How we handle threats? People tend toward two very different responses to a threat. Our current cultural focus is on the threat of COVID-19.

Where Is God? Where Are You? Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 23, 2017

John’s first glimpse of Jesus in this Revelation is extraordinary and strange. I’d like to focus on instead is where Jesus is. Jesus is in the midst of the Church and the Church is in the palm of His hand.

I was in the Spirit into the Lord’s Day (the Day of the Lord), and I heard behind me a great voice, like a trumpet, saying, I am the A and the Z, the first and the last and, What you see write into a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Tyatira, ...read more

Conversion – What It Is And What It Looks Like

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Oct 10, 2017

Are people who profess to having “prayed to receive Christ,” or who claim to be born again, but whose lives are no different than they were before, truly converted? What Christ said in Matthew 7:21 holds the answer. First John tells us what conversion is.

How great and marvelous is the continual demonstration of God’s love for you. He demonstrates His love for you in so many ways.
