    The Ultimate Wilderness Guide

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 15, 2023
     | 1,016 views

    Lack of belief is a sin because if you don't understand that reunion with God is the purpose of life, you will wind up lost. Literally.

    I was 8 years old when my family moved to Brazil. Everything changed: language, food, customs, weather. And one of the things that I at least did not expect was the absence of school buses. If Dad couldn’t take us we had to take public transportation: a taxi, a tram, a bus. We usually took a city ...read more

    An Ascension Gift Basket For You!

     | 20,244 views

    Although the Bible doesn’t call it a “gift basket” it does use the word “gifts” in connection with our Savior’s ascension into heaven. Because of Jesus' ascension we receive many gifts. In Luke's account of the ascension we notice three.

    We call them “gift baskets.” They might be for holidays like Christmas or Easter. Or they may be given for someone’s birthday, or perhaps an anniversary. Now as you think of gift baskets what makes them different from other gifts? Although perhaps you can think of many more things that make ...read more

    Sermon # 38 - Freedom From Fear Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,644 views

    So many people are gripped with all kinds of fears, one of the major ones being the fear of death. Learn what Jesus did to set us free from this daunting fear of death, to give us hope for eternity.

    We read in Hebrews 2:14-15, “Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all ...read more

    Joseph and his brothers clearly didn't get along and it wreaked havoc on the family. What causes things like sibling rivalry and how can God work through our imperfect relationships? Check out these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    Did I ever tell you I have three sisters? Growing up, we were quite competitive in just about everything. Be it sports, games, music, acting- there was always something for us to try to outdo each other. If our family had been the one in today’s text, my sisters would likely say that I was ...read more

    More Than A Mother

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 3, 2023
     | 1,781 views

    No matter how deep the scars that life has left us with, the mother-love of God can restore the broken places and refill the empty places. There is nothing that we have lost that cannot be transformed or redeemed.

    Many of you met my sister Kathleen and her son Brian when they came down for my installation. Brian is the only child in our generation, my mother’s only grandchild. And that’s surprising because, of the two of us, Kathleen didn’t want children and I did. I was the one who played with dolls. I was ...read more

    The Price Of Peace

     | 1,493 views

    Jesus warns his followers that the consequences of following him will be painful and disruptive, and that they’d better be prepared for it.

    The disciples were confused. When the Messiah came, peace and righteousness would reign from one end of the earth to the other. All the prophets agreed. And if Jesus was the Messiah as they were all now pretty sure he was, he would be the one who brought it about. He would be the Prince of Peace ...read more

     | 1,452 views

    The most important way that joy becomes strength is by knowing who we are, and whose we are, and why we are.

    Why did they weep? Why did the people of Jerusalem grieve when Ezra read the word of God to them? The people of Jerusalem had just achieved a major victory: rebuilding the wall around the city which had been destroyed during their seventy years of captivity in Babylon.

    In the Bible, God and Jesus are repeatedly identified with light.

    7 Therefore do not become partners with them; 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the ...read more

    According to Jesus, believing is seeing. Believe the Lord before you receive anything from Him.

    Henry David Thoreau, the famous American author and philosopher once said, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” Today, we are going to study an encounter that Jesus had with a man who was desperate. He had reasons to be desperate. He was hurting. He was helpless. And he was hopeless. ...read more
