  • Temporary Suffering And Eternal Glory

    Contributed on Jul 13, 2025
     | 19 views

    Pain and Suffering are real. When we minimize it, we miss the message God is telling us. When we mask it, it just comes right back. But God's Glory is Eternal.

    Good Morning. As we begin, I will ask you to remember to pray for our sister in Christ, Lori Crosson. She lives across the street, but hasn’t been here much at all this year, because she’s suffering from cancer of the esophagus. Not just the cancer but her treatments wreck her body, leaving her ...read more

  • That's What You Get

    It is easy to become Jealous over those we think are getting in easy to God's Grace when we labor to follow God's Law. Jesus parables in Luke 15 help us to see things right.

    Good Morning. Last week, we focused on approaching God. There are many who see picking a religion like picking a flavor of ice cream at Baskin Robbins. The point of the lessons was outward focused, to searchers, to help them understand the difference in how we approach God if there is only one God ...read more

  • I'm All Out Of Options

    We like having choices, but how we find God is not one. In Naaman's story and Luke 9 we find we can only come to God the way He chooses.

    All Out of Options Good Morning. Today we have 2 lessons about making a Choice to either follow God, or not. …And we like having choices, but we are not always good at actually executing on them. Steph shared a picture of a child’s menu, where all the meals were renamed “I don’t know,” “I don’t ...read more

  • Why The Gospel Is Greater Than Miracles

    Contributed on Jun 22, 2025
     | 61 views

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is amazing for a number of reasons. One reason that we will look at today is that Jesus makes a clear statement that what will bring people to Christ is not great miracles, but simply God's Word shared with them.

    Why the Gospel is Greater than Miracles Good Morning. Our lesson this morning, Jesus’ Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, comes in response to the Pharisees having come once again to argue with Jesus. That’s a big point to the parable, the whole idea that we so much want to try to justify ...read more

  • You're Not Simple, And Neither Is God

    Contributed on Jun 14, 2025
     | 100 views

    People want a "simple religion" and want to make God simple. Yet we ourselves are not simple at all, so how could our Creator be? Though God is complex, in Trinity, he displays for us love within that union, a love which models for us the love we should have for each other.

    Good Morning. Give me a simple religion. It’s what a lot of people want, and it’s what a lot of people have tried to turn Christianity into through the years. Of course, if someone calls US simple, we are very offended. Yet somehow, we think the God who made us has to be simpler than we are. I am ...read more
