Is It Too Good To Be True

Contributed by David Nolte on Oct 18, 2021

Many of the most attractive offers are just too good to be true.

We are bombarded by advertisements, commercials and infomercials. They come by way of mail, newspapers, text messages, email, radio and television. We’ve all heard some pretty fantastic claims made for everything from capsules for memory enhancement, to weight loss drinks, to antiwrinkle cream. ...read more

Using Money To Direct Our Hearts Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 25, 2022

Jesus tells us not to store up treasure on earth but to store up treasure in heaven. Doing that is certainly a much better investment! But an even bigger reason to do that is that where we put out treasure directs our hearts.

We’re continuing in our series in the Sermon on the Mount and today we’re having the last talk in the series for the time being. Today, I’m going to focus on the first three verses of today’s passage, verses 19-21, and one phrase in particular. In v.19, Jesus says, ‘DON’T store up treasure on ...read more

Hide And Seek

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 4, 2023

If God seems hidden, maybe we’re not looking in the right place. We have to move to a different place, stand at a different angle, look from a different perspective, before we can find God in the answer.

As she ran she kept praying, “Dear God, please don’t let me be late to church. Please don’t let me be late to church...” As she was running she tripped and ...read more

Looking At The Impossible

Contributed by Scott Sutton on Oct 3, 2024

Did you know, the Bible truly is full of amazing, and exciting stories? There're stories of giants, there are stories about spies, stories of huge whales, of ships and of shipwrecks, huge dragon-like beasts, and so many other incredible things we can read in the pages of God's Word.

The story we're going to read from the Bible today has exciting parts in it, there are spies, there are giants in this story. But sadly, in this story we're going to see how something that could have been so incredible for God’s people turned out to be something very tragic because of their ...read more

Bad Decisions #1 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024

Waiting in times of struggle (either because of our own bad choices or God’s timing) is the ultimate action of faith.

What to eat, what to wear, who to respond to first, what to prioritize at work — each of us makes hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions each day. Some of these choices have larger consequences than others. For starters, who we choose to surround ourselves with, where we live, who we worship, ...read more

To The Sent Vessels Of Mercy,dont Lose Your Definition Series

Contributed by Boniface Simiyu on Nov 7, 2024

Gods children today are surrounded with so much politics that they get drawn into defining their mandate on earth wrongly.
