First Things First Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jan 2, 2012

Understanding how quickly life goes by and how long eternity is should teaches us to have the right priorities. Getting to know God in a personal way should be our greatest priority in life.

FIRST THINGS FIRST [NEW YEAR] MATTHEW 6:33 [25-34] Jesus presented evidence that worry is irreverent, for it fails to believe that God is in control, that the God who gave us life is sustaining it. Worry is irrelevant because it does not change things nor help us cope with problems. And worry ...read more

No Place, No Space = No Grace Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Feb 2, 2011

This message from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

True Freedom In Christ

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

Intro We Americans revel in our freedom. We delight in our freedom to do what we want, when we want. We believe it’s our right to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But of course, we know that political freedom is always conditional. I am not free to interfere with your ...read more

Jesus And The Ot Law

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Feb 15, 2014

Jesus up the ante when he tells his disciples that the Law i to be tesy-ted in their own conscience rather than just that which can be proved in a Court of Law

Jesus and the OT I am amazed how little time Christians devote to study the Old Testament – yet for Jesus it was “THE SCRIPTURE” He said not a jot or tittle of the Law would pass away – so we would do well to study it closely. Many Christians think that as Jesus came to ...read more
