Mothers Are Extra Special - With Humor

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on May 13, 2012

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 26, 2016

Aligning My Will With God’s Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 21, 2018

The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.

Acting Good Or Good Actions?

Contributed by Judith Hand on Feb 8, 2014

True religion is not acting good but doing good.

3: Building Up The Church Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019

Do you neglect your soul all week, then come to church, expecting to be filled up? Or do you nourish your soul all week and come to build up others?

The Bible is full of different images to try to explain what the church is like and how it works. For example, the Apostle Paul often talks about the church as a building. But he didn’t mean a building made of wood or brick or stone. He meant a figurative building in which the members of the ...read more
