WELCOME!
We hope the unique
focus of the
messages and music
will be a blessing and
an encouragement in
your daily walk, as we
praise the king, and
proclaim and prepare
for the coming
kingdom of God!
We in the Church of God focus on many unique truths often overlooked in
contemporary teaching.  We focus on the kingdom message and the
return of Jesus Christ.  But what if it He returned today?  Would you be
waiting?  Would you be ready?

Download/play: What if it Were Today?
The story of mankind from the beginning of time has been to seek the
cares, the pleasures, and the wealth of this world - and completely forget
God.  But what does it advantage you if you gain all the fame and fortune in
this life, and yet lose eternal life?
Primary Text: Luke 9:25

Just when you think you might be good enough to be earning your own
salvation is the moment you're not.  J.R. LeCrone reminds us, and
himself, that the way has already been made for us.  But are we on the
right path?

Suppose He did not knock.  Suppose you did not answer.  The Lord is
waiting.  Will you open the door?  Will you invite him in?  Or will you turn
him away?

The Open Bible Pulpit:  Hosea - Chapter 6 - Return to the Lord
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
In this series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining the prophecy from the book
of Hosea (753 - 722 B.C).  The prophecy was not just for Israel's future, it's
relevant for our learning today.  What are some of the reasons we refuse
God's comfort?  In today's message, we're encouraged not to get too
comfortable.  Sometimes normal and comfortable is not always what God
wants.    It's time to make returning to God a lifelong pursuit.

The Whole World Waits
Dr. Alva G. Huffer    E-mail Alva
Dr. Huffer's travels and interests have taken him all around the world.  One
thing he has come to realize is people everywhere are basically the same.  
They are searching for hope.  The world is hungry for the truth.  The world is
hungry for God's love.  The world is waiting...and God has chosen
YOU to
be the one to share your faith, to share your hope, and to share your love
within you.  Now is the time.  The world is waiting...

Kingdom Ministries is a completely faith-based ministry created to simply
and clearly proclaim the message of the Kingdom of God and to share

message.  Did he come just to do "three days work?"  Or was there
something more he taught?  What does he instruct us to teach?  Find out

The Gospel of Jesus
Jesus The Messiah
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
Scripture Lesson:  John 4:1-26   
Who is Jesus really?  Who is this promised king?  How important is it to
understand who Jesus really is and the significance of being the foretold
Messiah?  How does understanding who Jesus is affect your life?  Jesus
tells us in his own words.
Sometimes the Truth Hurts
Pastor Kent Ross   E-mail Kent
Sometimes what we need to hear the most is exactly what we want to hear
the least.  We profess to live and teach the truth, but how are we living out
the truth?  How important is knowing the truth?  Would you rather believe a
lie because it's easier or more comfortable?  Pastor Ross answers some
of these hard questions in the opening message in this new sermon
series on living out our faith.
Tough Leadership for Tough Times 1 Peter 5:1-5
Pastor Steve Taylor   
E-mail Steve
Lakeshore Bible Church  Tempe, Arizona
As followers of Christ, we're not always promised our lives will be easy,
but one thing is certain: tough times demand a tough faith.  In this series
from the first letter of Peter, we're studying how to not only survive, but
thrive, in the hardest times.  Today's study looks at the qualities of a  
servant leader in the church and challenges us to encourage and pray for
the leaders in our churches as well.
It Only Matters Who You Know
Pastor Wally Winner     E-mail Wally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  
Piedmont, South Carolina
In this series on the book of Acts, we're examining the church of the
first-century Christians and what we can learn from this dedicated
fellowship of believers today.  Looking at the 10th chapter of Acts and
Peter's response to Corenelius' invitation teaches us several things.  
Cornelius by all accounts would have been a good church member.  
He was a devout man, feared God, gave alms, and prayed.  But he
realized that there was something missing.  He needed to know who
Jesus was.  Peter help bring that to happen.  And Peter needed to
know that the Gospel was for everyone regardless of race, nationality
or social status.  It doesn't matter who you are, it matters who you know.
The Plan of God: Christ's Return, Part 1
Pastor Dave Hixon    E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God   Tipp City, Ohio
Are we at the end of the world?  Or maybe, are we at the end of the
beginning?  In this continuing message from Pastor Dave's series, we
look closer at the signs indicating the end is near.  The prophecies
predicting the hard times we will face are real.  But God has promised
his people a greater hope in a new age coming.  Are you watching?  
Are you waiting?  Are you ready?
Trust and Faith

Exodus 17; Deuteronomy 9; Daniel 3; Philippians 2
In times of trouble, do you ever doubt?  Even though we know God has
promised to provide for our daily needs, do we ever grumble because
we think it's not enough?  God's people are to be a shining example
and testimony of faith to the world.  A lot of trials and difficulties will
come our way in life, but we never need to doubt the love, care and
concern of our gracious Heavenly Father in times of uncertainty.

The Voice of Truth Broadcast:  Let's Go Fishing
Pastor Jeff Fletcher  E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
Everybody likes to share some good news.  In fact, as disciples of
Christ, that's our primary mission.  Take a look at Simon the
fisherman.  In all ways, he was mostly unqualified, but he was called
by Jesus to spread the gospel.  Today's study looks at 5 ways to
become a fisher of men.  Are you being called into action?  Are you
just involved?  Or are you totally committed?   Luke 4:43; 5:1-11;
Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:11; James 1:22; Psalm 1
After the Sunrise Radio Broadcast:  Because Jesus Told Me So
Pastor Darrell Cardwell    E-mail Darrell
North Salem Church of God   Plymouth, Indiana
If one of your friends asked you when Jesus is coming back, what
would you tell them?  If that same friend continued to ask you more
questions,  like how can you be sure Jesus is coming back, what
would you say? Pastor Darrell answers these questions in today's
message focused on the return of Jesus and the kingdom of God.

The Open Bible Pulpit:  Hosea - Chapter 7 - Parables of Hosea 7
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
In this series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining the prophecy from the
book of Hosea (753 - 722 B.C).  The prophecy was not just for Israel's
future, it's relevant for our learning today.  Today's message examines
four of the illustrations God uses in chapter 7 to describe His people -
an oven, a cake, a dove, and a bow.  We're reminded to wake up and
pay attention, being concerned with God's priorities and not our own.
