A New Year’s Examination

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jan 10, 2024

With a new year comes a time for self-examination of your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ. Have you ghosted Him? Have you friend zoned Him? Or do you have a loving relationship with Him?

It is our tradition in this church, as well as many others, to share the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month. Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian Christians is especially appropriate as one begins a new year: “Let a man examine himself.” Being that this is the first ...read more

Parables Of The Kingdom – The Third - The Mustard Seed - Part 3 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025

We have seen how the parable of the mustard seed matches to church at Pergamum, and in this study today we look into that letter John wrote. In that church God wanted overcomers. We’ll consider the Nicolaitans, the hidden manna, the white stone with the new name.

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE THIRD - THE MUSTARD SEED - PART 3 of 4 In the second Part we focused on Constantine who married the church to the State with his Babylonian paganism. The church was weakened after that point as it embraced these evil doctrines of the birds of the air. The mustard ...read more

The Deadly Art Of Idolmaking

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 19, 2025

Because He Lives

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025

Because He lives, the Great Commission becomes resurrection life in motion—Christ’s presence transforming ordinary believers into living proof of His victory.

Nothing can strike a note of guilt in the Christian heart quite as fast as the Great Commission—perhaps raising our kids comes close—but this one has a special sting. We read the words and instantly feel their weight: > “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given unto Me. Therefore go ...read more
