In verses 7-8: Everybody accepts that love is significant, yet we ...read more

Post Salvation Blues

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 21, 2023

The greatest feeling of our life was the day we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. That feeling doesn't last forever. We have to live in this sinful world. We all experience post salvation blues. The word of God can encourage us to overcome.

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 28, 2023

Sacrificial Giving Series

What Makes Us Uncomfortable

Contributed by Richard Stevens on Oct 18, 2023

There are people and situations that make us uncomfortable. Rather than avoiding those people or situations, what should be our response to them? How should we handle them? Fortunately, we have an example in the Gospel of Luke to guide us.

INTRODUCTION In my opinion, I think we can boil those that make us uncomfortable down to, basically two kinds of people - CRAZY people and NAKED people. In Luke 8:26-39, we see that Jesus met a man who was both. CRAZY and NAKED. “ And they arrived at the country of the ...read more

To God Be The Glory Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 10, 2021

Power and glory belong only to God. He himself calls his Church, and rules, sanctifies and preserves it through his Word and his Spirit. Therefore, in return for the goodness bestowed upon us, we ought to thank and praise God, directing all our efforts to the recognition and glory of his name.

Our Prayers, Our Passions & Our Praise The position is that the end of all things is at hand. The miserable destruction of the nation foretold by our Saviour is now very near; consequently, the time of their persecution and our sufferings is but very short.
