and forgiving lives as we are being reconciled to God and He reconciles us to each other.

We are called to be stewards; our stewardship is over God’s creation and His revealed mysteries. It is required of stewards to be found faithful, we must faithful over natural things, small things and another man’s things, then God will entrust things of our own to us. Can you be trusted? Paul teaches us what the requirements are and how we can become qualified and made ready. Join us as we look i...

Paul never had opportunity to visit Colossae, but His impact upon the tri-city area was tremendous. There are places we may never be able to reach, but our prayers, intercessions, and giving thanks, our influence in the heavenlies can make a world of difference. Don’t withhold from any the good you can do because you never know the impact it can make but we do know the impact we were brought into...

The Bible admonishes us to put on Christ and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. What does that mean and how do we do that? We do it by living a new life in Christ by adopting His character and virtues, rather than living by the dictates of our sinful desires, we let the same mind that was in Christ be in us.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.” So then, we are to be forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, pressing toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus. For when we were children we thought as children do, we reasoned after that manner. Now that we ar...

As believers we take to seek to know what is the Church, what is its origin, what is its destiny and what is its mission. We also need to know we possess in Christ and our position in Him. Why, well our problem as mankind is that we have lived out of harmony with our environment, we have been alienated from the life of God. We have trespassed His holiness and His righteous decrees, fallen short of...

In Matthew 5:48 Jesus instructs us saying, "Be perfect, therefore as your heavenly Father is perfect." This is a call to "holiness" a reflection of God's character, showing love, mercy and righteousness without partiality, even extending this to our enemies. What happens when the Church stops operating in holiness? Apart from holiness none will see God nor experience true p...

We can trust God to comfort us in our suffering knowing that it has purpose in the Christian experience. In trying times look to Him, lean into Him through prayer and supplications with thanksgiving and that He is conforming you to His will. While God is making you share your testimony to encourage others and intercede on behalf of others that God's kingdom comes, and His will is done.

We are the sheep of God's pasture, for it is He Who has created us and not we ourselves. He created us and formed us intentionally to fulfill a purpose that He determined before the foundation of the world. Let's honor God, celebrate gender distinctions, realize we are interdependent of each other (male and female), and glorify God as we embrace divine order.

Paul tells us in Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfuln...

We place our money in banks, and we don’t sit outside the bank to ensure its safety, we exit and go about engaged in the activities of life and trust in the bank and the government that insures what’s in our accounts. God is greater than the banking institution, the men who manage them and the country that backs them. God is able to keep what we commit to Him. We have to believe in God’s power and...

Look around you, listen to the many voices speaking in theearth and be aware of the moral decline that going on. These are the “last days” and we need to be able to distinguish between genuine godliness and a form of godliness and take the steps necessary to walk in the light, so that we canhave fellowship with God and the Saints of God and have no fellowship with evil, we can live for God and fin...
