    The Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C; The people of the world live lives that are DOWNWARD and INWARD. As God’s people, redeemed by Jesus’ blood and righteousness, we can live our lives UPWARD and OUTWARD.

    Imagine a ship at sea. The clouds are dark, the wind is strong, and the waves are rough. Is the ship in danger? It all depends on direction—which way it is headed. If it is going toward the harbor, it’s safe. If it is pointed toward the rocks, it’s in trouble! Life is like that. Two identical ...read more

    The time between Christmas and New Years is a good time to reflect. To reflect on the past year, and to contemplate the future. Janua, which is the start of the word January means a door or a window that allows a person to look both ways. So no wonder it was chosen to be the first month of the ...read more

    God made man with a purpose in mind.

    A look at Romans 14 to determine what Christians can do to encourage others in the faith while growing towards Righteousness in our own lives as well.

    So often, the things that the world considers to be joy giving are in very stark contrast to the message of the gospel. It is perhaps no more clearly illustrated than in our scripture reading for today. Looking at the political world, the business world, the financial world, the world of ...read more

    Jesus exposes real emotions as he comes to Jerusalem for the last time. It tells a lot about his attitude towards the lost, and towards our hearts as well.

    Jesus has just given a long story about a man who goes to become a king and what his servants do while he is gone. It has a lot of spiritual application, but it is very interesting considering what happens next. In the parable Jesus talks about a king that goes to receive his kingdom but the people ...read more

    Was Paul A Good Preacher?

    Men tend to judge speakers according to a standard that Paul did not even desire to meet. Maybe our judgement needs a little realignment with scripture.

    Was Paul A Good Preacher? Hmmm. I’ve often wondered how many churches would pass on hiring Paul for their pulpit minister. • Everyone is a TV evangelist right now. • Pick and choose what style you like, what subject matter you are interested in. • Almost like a competition on Facebook between ...read more

    Paul had experienced much success in ministry, and yet he knew he had not arrived. He resolved to release the past, embrace the present, and anticipate the future. We must continue to seek all the Lord has for us. We cannot be complacent or satisfied.

    Committed to Serve Philippians 3:12-16 As you study the life of Paul, you realize the opportunities he once enjoyed. As far as men were concerned, Paul once had it all – power, position, and prestige. He was a rising star with a bright future within the religious elite in Jerusalem. All of ...read more

    Gracious God, as we open Your Word today, let it speak to our hearts and transform our minds. Help us to see the difference between the old way and the new way, between fear and grace, between bondage and freedom.

    Church family, I want you to imagine standing at the foot of two mountains. One mountain is shrouded in darkness, smoking with fire, echoing with the sound of thunder. The other mountain is bathed in light, filled with celebration, where angels sing and the righteous have gathered. Today, the ...read more

    We have communion in our church service because the Lord tells us that as OFTEN AS WE DO IT WE DO IT IN REMEMBERANCE OF HIM.

    Great men and women have come and gone, and our history books are filled with reminders of what they did when they were here.
