    “If God had a Twitter account, what would he tweet?” The Bible contains five short one-chapter books. The second, Philemon, is a tweet about a runaway slave changed by the gospel of Jesus.

    Tweets from God: Philemon Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 5/22/2016 Last Sunday I began a series I’m calling Tweets from God.

    Jesus Takes Questions: Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 3,295 views

    Allow me to set the scene. It’s Tuesday, just seventy-two hours away from His death and about sixty-four hours away from Judas’ famous kiss. So many items are going on Tuesday that we are devoting three Sundays to the happenings on Tuesday.

    This a three-month long study of just one week in the life of Jesus. The power of this week lies in all that happened. And it deserves both retelling and a careful scrutiny. Bracketed by Palm Sunday on one end and Easter Sunday on the other, this is the most important week in history. On Friday, ...read more

    Under Authority

    What we perhaps don’t realize is that Christians are also under authority, civilians enlisted in the same cause, fighting evil and promoting the good.

    I was watching an old Humphrey Bogart movie the other night, called Action in the North Atlantic. It was about the merchant marine in WWII, not about the navy.

    The world is moving to a universal conformity as governments legislate for uniformity and control. But what about the Christian for he/she must not compromise the faith. As evil increases how will that impact Christians. Compromise is an ever increasing danger.

    On Membership Part Two Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jul 17, 2023
     | 1,214 views

    the Bible clearly teaches that Christians are members of the Body of Christ. But is local church membership Biblical? We examine this in this study. This is not a typical sermon, but more of a Bible study lesson for our congregation.

    In doing some serious study on membership and what that looks like in the Church at a local level one encounters a potential problem. It just isn’t there. That’s not to say it is bad, wrong, or sinful to have formal membership rolls, as having such is very practical and quite helpful to local ...read more

     | 2,032 views

    Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.

    Unhindered Forgiveness

    Contributed by Kory Labbe on May 6, 2023
     | 1,784 views

    Forgiveness is one of the basic principles of the faith and yeah it is a discipline that is one of the hardest for us to master. Too often forgiveness has been misunderstood and therefore out of grasp of us. Unhindered forgiveness is the first step to radical healing in our lives.

    Life is not easy. This is one thing that you talk to anybody, and everyone will agree that there are hard things that happen in this life. Right before Jesus was arrested in John 16, Jesus is trying to prepare his disciples for what is about to come. Verse 32: 32 But the time is coming—indeed ...read more
