    This is the first of a series of messages based on some of the most popular Christmas hymns.

    Nothing has the ability to communicate a message as powerfully as music. In fact, Martin Luther wrote, “Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.” It is the music that we hear that lets us know that Christmas is right around the corner. There are more songs written about ...read more

    The Undeserving Rescue Series

     | 5,784 views

    God responded to the prayer of an ungodly king because He saw the oppression of His people and came to their rescue. God is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love.

    For the last two chapters (2 Kings 11-12) we looked the Southern Kingdom of JUDAH. • We saw how Queen Athaliah seized power and how Joash was saved as an infant and raised secretly in the temple of God for six years until he was made King. • Today – 2 Kings 13 - we are swinging back to the ...read more

    Our faith grows. If you don't have much, don't worry. It will come with time.

    Successful servant leaders display humility towards those whom they serve.

    Every denomination has heroes of the faith. Perhaps if you are Baptist – it is Charles Spurgeon! If you are Pentecostal, it may be Aimee Semple McPherson or Phoebe Palmer! Or if you belong to the Alliance Church – it may be A.W. Tozer! These people are not only an inspiration to the people of ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,035 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more
