"Do You Know Me?”

Contributed by Mike Bence on Feb 11, 2025

Our personal relationship with God is vital for this life and the eternal, we can’t simply rely on what we are told, we must know him ourselves. Jesus walked this earth but no one truly knew Him, we have that opportunity today and now to walk with Him and know Him.

Do You Know Me? John 14 8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?

When Your Dreams Fall Into The Pit Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 14, 2025

Like Israel sent Joseph to his brothers because of his love and concern for his rebellious children, God sent His son Jesus out of love for a world that is lost and distant from Him because of their sin. God is concerned for both your daily and eternal welfare.

Today, we are in Genesis 37. If you remember, for 20 years Jacob went from running, to wrestling, to resolving issues with God and his brother Esau. On his journey back home to Hebron, he endured deep sorrow — the rape of his daughter, Dinah, the shame of his sons’ violent revenge, and the loss of ...read more

Waiting On God

An examination of the importance of and manner in which we are to wait on God in our lives.

Preachers In Perdition

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 6, 2024

Many professed Christians will be turned away from Heaven because they have trusted an act rather than trusting the Son of God.
