    Courage, Not Fear

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 13, 2024
     | 2,154 views

    The theme of this message—overcoming fear with courage. Jesus's disciples in Matthew 14 had the opportunity to exhibit courage, and we do too. The key is fixing our eyes on Jesus.

    Today I want us to look at replacing our fear with courage. Are any of you afraid of heights? I'll have to admit that I am one that is very afraid of heights. When I was in my teenage years, I was helping my dad and brother replace the water lines and sucker rods in his well. He had a ...read more

    Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 9 – Judah The Harlot Blinded By Sin Polluted The Land Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024
     | 1,065 views

    I think the worse a man or woman is joined to sin, then the greater the blurriness of that person’s position becomes. Sin is the cancer that overtakes the ability to repent. Judah was so idolatrous; it craved after spiritual adultery with all the gods of the nations. Interesting Hosea.

    Carrying around worthless guilt robs us of so much happiness. It becomes a way of life we need to change so that we spend time telling others of the fullness of forgiveness we have received.

    Isaiah saw three visions: an upward one, of God; an inward one, of himself; and an outward vision, of the needs of the lost people around him. If we hope to change the world then we need the same three visions.
