Hebrews 11:3, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” I believe by faith that God spoke the universe into existence! I cycled across America in 30 days and wrote a book about it! Check...
Faith is total reliance and dependance upon God! Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This is the first message of a series of sermons from the great hall of faith! I cycled across America in 30 days and wrote a book about it!...
Solomon was quite the character in the Old Testament. From the wisdom that attracted people to hear him to his massive wealth to his 700 wives and 300 concubines, his life is highly memorable to the student of the Bible. At first, is affection was solely upon God, but as he gained life experience his...
Hope you and your family had a very merry Christmas! The same Jesus who was born in the stable in Bethlehem would go on to live a sinless life, perform many miracles, die on the cross to be the sacrifice for sin, be placed in a borrowed tomb, be gloriously resurrected from the dead, ascend...
Many of you have asked me about my trip to London, and I know you’re wanting the scoop on what I did while I was there. Today is your lucky day! I went to West Norwood Cemetery. I know you’re thinking, “Bryan, you went all the way to England just to go to a cemetery?...
Abraham, Moses (Heb. 3:1-6), and David are often the most cited characters of the Old Testament, and rightly so. They are mentioned throughout the torah, prophets and psalms, and highlighted often in the New Testament. Abraham was the founding member of Israel with God calling him away from his home country to begin a new...
It’s the Sunday past thanksgiving, and I’m sure there are a few things on your mind, but one that’s climbed to the top is, “I ate way too much, and it’s time to go on a diet and start exercising.” Be honest, how many of you felt miserable after thanksgiving? Bro, I’m not going to...

Thomas Lewis Johnson was an African American who lived in the state of Virginia during the 1800s in the height of the controversy of slavery. He experienced racism to great extremities through its horrible practice. He was beaten, whipped, bruised, abused, spat upon, mistreated, impoverished, and treated as a piece of property for 28 years....
William Carey is known as the father of modern missions. His courage inspired many people in the mid 1800s to go overseas to spread the gospel, and his life still impacts us to this day. He encountered sickness, grief, an unstable wife who threatened to kill him, and had no converts until seven years; however, […]
On December 18, 1853, Charles Spurgeon preached his first sermon at the New Park Street Baptist Chapel, later known as the Metropolitan Tabernacle. There were about 80 people present in an auditorium that could comfortably seat 1,200. The congregation was in great decline. But, once Spurgeon accepted the pastorate in March 1854, droves of people […]
September 11, 2001, goes down as one of the worst days in modern American history. Our nation, who seemed nearly exempt from acts of terrorism, learned first-hand of its horrible schemes.

Little House on the Prairie needs no introduction. With over 200 episodes, that are still being aired, it’s hard to imagine someone who has not seen at least one episode. I can distinctly remember seeing one called “The Faith Healer” from the 1979 season. Mrs. Oleson invited the Reverend James Danforth to Walnut Grove to […]
Muggsy Bogues was a household name in the 1980s and 1990s. Without question, he is one of the greatest NBA athletes to play the game with little to no recognition today. He has been overlooked, underappreciated, and dismissed all because he stood at 5’3”. One coach said, “How can I play somebody this small in […]

“Confessions from quarantine housework – I dusted once. It came back. I’m not falling for that again; My daughter was whining about her chores. She asked if she needed to vacuum the whole apartment.

Summertime equals vacation time for Americans. It’s that thing where we save every extra dollar throughout the year so we can spend a fortune living like kings and queens for a week! The average American spends $1,145 per person on vacation. So, for a family of four that would equal $4,580 on vacation. Imagine, it […]
We’ve heard it said you can’t trust the Bible because it was written by men, and men at best are fallible. Haven’t played the telephone game? Line up 25 children, whisper a sentence in the ear of the first child and tell them to tell the next student in line. By the time, the message […]
When I was a child, my parents along with my grandfather were heading out to the big city. We got in a silver Plymouth Acclaim; yes, we drove it with style! My dad hopped in the driver’s seat, mom was in the passenger seat, and my grandfather and I sat in the back. As we […]
The year was 1992. The city was Barcelona. The event was the 400m semifinals. The occasion was the Olympics. The man was Derek Redmond. An Olympian gold medalist from Great Britain and perhaps one of the favored runners to win. The runners assembled to their starting points. They positioned themselves. The gun fired and they […]
1 Cor. 13 is considered the love chapter in the Bible. It has eight specific references to love. Read 1 Cor. 13:4-8a, 13. As beautiful as this passage is, I personally don’t think it should be considered the love chapter. There are 27 references to love in our text today, and 40 references to love […]
Spiritual warfare is something many people don’t pay much attention to these days. Perhaps the reason why is because some people see a demon behind everything. If they get a red light instead of a red light, they blame it on the devil. If they get Polynesian sauce instead of Chick-fil-A sauce, then the cashier […]
Frances Jane Crosby was born in Putnam County, New York, on March 24, 1820. A doctor misapplied a mustard plaster poultice to her eyes when she was only six weeks old, rendering her totally blind. Throughout her childhood, many could tell she was given a special gift from God. Even though she couldn’t see physically, […]
In 1941, at the United Gospel Tabernacle Church, Billy Graham preached his first official sermon as a seminary student attending Wheaton College. His simple message about sin and salvation he delivered with much passion would eventually be heard in crusade meetings around the globe. In 1947, Graham preached his first city-wide crusade in Grand Rapids, […]
Just as oil and water repel each other, today’s culture repels the truth about sin. What’s the truth about sin, you ask? The unraveling reality is we are all sinners and destined for the judgment of God. The unwanted truth is God is light and in Him there is no darkness, no sin. None. Nadda. […]

The Bible clearly speaks about the future coming of the antichrist who will take dominion over this world. He will lead his generation into a world-wide economic, political and religious system that opposes the Word of God, will of God, and Son of God. All those who goes against his agenda will be killed. However, […]

What is a Christian? Well, it is my belief that the small epistle of 1 John reveals the assurance of salvation for believers, and provides three tests for every person claiming to be a believer in Christ. There is a theological test, moral test and a social test. A Christian believes Christ is the Son […]

Cell phones have dramatically changed our society. In many ways it has changed our world for the good, but, to be frank, it has also transformed our world for the bad.
