    Lessons In Apologetics #3: Experientialism & Evidentialism

    The next methodology is experientialism. Though fideism strives to make faith alone the justification for religious knowledge or belief, Geisler observes that this faith is ultimately justified in terms of an experience had by the individual (65). To the experientialist, God or the Ultimate is ...read more

    God give us a word of peace to prepare our spirits, to acknowledge our pain in prayer, to believe God's promise and covenant, to accept God's provisions as his gift to the world, and to know that God's plan is for us to have His peace.

    Sunday, December 14, 2008 The Word as Peace Text: Luke: 1: 79 We continue in our Advent theme: “What God Gives” Last Sunday, we examined what God gives is his word as power, if we believe we can become a child of God; then we can inherit the benefits of his children. This Sunday I ...read more

    Mother’s Day 2018

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018
     | 11,837 views

    Mothers shape our children who in turn shape our world. That's a lot of responsibility but God has seen fit to entrust it to women. A Mother’s work is never done and for that reason many wise mothers point us to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith

    Mother’s Day 2018 Mother’s today are the most courageous people I know of. They face a world that treats them and their contributions with contempt and indifference. We see the government removing the word “Mother” from official documents and replacing it with the words “Parent One”. Well at ...read more

     | 5,258 views

    There are addictions that destroy us, like too much wine or other intoxicants, and addictions that make us better. We need to become addicted to the good and throw away the bad, each of us becoming musicians for God

    18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord Do Not & Do Many recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of drinking a small ...read more

    Thanksgiving Day

     | 5,950 views

    The Apostle Paul did not write 365 thank-you notes. But he did write about one-half of the letters that make-up the New Testament. And Paul’s letters overflow with thanksgiving.

    Gratitude is an intentional way of thinking about receiving a benefit and giving credit to others beside oneself for that benefit. Practicing gratitude magnifies positive feelings more than it reduces negative feelings. To illustrate: John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low ...read more

     | 1,326 views

    There is so much noise surrounding the Bible. There is so much rhetoric. There is so much bias. There are so many skeptics, with so many things to say. But when you actually open up the Bible and read it, wow. Just wow.

    1 Peter 1:3-9 (NIV) 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.

    Simple logic cannot comprehend the depths of the soul – and our complex but sinful human heart. Nor can it fathom the sovereign plans of God.

    Does God Know What He is Doing? (Romans 9:1-5) Introduction to Romans 9:1-11:36 In verse 1-6a, Paul answers the question, “If God is sovereign and works in hearts to create belief or hardens hearts, if He knows the future, and He has promised to exalt Israel, how do we account for Israel’s ...read more

    A close look at what Jesus considered greatness.

    Who is the Greatest? Who is the greatest person in this church? That should be an easy question to answer if we use our culture’s criteria of greatness. In our society greatness is decided with three measuring rods: • Money • Beauty and • Brains All we would need to do is submit our financial ...read more

    A leader with any great undertaking must choose his staff. Here Jesus is choosing his staff, his right-hand men, and his helpers in the days of his flesh. They were very ordinary men. Jesus saw the Jews as wandering and lost sheep straying without a shepherd.
