Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 27, 2015

We have been commanded to lead people out of darkness into God’s wonderful light. To proclaim the truth that Jesus is the light of the world. If we dress up as witches, demons, etc we are embracing darkness not living as “children of light"

Forgiven and brought from darkness to light The Bible teaches that we are forgiven when we repent and turn from our sins and become disciples of Jesus. When we trust in Jesus, and Jesus alone, we are set free from the punishment our sins deserve because of what Jesus did at Calvary. He died that ...read more

Rejected And Selected

Contributed by David Roth on Feb 10, 2015

Proper 15 (A) We rejected God, in the Garden of Eden and at the Cross. But He has selected us. Therefore we live confidently knowing that salvation is based in His election, not our selection.

The Fatherhood Of God

Contributed by John Hamby on Jun 12, 2019

Have You Forgiven Your Brethren? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 22, 2019

If we truly understand and receive the meaning of God's work through the Cross; the least we can do is to forgive one another out of gratefulness for his mercy.

God, in his infinite mercy, never disconnected from his creation. The disconnect came into play due to our disobedience; whether we prefer to blame Adam for the fall of mankind or ourselves since we manage to come up with a few poor choices here and there. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have ...read more

Contributed by Bola Folakemi Praise on Mar 16, 2020

Fathers-Passing On The Faith

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jun 17, 2018

Fathers are crucial to the next generation. Not passing on the faith, not just mere beliefs, by living out the truths of God's Word, will turn us into a godless society within a generation. Look around at our country, we are almost there.

The first place to share your faith is where you live. Remember we must back up our words with our life. Our goal in life is to live a life that reflects Jesus Christ. Fathers are to lead the way as the spiritual leader in the family. The question for fathers this morning is; What are you passing ...read more
