Where You Were Called

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 26, 2021

Be sure God has not called you to stay where you are before you run off to be used of Him.

Called Out: The Role Of The Church

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and no one else (Matthew 16:13-19). We have strayed from what the Scriptures teach about the church's purpose and responsibilities and instead allowed the world's opinions take precedence over what we are to be and do.

When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 12, 2021

This was a celebration of the life of a woman who was ready to meet the Lord face-to-face. This person stated she was ready when the Lord called her home.

When we lose a loved one, we often have questions for God. I know you are hurting today. So, God gives us a word about hurt. Losing a loved one hurts. God understands our hurt and He encourages us to express our hurt to him. Many times, on days like today, we try to deny our hurt or ignore it. ...read more

Grace-Filled Service Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Mar 26, 2012
