God Bless You

Contributed by Grant Van Boeschoten on Apr 5, 2017

Some fun with origins to start the message. “God Bless You” - AD 590 Pope Gregory I commanded unending prayer and to say God bless you after a person sneezed, since sneezing was one of the first signs of the plague “Good Bye” - from 1565, the original phrase was “God be with ye” became contracted ...read more

Deceptive Gold Works Its Penalty – God Is Not Mocked Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2022

Sin has consequences. It always returns to hurt the sinner. A farmer set out to deceive with gold and over time, became a mental case. We must stand on the ONE solid foundation and contend earnestly for the faith that is under attack. We have a common salvation we must defend vigorously.

DECEPTIVE GOLD WORKS ITS PENALTY – GOD IS NOT MOCKED In 1960 Arnold Long, a missionary to the people of the Australian outback, wrote “The Bushman’s Guide.

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 7, 2020

The first chapter of Ephesians is dedicated to telling the Christians there how pretty they are to God. Why would Paul spend all that ink and paper on this topic? And what can that mean to us?

You've Got A Lot Going For You, Part 1: God The Father

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

Too many Christians feel inadequate to be any use to God or their church. Paul reminds the Ephesian Christians of the resources they have going for them.

They have heard a number of times that God loves them, but in their hearts, they wonder. They feel a little lonely at church, a little on the sidelines. And they’d like to get to ...read more
