    A New Year’s Examination

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jan 10, 2024
     | 3,051 views

    With a new year comes a time for self-examination of your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ. Have you ghosted Him? Have you friend zoned Him? Or do you have a loving relationship with Him?

    It is our tradition in this church, as well as many others, to share the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month. Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian Christians is especially appropriate as one begins a new year: “Let a man examine himself.” Being that this is the first ...read more

    The loss of a family member or friend can be very difficult. As we get older we begin to lose so many. Death is always a very sad and sobering time. But our Lord offers comfort to sustain us.

    I. WHAT IS OUR LIFE? A. All of Life is on a Timetable - In the physical sense, we are born to die. But, in the spiritual sense, we are born to live. What then is our life?  It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. God knows our frame; He ...read more

    Joseph had to choose to forgive his brothers. He saw God's sovereignty in the betrayal, he saw the same nature was in him and he tested their hearts with his brother. He forgave and never brought up the subject again.

In France, in the 1790’s, a priest, a lawyer and an engineer were arrested & about to be guillotined. The priest put his head on the block, they pulled the rope and nothing happened. He ...read more

    Jesus wants us to choose a simple life. The problem is we live in a consumer society which continuously bombards us with the message, you find life and meaning in the pursuit of things. We justify it by calling it the pursuit of the American dream. The mo

    Signs From The Bible

    Contributed by Dennis King on Mar 3, 2022
     | 2,205 views

    Are today's experiences representative signs of the Last Days? Signs are found throughout the Bible? God gives us repeated evidence, through signs and miracles, that He is there with us, with His people. And occasionally, He chooses to reveal what will happen in the future.

    Signs From the Bible Have you ever considered that what we are experiencing nowadays is representative of the signs of the Last Days? There is rampant anger expressed everywhere, and people are quickly infuriated. Have you noticed the fiercely destructive forms of lawlessness raising their ugly ...read more

    In our lifetime we are presented with many choices, but what is it that we can choose? Another house? Another pair of shoes? What kind of drink? Another partner? Some time alone? A holiday? To trust or not to trust? To include God in our life?

    '...if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.'"

    Are You Among The Righteous?

    For all of us there's only two spiritual paths to choose from: righteousness (sinless & God's way) or unrighteousness (sinful & Satan's way)? Which path are you following today?

    Lets all please read together Jeremiah 5:1-9 CSB 1 Roam through the streets of Jerusalem. Investigate; search in her squares. If you find one person, any who acts justly, who pursues faithfulness, then I will forgive her. 2 When they say, “As the Lord lives,”they are swearing falsely. 3 Lord, ...read more

    It makes no sense to be part of the same family and be mad when the father chooses to do for one what he hasn’t chosen to do for the other. Yet, this is precisely what happened in the parable Jesus told of two sons, either of whom were prodigal.

    “Jesus said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.” And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and ...read more

    In our scripture today, we see the temptation to choose flight over staying and fighting. One of the greatest tragedies of all, this is when the enemy wins, is when you begin to use faith for personal security and comfort. Our fear of really committing ou

    Trinity Sunday is of highest importance; it causes us to center on the core of our faith. To reject what is presented today is to choose eternal death over life. Far from being irrelevant, today is as practical as drinking water.

    God’s plan promises love, joy, peace, and fruitfulness, but too few people choose correctly. Instead, they subtley surrender to the devil’s plan for their lives and suffer as Adam and Eve did in the garden. Nine points.
