    He is promised to us as the Father of Eternity. However you want to term it, the Christ is the originator and cause of our eternal life in Heaven with God. He made the way for us to join eternity. He will be with us for eternity. That is a tremendous promise and worthy of praise.

    God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021
     | 13,314 views

    No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

    Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more

    The story of Anna in Luke's gospel show us what to do with Jesus after Christmas.

    Don’t Box Up Jesus Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Luke 2. And let me be the first to wish you a very Happy Boxing Day! That’s right.

    Sing In Exultation Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021

    In this sermon, I am linking Psalm 95 with John F. Wade’s hymn, “O Come, All Ye Faithful" as we are called to come into the very Presence of our Lord and King and Savior triumphantly, singing His praises and making a joyful noise.

    This morning, my brothers and sisters, you have been personally invited into the very presence of God. “O come, all ye faithful (stanza 1) … “come into His presence” (Psalm 95:2). What a singular, unspeakable honor, amen? We have been invited to come into the presence of the “King above all ...read more

    It is grace—God’s greatest gift to man—that brought salvation to us. So how does free will factor in salvation if God is doing it all?

    Was Judas predestined to betray Jesus? When Jesus was praying with his apostles shortly before his Passion, he said, “I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled” (John 17:12). If he was destined to betray Jesus, then did ...read more

    This message stresses the importance of worship that flows from appreciation love. Praise can flow from the lips of those who gather for worship, regardless of their circumstances.

    In one electrifying moment a hush would fall over the congregants. It was the moment for which they had prepared themselves. The priest would meet them at the entrance to the temple, motion for the people to stand and call them to worship. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the ...read more

    Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

     | 5,926 views

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

    The Lord Shows His Excellence In All The Earth

     | 2,027 views

    God’s excellence shines so clearly in all his works. The Lord could have crushed those who bore his image when we sinned, yet God was mindful of us. The glorious God who first stooped down to create us, then stooped down to save us through his only Son.

    As we lead busy lives each week, we need to slow down. In the middle of the activity of work and school and home life and church life, we need to pause and ponder. For how often do we really think about who God is, who we are, and what to do with the few days on earth that God has given? It’s easy ...read more

    the witness of John the Baptist is a dynamic example for every servant of God. 1. John was questioned by religionists who were suspicious of Him: they asked, “Who are you?” (v.19). 2. He was a man who knew who he was (vv.20–22). 3. He was only a voice—only a forerunner for the Lord (v.23–24).

    Learning To Trust In A Skeptical World

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Oct 12, 2021
     | 3,744 views

    I believe one of the greatest issues facing our world today, to include the church, is the fact that trust has all but disappeared in relationships. I believe the book of Micah shows us the tragedy of a society where trust is absent; however, the book also shows us how to regain that which is lost.

    In recent weeks I have been pondering a very important question: "What is the common denominator for understanding healthy relationships? We could postulate many words (e.g., friendship, tolerance, respect, appreciation, etc.). I then contemplated, what happens if trust is absent in a ...read more
