     | 8,541 views

    Some people say, “There are different path’s that lead to God!” “It really doesn't matter what you believe or do, as long as you are sincere!”

    Matthew 7:13-14-“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Everyone is on a journey and there is a ...read more

    Certain aspects of various Church doctrines have divided the church and created multiple denominations and divisions requiring great debate and careful thought to biblical interpretation.

    Today, I will present a short summation of the dominant schools of theological thought in the Church to help provide a cursory understanding of them. "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For who has ...read more

    What if this verse read, “if you don’t ask you will get only what you can get on your own, if you don’t seek God you will never really find him and if you don’t knock the important doors will ever be opened to you.”

    Matthew 7:7-8 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

     | 2,790 views

    On Tuesday of the final week of Jesus' earthly life, He spent the day teaching His disciples, the crowds and the religious leaders. His teaching was designed to confront some and comfort others. The choice is always ours.

    Taking Up Our Cross

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 14, 2024
     | 610 views

    The sixth church that Jesus addressed received no words of rebuke or chastisement. It was faithful to the Gospel, open to opportunities, and will be delivered from its enemies at the coming hour of trial upon the world. Take up your cross and do the same.

    Good morning, dear friends. It's a joy to welcome you to this moment of shared faith, a time of communion in the Word of God. We gather here, not merely as individuals, but as a community united by the love of Christ, a love that transcends our differences and binds us together as one family ...read more

    Knocking On Heaven's Door (Psalm 122)

    Contributed by James Jackson on Aug 10, 2025
     | 387 views

    Three things give us confidence to knock on Heaven's Door: We've been invited, Someone's home, and we desperately want what's inside.

    For a lot of people, there are few things more intimidating than knocking on a door. Think of the tension: at the closed door of your boss’s office. The front door of your prom date’s house. The front door of a neighbor’s house when you have girl scout cookies to sell. Knocking on a door can ...read more

    Ask And Seek The Right Thing! Knock At The Right Door! Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,063 views

    I've heard the exhortations to Ask, Seek and Knock in isolation from the Golden Rule. They are irrevocably connected. One concept leads to the other. Jesus points to the way God treats us in order to show us how treat each other.

    Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. The standard message on this passage is, we need to ask, and when we ask God ...read more

    Practice Makes Perfect

    Your personal best requires that you take on the mindset of an athlete. An athlete runs to win. They exercise disciplines for the win when the door opens for opportunity. They sacrifice for what they believe in.

    Everyone has heard the phrase “Practice makes perfect” or at least I think they have. It’s such an old adage, I’m not sure if anyone knows who said it first. Regardless of who coined the phrase, the Bible is full of wisdom concerning this very notion of practice and results. ...read more
