    Jesus Addresses The Topic Of Marriage, Divorce, And Remarriage Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 14, 2023
     | 871 views

    Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

    Have you heard the dreaded stat that 50% of marriages today end in divorce? Yeah, that isn’t actually true. It was a myth. It came from a projection that if the divorce rate continued to raise by 2% each year, that it could reach that level. But it never actually did. It’s probably closer to 30 to ...read more

     | 1,506 views

    Will children be taught biblical values or gender ideology? What is right and wrong? How will we explain it to our children?

    The hit film “The Sound of Freedom” has grossed over 155 million dollars at the box office, hitting on the key issue of human trafficking occurring at massive levels across the world. How should Christians treat children? That is a key point found in our scripture today. The Bible tells us that ...read more

    There’s a fear that comes over you when you know you’ve done wrong. Guilt comes in. Then shame takes over. And pretty soon we are sorrowful and sad and we don’t know what to do.

    Normally the King would lead the armies in battle. But instead, King David sends out Joab and he stays behind at the palace.

    The title of this message is “How to not be a man after God’s own heart.” So, if you want to follow God and love God and live for God, just do the opposite of everything in 2nd Samuel chapter 11. There are two incidents that are the most famous in David’s life. The first is of course David’s ...read more

     | 1,332 views

    What does David do? He gathered his entire army, and marches out against them, time to end this once and for all.

    Too many people in our world make dumb decisions and reap the consequences. The Bible calls this person a fool. But the Bible also talks about a person who lives differently. They "walk in wisdom." Let's discover how we can walk in wisdom. To do that, I think we’re going to be talking ...read more

    Scripture is a blessing that many of us take for granted, a tool that will establish us well for spiritual battles and develop us as individuals in life and in character.

    We are blessed to live in part of the world where we are able to still share scripture openly. There are countries in where the sharing of God’s word is illegal, where people would love to have access to read the Bible openly but do not. There are other places where the Bible is held in very high ...read more

     | 1,244 views

    If we are slaves to sin, we are dead to Christ...we must be made alive in Him again, we must be born again in Christ...We cannot be like the walking dead, in our sins and transgressions, never knowing true life that is in Christ!

    My husband’s favorite genre of movies are zombie movies. Now, I cannot watch these things. I think they are gross and I just cannot handle it. They scare me! I am very susceptible to nightmares. It doesn’t take much for something to be impressed upon my brain. He always asks me to watch them ...read more

    Lost & Pretending

    Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,300 views

    Jesus tells the parables about the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son, but how can this relate to us today in our modern world? And how can we as Christians be pretending? Will God be able to tell who we really are behind the person we have created ourselves out to be?

    Guys…I want to be really honest with you this morning… I love that we get to do some amazing things, but honestly. I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off…running from one meeting to another, making sure everything on my multiple lists get done, and I’m just plain tired…I can’t ...read more

     | 1,501 views

    These four thousand people have probably been eating what little they had with them when they began following Jesus, which probably wasn’t much. They may have found sources of water along the way. But they’re now in a predicament.

    “Oh why didn’t I listen!?" The rich man cries out from the depths of hell, to this very day in 2023. He needed salvation dearly but could not see it.
