A Dynamic Church Worships Joyfully Series

Contributed by Glenn Durham on Aug 5, 2008

God renews our hearts so we feel what is true.

Making Sense Of Life And Death

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 3, 2009

Life has to be more than what many in our time think it is. It does have meaning, as does death, if we live out of our sense of the purposes of God and if we have Christ as our constant companion.

He was all of thirteen years old, just beginning to emerge from boyhood and to fill out a little. He seemed, to look at him, alert, intelligent, full of the mischief you would expect from somebody entering the awkward years. His voice wavered between high-pitched laughter and the creaking croaking ...read more

Just When You Think You Have Arrived

Contributed by James May on Jan 4, 2009

We haven’t arrived until we reach that place that Jesus has prepared for us. No amount of success in this life means that we have arrived.

Knowing God: The Source Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 5, 2009

The writer of Job explains to us the difference between human wisdom and the wisdom that comes from God. How do we find wisdom?

KNOWING GOD: THE SOURCE OF WISDOM Why do we need wisdom? Someone said that knowledge is the ability to take something apart; wisdom is needed to put it back together again. I am not sure where that saying came from but I think it makes partial sense. A young man in our congregation told me ...read more

Are Christians Destined To Be Borg?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 20, 2008

Does having the mind of Christ mean being mindless?

If you are not a Star Trek fan you may be wondering what in the world is up with that title. Star Trek has been used to preach “another gospel” since the original series came on in 1965. Only since I became a Christian in 1975 have I understood the Star Trek message. Before that it was just ...read more

Paul Of Arabia Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Oct 13, 2011

Our zeal and God's timing are often very different things. God knows when, where and how to make us ready for and get us started in our ministry so that we can experience our full potential.

Somewhat funny series of commercials that ask the same familiar question: ‘Do you wanna get away’. People find themselves in awkward or embarrassing situations and need to exit them as quickly as possible. Saul, soon to be Paul, was in just such a moment in his own life. One of the ...read more
