     | 2,335 views

    In the next few moments, I want to help you celebrate marriage, whether married, divorced, or single. God gave us marriage for our happiness. God gave us marriage to be a blessing in our lives. Your marriage can serve as a catalyst for your relationship with God.

    When I say the word “marriage,” what do you think? Are you a little jaundice about the idea of marriage? I spoke to a lady recently who said when I got married I was looking for the ideal, instead, the marriage became an ordeal, so now I want a new deal. One day, a man went to the Super Bowl, ...read more

    Stand Firm

     | 4,066 views

    As followers of Jesus we MUST stand firm in the struggle against evil just as Nehemiah did in his work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

    Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV) 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And ...read more

    Divide Your Love Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,485 views

    The command to love one another is sandwiched between two reasons to love that are both descriptions of the birth of hope. Love is encased in hope.

    “What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life” (Emil Brunner) There are a lot of reasons for us not to be hopeful. I listed some just this week as I thought about this message: Suicide Stillborn children Multiple Sclerosis Sexual Abuse Eating Disorder Special Needs ...read more

    Multiply Your Zeal Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,950 views

    The overall shape of the Bible’s story is like a U in which events begin in perfection, fall into corruption, and painfully wind their way back to the final defeat of evil and the triumph of good. The crucial turning point is the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    Because the end is near… pray, love, and serve.

    Honestly, many of us are little afraid of closely examining the Bible’s message on the future. If we focus on the end times too long, we are afraid of turning into a guy walking around the city with a sandwich board yelling about judgment and the end of time. We easily get confused when reading ...read more

    Encouraging Dads To Tell Their Story Series

     | 2,312 views

    You see, the gospel is not just something you hold onto but the gospel has its hold on you. The power of the Gospel on a person is most evident when you see its hold on a person.

    Happy Father’s Day! Dads, there are too few good fathers around. Dads, I want to speak to encourage you to deepen your commitment to living a life of integrity in Christ. To know Jesus is to have a story of how you came to know Jesus. This story is often referred to as your “testimony.” In fact, ...read more

    Jesus Loves Sinners Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 4,395 views

    Jesus is the shepherd who loves the sheep whose performance is the worst. He loves in spite of your poor obedience, your poor performance. No one has been more inclusive of sinners than Jesus.

    Jesus tells us three stories that arrives at a climax with a return of a son to his family and his father. These three stories, finding a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son, form a pyramid where the three show us the same truth but each side shows a different shade and nuance to God’s love. ...read more

     | 4,447 views

    Only the Lord’s love is perfect, unlimited, and eternal and only through His Word and His Spirit can we begin to comprehend the immensity and the intensity of this love.

    Last Sunday, we shared from John 15 where Jesus was speaking about His identity as the true vine, the source of new life. Jesus was actually comparing Himself as the true vine to the false vine - the nation of Israel who produced bad fruit. Those who derived their lives from the old and saw ...read more

    For the love of family, we must love our spouses. But what does it mean to love our spouses? Scripture teaches us that the marriage of a man and woman is a picture of Jesus and His bride, the church. We need to learn to love our spouses as Jesus loves the church.
