    One of the greatest of all the psalms gives us hope when venturing out of the sheep pen that a God of great love will accompany us in life's darkest valleys.

    Psalm 23 is by far the most well-known of the psalms. Many people who are not Jewish or Christian can often recite it from memory. It has even made its way into popular films and TV shows (mostly in graveside scenes). Overall this psalm gives us a picture of God as provider, no matter what ...read more

    Here are some self-help principles from Daniel chapter 4 on putting an end to self-defeating behavior in your life.

    In Daniel chapter four we read of a king gone mad. This, by the way, is not unusual.

Sometimes it is directly tied to the ...read more

    What can we learn from ants, locust, rock badgers and lizards when it comes to the church?

    Well here we are. If Psalm 117 is indeed the middle chapter of the bible, and it is, then we are in a physical sense half way through the book. However that being said there are a lot more book in this half then there was in that half. Proverbs is the 20th book of the Bible out of 66, so it’s 20 ...read more

    The good news and the bad news is that growth brings people and new people bring different ideas. What do we do in times of conflict? Check out these thoughts from the church in Jerusalem.

    Growing pains- they can be a good thing. There’s a saying that goes, “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Growing pains can also be bad- after all, they’re a pain. It hurts. As a child growing to maturity, there are a number of times you go through ...read more

    Happiness is a choice. If you do not have it, it is no one else’s fault. It is because you have chosen otherwise. Arrange your priorities and choose the things that really matter.

    There are things that are more important to God, than what man thinks is important.

    (Phil. 3:4-14) "If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I MORE..." Paul was a man of words. They said about him, "His letters are weighty..." We understand now, that they were the very words of God. That Paul wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of ...read more

    I received the outline for this message from a local Nazarene colleague. It draws a comparison between the grace Christ extended to the lady caught in adultery and the grace shown by the elements of the communion table.
