     | 2,197 views

    Isn’t Advent a time of expectation and preparation? Doesn’t Advent challenge us to make changes in our lives? ... Didn’t David write this Psalm expressing remorse as well as the hunger for righteousness that only God could give him? Do we have that yearning in common with David?

    Remember O Lord, Your Great Mercy Text: Psalm 25 Psalm 25:1-10  Of David. To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.  (2)  O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.  (3)  Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let ...read more

     | 3,040 views

    Since we are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26,27) all of who we are belong to God! How well and how often do we take that timeless advice---giving to God what belongs to Him?

    Matthew 22:15-21  Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in what he said.  (16)  So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no ...read more

    Jesus Is Mighty God

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 13, 2021
     | 3,150 views

    What Isaiah is prophesying here about this child who would come, he is saying something that is very distinct. The Messiah would be called Mighty. But calling the coming Messiah “Mighty – God” means even more.

    Alba 12-12-2021 JESUS IS MIGHTY GOD Here we are, closing in on Christmas again. In less than two weeks that day will come. Isn’t it really something that a baby born in a stable in a place called Bethlehem, thousands of miles from the United States, can cause traffic jams in countless cities, ...read more

    When God Calls Your Name: Moses Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021
     | 5,426 views

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Moses Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/31/2016 For the last couple of weeks, we’ve been talking about how you might respond if God called your name—not just once, but twice.
