     | 67 views

    The sermon encourages believers to move beyond comfort, pursue spiritual growth, and press on with perseverance, relying on God’s grace rather than personal strength.

    Friends, welcome. Some days feel like a treadmill set just a little too fast—our feet are moving, our hearts are pumping, but are we actually getting anywhere? If you’ve ever felt stalled, stuck, or simply stale, you’re in good company. The apostle Paul knew that sensation, and he writes with a ...read more

    Is There Life After Death? The Empty Tomb Of Jesus Examined Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Nov 26, 2023
     | 868 views

    Can a human live beyond the grave? That is the question we consider today. Many in our world today believe after death, there is nothing, life is simply over.

    “When Corrie Ten Boom of The Hiding Place was a little girl in Holland, her first realization of death came after a visit to the home of a neighbor who had died. It impressed her that some day her parents would also die. Corrie's father comforted her with words of wisdom. "Corrie, when you ...read more

    The first son who "refused" to work, eventually did. The second son who "agreed" to work, later decided not to. Those expected to do great things for God can sometimes fail; whereas, those least expected can be used in a mighty way.

    Have you ever felt God asking you to do some type of ministry that you believed was beyond your capabilities, and then you became reluctant? Did you say to yourself, “I’m never going to do that?” This is the way many people respond to the Lord’s call on their life. I’ve heard it said you should ...read more

    Sly sneaky attack! Joshua 9:4”….on their part acted with cunning and went and made ready provisions and took worn-out sacks for their donkeys, and wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended.” You may be aware of a frontal attack but not so when it is sly, sneaky, surreptitious and ...read more

    Establishing Strong Christian Families Series

     | 3,568 views

    Strong Christian families are important in and of themselves, but beyond that as testimony to attract a lost and hurting broken world to Christ. People want to know if following Christ makes a difference.

    There are two God ordained institutions. The first is the church that Jesus Christ instituted. The second is marriage and family established by God at the Garden of Eden. We need to support Christian marriages and Christian families. The church should see as a goal to establish strong Christian ...read more
