    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 4, 2023
     | 1,148 views

    What does it mean to be the image of God? Is it doing or being or a combination of both?

    A few nights ago I attended a Shabbas - Sabbath - celebration at Temple Aaron, a Conservative Jewish synagogue in St. Paul. If you’ve never been to one try to get an opportunity; it’s a wonderful experience. But this one was a little different than most. To celebrate Martin Luther King’s birthday ...read more

    This message helps the listener understand the Biblical interpretation of the millennium by looking at 3 important truths. In this message i compare tv courtroom judges to the real judge.

    “Here Comes the Judge” Revelation 20:1-15 It’s interesting that there has been such an increase of shows on television that involve the court room. These shows really are all about the judge. He or she is the focus of the program. There is an entire station now devoted to Court TV. It all ...read more

    Even our most magnificent achievements seldom bring total satisfaction - Where do we go to find gusto, to find real joy in life?

    "You only go around once in life, so you’ve got to grab for all the gusto you can." Some of us remember that television commercial. But, what exactly is gusto? Well, according to my dictionary, it means "vigorous enjoyment, zest." Good stuff, but where do we find it? Well, according to that ...read more

    Be Present Among The Lost Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,145 views

    Some believers insist on keeping a safe distance from the lost, afraid of being contaminated by their behavior or being seen as guilty by association; and so they fail to share their faith with the ones who actually need their help.

    It is my desire to preach on real issues that we deal with as believers, so here’s a real observation to start off with: Some believers act like once they have received God’s forgiveness and been saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ that they’re somehow better than the lost. However, ...read more

    Free Lunch!

     | 3,411 views

    There are always claims of a "Free Lunch" but none of them prove to be true, with one exception. It's a real meal and it really is free.

    (This is a sermonette and/or illustration, that was taken from one of our Gospel tracts. It could be considered tongue-in-cheek. It simply explains the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and how to qualify to participate in it.) Someone once said there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” There are ...read more

    Jesus uses the picture of a vineyard to teach us about how to have real life, good fruit and benefit from the Lord pruning our lives.

    We live in the midst of Oregon wine country.
