Repairing God's House Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Feb 12, 2019

Taking care of the facilities God has blessed us with is important. The condition of God’s house often is a reflection of God’s people who gather there. If the house is in disrepair, the surrounding community would think the people who gather there are in disrepair as well.

Today we begin our renovation campaign of “Building in Faith.” Taking care of the facilities God has blessed us with is important. The condition of God’s house often is a reflection of God’s people who gather there. If the house is in disrepair, the surrounding community would think the people ...read more

Salt

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 24, 2021

Salt was scarce in the Near East in Jesus' day. It symbolized the bonds of friendship, peace and love between people. It is another example of the great commandment that Jesus gave us to love one another.

Salt Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 9:49-50 Mark 9:49 "For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 "Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you 1make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." This short narrative about salt ...read more

In It To Win It--We Are The Church

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Oct 11, 2016

Jesus said, He will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. However inner turmoil and division by the saints to groups within the church can greatly hinder the mission of the church.

Christ: Our Saviour And Our Example

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 5, 2012

A short talk for Good Friday. I am deeply challenged by Peter reminding us that when suffering for his faith, Jesus did not retaliate and made no threats; and we’re called to follow his example!

When I was at school there was no such thing as an anti-bullying policy, and I think I was on the receiving end of a large amount of abuse, mainly due to my surname, Pidgeon, and my painfully thin physique. As I look back I think I eventually adopted my own personal anti-bullying policy and it went ...read more

The First Testimony

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jan 12, 2011

As those who have encountered Christ and been transformed we, like John the Baptist and Andrew, should point to Christ and invite others into his presence.

What do people seek when they follow Jesus? Why do you follow Jesus? Such questions matter for us. If we can’t answer these questions for ourselves, then it seems as if our faith is empty. But our answer to such questions matters for other people too. According to John’s gospel, and the ...read more

Aristobulus And Narcissus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 10, 2022

We do not know anything about these two persons, men of position evidently, who had large households. But learned commentators of the New Testament have advanced a very sensible conjecture concerning each of them.

tom lowe 1/10/2022 Aristobulus and Narcissus Early Church Workers • Aristobulus was the grandson of Herod the Great and lived in Rome as a private citizen. • Since Paul does not greet him, but only those in his household, it is plausible to think he had either passed away or was not a ...read more
