    We can become discouraged and depressed in the Christian life and lose our confidence. But there is a way back from this that leads to a closer walk with God.

    9.1.11 INTRO Every New Year some people make New Year's resolutions -- we resolve either to start doing something good or stop doing something harmful. Favourites are to do with diet and exercise. Some have to do with relationships and behaviour. Many do not lead to lasting change. Some do. At ...read more

    There’s Hope For The Dried Up

     | 13,690 views

    God was and is still in control. He can and will give life to that which appears to have shriveled up and died. Ezekiel’s vision has applications for our lives today. As in Ezekiel’s day, God is still in the business of giving hope to the dried up.

    There’s Hope for the Dried Up Ezekiel 37:1-14 The children of Israel had begun to lose their hope. The nation had dried up politically, spiritually, and morally. Many had gone into captivity. Despair and pessimism were rampant. Gloom and doom filled the air. They had become a dried up exiled ...read more

    In order to get Christians to increase in their fruitfulness for Him, God cuts things out of our lives.

    Oct. 26, 2003 John 15 “Ow! That hurts!” Introduction Indian Jones and the Last Crusade is one of my favorite movies—it’s great entertainment but it packs a powerful punch of a message about finding happiness and joy. In the climactic scene of the movie, Indiana Jones is grasping ...read more

    Its A Wonderful Life

     | 3,486 views

    “It’s A Wonderful Life” is a remembrance of that innocence.

    Every Christmas season I watch Frank Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life” on television. It’s not that I plan it or anything; it just happens to come on some night when I happen to be watching TV. Usually, one of the networks will air the movie on the 23rd of December; sometimes even Christmas Eve. ...read more

    Fire Of The Contentious

    Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Aug 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,133 views

    A contentious spirit is like fire which burns up all that is good, and puts families, friends and co-workers at odds. This spirit finds a small fire of strife, kindles it and keeps feeding the issues which cause distrust, hatred or malice.

    Fire Of the Contentious The Negative Influences of a Person Who Seeks Strife The King James Bible tells us “As coals are to burning coals, and wood to a fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.” (Proverbs 26:21) “Contentious” (?????? ma?ôn) means to be argumentative, a person who is ...read more

    Lovers Leap Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 28, 2022
     | 1,928 views

    The lack of an apostrophe in the title is not an error: it's a simple declarative sentence. Lovers of Jesus take the leap of faith.

    I love the Indiana Jones movies. I think my all-time favorite will always be the first one, Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the third one, Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, is almost as good. How many of you have seen it? Sean Connery (who played Indy’s father) was almost as gorgeous as Harrison ...read more

    You cannot read the New Testament without seeing that any person who names the name of Christ is called to live on the high level of returning good for evil.

    Introduction: This morning we come face to face with a practical problem confronting everyone here; namely, overcoming our resentment toward people we don't like. In our scripture today, Jesus suggests the higher call of Christian discipleship is not how well we get along with our friends, but ...read more
