And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.” Look at the words “Bethlehemjudah” and “Moab.” • Bethlehem ...read more

    "Your Grief Will Turn To Joy!”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 22, 2022
     | 3,736 views

    Like the disciples we must wait “a little while” to receive everything Jesus has promised us. And like the disciples there will be a time of grief while we wait. But Jesus promises that our grief will turn to joy.

    “In a little while you can go out and play.” “After a little while we’ll be going to the pool.” “After a little while I am going to be serving pie and ice cream.” “In a little while we’ll your mom and dad will be home.” “In a little while you can take a break.” “The doctor says that after a ...read more

    David & Bathsheba: How To Not Be A Man After God's Own Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 28, 2023
     | 1,753 views

    Normally the King would lead the armies in battle. But instead, King David sends out Joab and he stays behind at the palace.

    The title of this message is “How to not be a man after God’s own heart.” So, if you want to follow God and love God and live for God, just do the opposite of everything in 2nd Samuel chapter 11. There are two incidents that are the most famous in David’s life. The first is of course David’s ...read more

    Let God Do The Finger Pointing

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 7, 2023
     | 2,165 views

    If finger pointing is impolite and it is so often connected to self-centered, sinful behavior why does God do it? God does this so that when sinners see their lost condition he can point them to the cross of his Son. There forgiveness is found. There salvation and eternal life are offered.

    “Finger pointing.” What thoughts do those two words bring to your mind? For the most part they are probably negative thoughts. At a very early age we are taught not to point at people. It’s considered impolite. As we get older we experience finger pointing in many different ways. If we had ...read more

    It may seem like a simple question for believers, and even a tougher question for non-believers. We may know of or heard about Jesus Christ, but have we taken the time to know who He is? Once we know who Jesus Christ is, we can see how He exists.

     | 4,023 views

    In our faith journey, we often face weariness, doubt, and discouragement. We may feel as if our strength is failing, and the challenges before us seem insurmountable. But amid these struggles, Isaiah reminds us that God is always near, ready to renew our strength and empower us to overcome.

    Waiting on God's Strength ? Isaiah 40:27–31 (ESV) ? 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God"? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,213 views

    Where has church leadership failed? How should all pastors (shepherds) behave towards the flock of God? We look at Peter’s requirements for this high position. Remember the words “accountability to the Chief Shepherd”.

    Daniel learned to navigate change in a healthy way that fosters growth and resilience. He remained open, accessible and available to be used again. This maybe the most challenging as we pursue execellence.
