    Why would you want to settle for just “doing church” when you could be filled with the awe of God?

    Mary and I are truly grateful to the church for providing us with some extended time off to celebrate our 40th anniversary. As usual, it was great to have some down time just to relax and be refreshed on our vacation and, other than the cold that I think I picked up on the way home when there were ...read more

     | 6,732 views

    In verses 1-4 we can see love from (1) The Coming Lord (Malachi 3:1-2)and from (2) The Purifying Lord (Malachi 3:3–4)

    As much as people love seeing Christmas movies and Norman Rockwell-esque nostalgia, we tend to find out that the life that we have now never seems to live up to that ideal. For those who have lived long enough, they tend to say that life has always been hard, and those depictions were always just ...read more

    The Memorial That Disappeared Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 11, 2021
     | 5,430 views

    The story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal is a classic. What we sometimes forget is that a memorial, an altar to the LORD, was already there before Elijah came! The rest of the story is gripping!

    Introduction: The days of Elijah were some of the best and some of the worst in Israel’s history. One of the highest points took place when God responded to Elijah’s prayer in a way that nobody could deny. Not only did this take place in the presence of pagan prophets, the event also took place ...read more

    Contributed by James Wallace on May 12, 2021
     | 4,024 views

    Incredibly, God can use our disabilities, as well as our abilities for His glory. A man born blind discovers this and it changes both his life and his destiny? How can God use you in a similar way?

    Last week, in John 8, we saw how Jesus concluded his great and brutal debate with his avowed enemies, the Jewish religious leaders of his generation. He had begun the debate with the statement in the temple that He was the light of the world. He concluded it by making what I believe to be ...read more

    Christians live in the shadow of the resurrection.

    “You’re strange!” Those words might be heard on the school playground. The little boy who seems different from the rest – a bit odd – he’s strange to all the other children. It’s part of our human nature to point out apparent differences. We all do it in some way. Most of the time our ...read more

    PROPHETS AND POLITICS Who Can You Trust? These are perplexing times we live in. Some may not want to hear to what I am about to share.
