A Fountain Can Not Produce Bitter And Sweet Water.

Contributed by James Linders on Jul 7, 2015

We as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ, have a certain behavioural code by which we live. To DENY our Lord would be a GROSS violation of THIS code. UNLIKE Peter and Judas, we have the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us in ALL truth.

Matthew 26:74 Peter began to curse and swear: "I don't KNOW that man!" Matthew 26:14-16 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him ...read more

Amazed And Afraid

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 26, 2021

Obedience to God’s Word is never mandated nor vainly beneficial. It is transformational. Following God’s Word changes us. Certain things will follow. Obedience will make a difference, and as James shows us, he gives us examples of some of the changes to come.

Resurrection

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 26, 2018

My purpose is to examine what we can know for certain while we live on this side of the veil through which we pass to whatever lies beyond it, hidden from our view, and learn what it tells pertaining to life on this side of the grave.

Sermon # 11 - Chosen For A Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 25, 2024

The life of Jonah teaches us that there is nothing we do is hidden from God. Also, we learn that as a church we must be certain of our identity and our purpose so we can glorify God through all we are and all we do.

We read in Jonah 1:7-8, Then the men said to each other, "We should throw lots to find out why this is happening to us." So the men threw lots. The lots showed that the troubles came to them because of Jonah. Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is ...read more
