    We tend in our enthusiasm to forget that WE are not the saviors of the world. The world already has one of those, and He is unmatchable.

    Saturday of the Fourth Week in Course 2024 Today St. Mark’s Gospel interjects a short story about Jesus counseling His disciples how to be effective missionaries. ‘And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while."’ The great saints advise similar rest ...read more

    See Jesus Defeat The Devil

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,115 views

    Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.

    David versus Goliath. Thousands of years after their brief battle it is still used to describe conflicts. You have probably heard the comparison several times in recent days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clearly Russia is Goliath and Ukraine David. But don’t we also regularly hear the ...read more

    My heart was blessed this week when I read about the young man in Pickens S.C who not only stood up for the Lord but, he did it in front of his classmates, teachers, family and his home town that is under attack by some who want to take prayer out

    If we are not for God then, we are against Him. Psalm 94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? We live in a day when it seems evil and those that are against God seem to be winners. Every time you turn on the news or open the ...read more

    In today's world, the church appears to be busy, but is it truly fulfilling God's mission? Are we, as a church, actively 'occupying' or merely resting on past achievements while waiting for the Lord's return? This sermon explores these questions and calls for a more proactive approach to our faith.

    When we look at the modern church, we see that it is busy as a whole. But are we truly accomplishing what God has given us? Is the church actively occupying, or are we simply resting on past achievements and waiting for the Lord's return? In Luke 19:13, Jesus called his ten servants, gave them ten ...read more

    A Broken Man Before The Boundless Gospel

    Locked doors and crowded rooms can stop most people, but real faith finds a way. In Mark 2:1–12 four friends tear through a roof to place a paralytic before Jesus—He forgives first, then heals—showing His authority and calling us to carry others to Him.

    A little while ago I was installing a keypad lock on the door to my upstairs studio—just trying to add an extra layer of security for my equipment, cameras, computers, all that production stuff. So I set the keypad lock up, got the old handle out of the door, got the batteries in, set the code, all ...read more

    Exercising your Faith. Faith is a strong spiritual muscle but if it isn't exercised it becomes weak. Faith is not stagnate, It moves and shakes. Faith needs action to work to its fullest strength.

    What is faith? Faith is a little word that is often taken for granted. The word faith is thrown around by a lot of different people in a lot of different ways. Everyone has faith to some degree or another. An atheist may not have faith in God but he or she has faith in something. If they drive a ...read more
