Our world spends a lot of time trying to find out who we are. To know who we are, we must know God. If we do not know God, it is too easy to become confused. As important as it is to know who we are, it is just as important to know who we are not. The world wants to put labels on us, but sometimes we have to declare that we are not what they say. Life has a way of dragging us through the mud, but...

Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth was written to deal with an issue they had with their flesh. He reminds them that the weapons we use in our battle with the enemy are not physical. The devil cannot read our minds. He controls the world, but he cannot control or know our thoughts. The only way he can know our thoughts are through our actions. God has equipped us to be as successful as we need...

The book of Revelation is a place to find encouragement and strength. John introduces himself in our text, not as one who is higher, but as one of us. He has been where we are and have suffered what we have suffered. John is writing from the isle of Patmos. Patmos is an island located in the south Asian sea. It is barren and isolated. In his imprisonment, Paul was bound and forced to work in the q...

While we cherish new revelations, we also need to value old wisdom. Some bible scholars regard the book of James as the New Testament equivalent of the book of Proverbs. In our text, James couples two words that are not generally thought of together: Joy and Trouble. In our humanity, we cannot associate a blessing with a reprimand. But in God’s economy, He uses this to accomplish a higher purpose....

God has given this church a great promise. Bro. Hughes asks if we are ready to receive that which God has prepared. Our text is known as the parable of the prodigal son. The truth is, that it should be known as the parable of the loving father. The way that the father responded to his son’s return is the same way that we must respond to those lost and wayward souls that will return to our door. Ev...

We live in troubling times. We do not need to be intimidated by our times, but we must know how to live in what Paul calls this present evil world. Paul had a close connection to the Galatian church. He was concerned about a spirit pushing the adherence to the Mosaic law. He was worried about the attack that was coming against the faith of the new believers. Paul determined that the best was to se...

In our story, everyone knew that the girl was dead. We can only imagine what Jairus experienced in the course of this story. He goes to find Jesus to help his dying daughter. Jesus agrees to go, but along the way, they are delayed by the woman with the issue of blood. After Jesus helps her, word comes that his daughter was dead. Jesus tells him to fear not, and they continue their journey to his h...

Today Rev. Stephen and Sis. Emma Judd from Tupelo Children’s Mansion minister to the congregation. The enemy wants to steal from us, but not our things. He has no need for our physical things, but He wants our spiritual things. The devil attacks our minds to cause us to question our beliefs and values. The bible says that the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It all starts with stealing. Th...

Matthew's account of the sermon on the mount occurs in one place in his gospel. Luke and Mark record multiple instances of this message and different locations. The language Matthew uses indicates that Jesus preached this sermon on numerous occasions. The accounts of Jesus’ life recorded in the bible only describe twenty-eight days. Given that Luke records five times of Jesus teaching this message...

Bro. Hughes continues his series from he Sermon on the Mount. In our text tonight, Jesus states that he is the fulfillment of the law. Jesus said that not one jot or tiddle would pass from the law. What He said is in contradiction to what He did. The law that Jesus talked about was very different from the law that religious leaders talked about. They meant the scribal and oral law that had been pa...

Most people want to feel like the matter. At some point, we all wonder if our hurts, our wants, and our efforts are noticed. More than that, we want to know if God knows; if God cares. Our text contains a great truth. It reveals an insight into the very nature of God. In teaching this lesson, Jesus does not reference a scripture but appeals to the natural human emotions of relationships. He asks a...

The scene that is the setting of our text, is perhaps one of the most remarkable in David’s life. He was in a very low place. He was on the run from Saul and surrounded by a band of supporters. He is in a cave that was very familiar to him. His enemy occupied a place that belonged to him. Looking out of the cave down to the well of Bethlehem, David was taken back to a time when he was in a better...
