    The Heart Behind The Gift: Lessons From Cain And Abel

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Feb 28, 2026
     | 16 views

    This is a Lenten message about what we can learn from Cain and Abel about how we offer ourselves to God.

    We are currently in the season of Lent, the forty days leading up to Good Friday. One important aspect of Lent is its emphasis on sacrifice. It recognizes that choosing to do something out of the ordinary— restraining ourselves, setting aside a common pleasure, or adopting a new spiritual ...read more

    The Bible tells us to stay strong in our faith and to always meet together as a church. But when we look around, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason.

    In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,125 views

    In this chapter we learn of the anquish that sin causes, why Cain’s offering was rejected by God and how his attitude reveals what was in his heart - and the choices he made because of that attitude.

    Chapter 3 shows the fall of human kind and the infection of sin and the infiltration of sin. Chapter 4 shows the fall of the family and the impact of sin We move from unrepentant Cain to defiant Lamech Chapter 5 shows the attempts of man to counteract the fall while living in sin Overall chapters ...read more

    The Transfiguration Of Jesus

    In Jesus's Transfiguration, He reveals who we truly are and who we are to become by the grace of God.

    I suspect. Most of us look in a mirror at some point each day. We check our hair, makeup, teeth, and clothes. Mirrors show us what we look like. While it might be important to know what we look like, it’s more important to know who we are. That’s what this holy Feast of the Transfiguration is ...read more

    David & Goliath - The Battle Is The Lord's Series

    God is the one who saves, not by sword or spear, but by his power, by his word proclaimed in the gospel, by his Spirit who fills each one of us just as he filled David.

    I guess this would be one of the best known, if not THE best known story in the Bible. In fact it’s so well known that David has become a metaphor for the victorious underdog. He’s the archetypal cutter down of tall poppies. The one who can overcome the greatest odds to win through to victory. But ...read more

    Title: Temptation Is A Good Thing The Rev. Rian Adams Spiritual growth happens in the desert. That’s spiritual and literal for me!

    The Cross allows us to "deny oneself" from pure self interest to serve a higher purpose. It's a way for us to continually do a self check, and for us to be sanctified.
