    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 3, 2023
     | 1,058 views

    Amos is not well received when he visits Israel and holds a mirror up to their behavior.

    REPORTER Good morning. I am special correspondent Shinon Byorus for the Mesopotamian News Network, coming to you live from Bethel in Israel. Controversy has been stirring here for months around the inflammatory rhetoric from the prophet Amos, who appeared some time ago from Judea with a very harsh ...read more

    Harvest Time

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 3, 2023
     | 2,206 views

    What are you sowing? What will your harvest be, on the Day of the Lord?

    One of the things I loved about living in South Jersey, where I served my first church, was the fresh peaches. I love peaches even more than I love sweet corn. So as soon as they started appearing, I started buying. And every time I went into the local farmer’s market (Puglia’s) I would just wander ...read more

    The valley of the shadow of death looms over the earth in the form of the global COVID-19 pandemic. But, God assures his children that he is with them in the valley and will deliver them by his mighty power.

    TEXT:Psalm 23:4. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." SHADOWS Shadows are the dark shapes formed on surfaces by objects when they are between light and the surface. Shadows are ...read more

    You must return to the Lord!! Full sermon

    Introduction: We are surrounded today by myriads of “evangelical” organization and our local churches are loaded with programs designed to promote evangelicalism and spiritual growth. Yet, for all this, souls are won in trickles and saints are sadly stunted. Where is our problem? Are all ...read more

    The Lord Is With Us Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Apr 23, 2020
     | 4,961 views

    We should not be asking whose side God is on, but rather if we are on God’s side. God is the Almighty. God is the Creator. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords… the proper question is “am I on God’s side?”

     | 1,636 views

    God’s wisdom, goodness, and justice transcend our assumptions about fairness and push beyond the limitations of human reasoning.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

    Worship And Justice

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 28, 2023
     | 1,156 views

    We deplore the loss of morality, the loss of civility, the loss of social stability - and yet how many of us recognize that those are only the deeper symptoms of a greater loss, the loss of our sense of accountability before God?

    Judah, the Hebrews’ southern kingdom, was big on denial. By 740 BC, when Isaiah began to preach, the brutal and ambitious kingdom of Assyria had amply demonstrated their intentions and abilities. They were bent on conquering Egypt, the prize of the Mediterranean, and had to conquer everything else ...read more

    Unexpected Events (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
     | 3,281 views

    Message analyzes the incident in Exodus 4:24-26 when God sought to kill Moses. Why were God's dealings so severe when he was on his way to Egypt to do what God told him to do at the burning bush? What lessons can the Christian draw from this story?

    Before we get into the message, I want to mention an opportunity we have in this season. Tomorrow, September 6th at sunset begins the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah). That also launces the annual Ten Days of Awe on the Jewish calendar which culminates on September 16th with Yom Kippur, the Day of ...read more

    This is the second in a two-part series on the topic, "Do Justice".

    I was probably 9 or 10 when the doorbell rang one day, and answering the door, I recognized the man holding a clipboard as a neighbor, father of a friend of mine. He asked if my dad was home, and in a few moments, Dad came to the door. After exchanging pleasantries, the gentleman informed Dad of ...read more

    Be Prepared

    Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Nov 9, 2020
     | 4,735 views

    Being prepared in life is very helpful in reducing stress when one faces the inevitable delays of everyday life. Scripture teaches us that being prepared in faith is useful as well as we a wait the coming of the kingdom of heaven.

    Delays; they are an inevitable part of our everyday lives. We experience delays in a variety of ways, but one of the most common delays that we all experience is in our travels, be it from weather, road construction, or traffic. While these delays are unavoidable, there are steps that we can take ...read more

    Whats does 'The Day of the Lord ' in Amos, and the praable of the 10 virgins have in common? How we behave while we wait.

    Introduction This morning we have two quite controversial passages to look at. By controversial, I mean that their interpretation is disputed, with different commentators proposing different understandings. So, I’m going to look at each passage separately and then try to see if there is common ...read more

    The worst famines are artificially made ones.

    Famine in a Time of Plenty Amos 8:11: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.” Times were relatively good in both Israel and Judah in the time of the Prophet Amos, at ...read more

     | 3,627 views

    It's shocking to many that God sometimes is the cause of hardship in our lives. When that happens, what is He hoping to accomplish?

    “HE SAID WHAT?!”: Sometimes hardship is from God. - Amos 4:6-12. - This passage might have been shocking to you. “What do you mean God did all these things?” Today we sometimes think of Him exclusively as a kindly grandfather who would never say a cross word to anyone. That, however, is not ...read more
