Throw Out the Lifeline: Lessons to Encourage the Soul in Seasons of Uncertainty

In the heart of the pandemic’s upheaval in early 2020, Rev. Dr. Craig Melvin Smith birthed a spiritual refuge titled “Lifeline.” The pages of Throw Out the Lifeline unfold as a guiding light, offering timely and essential lessons to navigate the stormy seas of life during seasons of uncertainty. Dr. Smith invites readers to reflect on the divine message amidst the global pause, pondering whether it was an intrusion or an introduction from the hand of the Lord, a revelation that will only be fully understood when we stand face to face with Him.

Inspired by John 6:63 and the hymn Throw Out the Lifeline, Dr. Smith addresses the crucial question of how to prevent believers from drifting or sinking in the absence of the normal gathering places. Drawing parallels between a lifeline and the Scriptures as a source of life, he unveils the profound impact of the teachings during the COVID-19 storm, emphasizing their role in keeping the Light on in homes, lives, and families.

As the world moves past the darkest days of the pandemic, “Lifeline” continues its mission after 200 consecutive weeks, maintaining a consistent audience of 150 hearers weekly. Dr. Smith’s dedication extends to a broader audience through the publication of this series, transcending conventional gatherings. The multi-volume endeavor becomes a testament to faith’s resilience and the enduring power of spiritual teachings in the face of uncertainty.

The Mission of the Church in Light of Christ’s Second Coming

The Mission of the Church in Light of Christ’s Second Coming by Ronia Bosley is a compelling exploration of the divine purpose behind the church’s role in today’s world. Delving into her personal journey and upbringing within the Church of God in Christ, Bosley passionately advocates for a renewed focus on the imminent return of Christ and the need for Christians to actively engage in the Great Commission. Drawing parallels between the tumultuous history of Israel and contemporary global events, Bosley underscores the critical significance of Israel in biblical prophecy, emphasizing the undeniable signs of the times. This thought-provoking work offers a timely call to action for believers to embrace their mission of reconciliation and prepare for the approaching return of Christ.

Christ is coming soon. Are you ready to receive HIM?

Ronia L. Bosley is the Associate Pastor of the Destiny Worship Center in Chicago, IL. Ronia, growing up in a church (Progressive COGIC) with a very active and well-known choir, developed a great love for music, especially singing. Joining the choir, she soon became the lead soloist. Ronia began to record and travel within and outside of the United States, singing about the love and grace of God. Becoming the praise and worship leader of her church caused her to become more interested in the Word of God and the story of his plan of salvation for man.

Her love for God and the truth of His word led her to attend the International Seminary, where she completed her studies and graduated with a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies. What matters most in her life is to teach the truth of God’s word, which causes the chains of religion to be broken off of God’s people. Teaching the truth of God’s word also sets the sinner free from the bondage of sin. Her most significant moments are when she sees how the Word of God (after learning and applying it) changes the hearers’ lives.

Hold On: God is in Control

A Collection of Uplifting Sermons for Trying Times was written with a single purpose: to uplift, inspire, and strengthen the faith of readers as they journey through life’s most challenging seasons.

In these pages, Rev. Dr. Kenneth D. Phelps reminds us that faith is not only built in times of calm; it is shaped and tested in the midst of life’s fiercest storms. True faith stands firm, even when our path is unclear and the challenges seem insurmountable.

The sermons in this collection were delivered at Concord Missionary Baptist Church during periods of both local and global crisis. They offer more than encouragement; they are reminders of God’s steadfast presence and His strength, which remains constant even when we may feel uncertain. These messages urge us to hold onto faith, trust in God’s guidance, and walk forward with hope, no matter how dark the journey may seem.

Dr. Phelps hopes that these words will serve as a source of resilience for readers and an invitation to be a beacon of hope to others. With God, all things are possible, and we are never alone, even in the hardest of times. Stand firm, live by faith, and let this collection remind you that, above all, God is in control.

The Royal Touch

The Royal Touch By Kelly Michele

Grace was excited about moving to a new house, starting a new school, and making new friends. That is, until one of her new classmates said such mean things about her that Grace began to doubt her self-worth and briefly wished she was different. After Mom reminds Grace of her royal heritage and many strengths, Grace becomes more confident and proud of who she is. Mom also reminds Grace of the Golden Rule – to treat others as you wish to be treated. When Grace has an opportunity for revenge, she instead chooses kindness. The Royal Touch is a heartwarming story about believing in yourself and the goodness that comes from being kind to others.
