    Caricature Or Reality (Part 1)

    Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 23, 2017
     | 5,475 views

    In order to pray, worship and serve God effectively, we need to understand who he is. This begins with an understanding that he is first of all holy. Only when we get a handle on his holiness can everything else fall into place.

    Do you know what a caricature is? You see them all the time when you pick up a newspaper. You often have political cartoons where the details are not true life representations. Prominent features are often exaggerated and non-prominent features are diminished or eliminated altogether. If you go to ...read more

    Every analogy Jesus Used to refer to us has a meaning. What does it mean we are the salt? Why salt and not sugar? Today we will learn how to be salt and how to maintain our saltness.

    You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Matthew 5:13. You are the salt of the earth. You are expected to maintain your saltiness because they are a ...read more

    Joseph, serving as Jesus’ earthly father figure, was an exemplary father. He was not only an excellent role model for his son, but within Joseph lies a certain character trait, which just happens to be Jesus’ strongest attribute.

    The Christian singer Michael Card wrote a piece entitled Joseph’s Song. To begin this morning, I am going to read a few lines from this song. Listen closely, and from what you know about Joseph from the Bible, think about whether these words could have come from Joseph’s own heart: Lord I know ...read more

    Everyone gets tired now and then, but God’s power never diminishes, and He is never too fatigued or too preoccupied to hear us or to assist us.

    We gain our strength from Him, and to do that, we need to take a moment to refresh ourselves and gain energy. That is accomplished when we can call upon the Lord for help. • Jeremiah 31:25, For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. • Psalm 27:14, Wait on the ...read more

    A Church Built On Christ Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2024
     | 1,368 views

    Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

    I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more

    The lives of Cain and Abel teach us some important lessons about ourselves and our spiritual lives.

    In the book of Genesis, we find the root and fruit of sin. The root of sin is disbelief and disobedience to God's commands.
