    What can we learn from a resurrection of one of Jesus closest friends?

    Let’s learn a couple of ways to examine a Bible passage: 1) solving dilemmas, and 2) finding the Good News. Let’s examine the resurrection of Lazarus in John 11:1-45. What was the setting? Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. It was that Mary who ...read more

    Zacchaeus had a desire to know Jesus as a friend, as his savior, and as his the Lord.

    Luke 19:1-10 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. [2] And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. [3] And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. [4] And he ran ...read more

    God restores me because: 1. God’s love is UNCONDITIONAL 2. Salvation isn’t based on my PERFORMANCE 3. Jesus has already taken my PUNISHMENT 4. Jesus understands my human WEAKNESS 5. God doesn’t hold on to GRUDGES

    God’s Restoring Grace Folks, here is a fact that I have learned in life – relationships change. It does not matter whether it is the relationship with your spouse – your children or your friends.

    Receiving God’s Grace

     | 3,048 views

    There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

    Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

    "Love, God’s Way!”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 18, 2022

    We ask God the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sins of not loving as we have been loved, and then lead us to follow God’s command to love others.

    “What one word summarizes the Ten Commandments?” I think that the Bible’s answer to that question surprises many people. In the Scriptures God tells us that the one word that summarizes the Ten Commandments is “love.” But how can that be? Aren’t the Commandments a list of “dos” and “don’ts” or ...read more

    What do you think qualifies a person to be a friend? How can we be wise when it comes to choosing our friends? How can we build lasting and fulfilling friendships? God gives us insight about the qualities of true friendship in the Bible and especially in the book of Proverbs.

    If you were to think about your friends. How many close friends would you say you have? What about good friends, or acquaintances? According to Dunbar, prof of psychology at Oxford University who developed a theory about friendships, a person, on average, may have about 500 acquaintances, 150 ...read more

    This message looks at the account of someone who was given a promise by God that he would receive a great blessing. But he, along with his wife, took matters into their own hands, and tried to get ahead of God, leading to strife.

    In our message this morning we’re going to focus on how we need to have patience when following the Lord. Hebrews is a book of the Bible that frequently talks about following God in faith, and we read that those who are patient will be able to “inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:12). In Hebrews ...read more

    In our Sermon today we’ll be looking at how great and wonderful God’s grace is towards us, as we examine it through the acrostic “GRACE.” We'll see just how great God's grace really is, and what it means for our salvation.

    There is a quality in humankind that propels us to worship a god. Everyone worships something. The question is what god are you worshiping?

    There is a quality in humankind that propels us to worship a god. There is something in us that causes us to worship something or someone.
