While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022

Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 6, 2019

Jesus, in His time on earth, was under attack in many ways by the Jewish leaders. He was argued with, defamed and crucified. Many in our society are attacking Jesus as well even from within some churches. Do we know enough about Jesus and His Word to recognize false teaching?

Why She Gave Series

Contributed by Scott Sutton on Oct 31, 2022

Christmas is less than 2 months away, in fact it’s only 56 days from today! I don't believe anyone would argue the fact that Christmas is the season of giving. Maybe you remember this book. It is one of the most popular fiction books ever written on the subject of giving at Christmastime.

New Year 2023: Ask, And It Will Be Given To You!

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jan 8, 2023

Some argue that we don't need to express our desires to God because He already knows what we want without us saying it. Some think that without asking, God will give us what we need. What does the Bible teach about expressing our wishes to God or asking God to provide us with our desires?
