     | 6,421 views

    Last week we looked at the story of Joseph. He bounced back from multiple situations: sold into slavery, a false accusation, betrayal, etc. But he wasn't the only one who bounced back from multiple hardships; Paul did too.

People have bounced back from having COVID. Churches have bounced back from having to shut down ...read more

     | 2,244 views

    Some people have turned ministry into a cash cow. Some people have just fleeced the sheep. Some people have completely overcompensated themselves, and they have found a great way to work the system.

    I’m excited about finishing 1 Corinthians with you. God willing, we’ll discuss divorce, singleness, the resurrection, idolatry, spiritual gifts, tongues, love, and money in the weeks to come as we move line by line, sentence by sentence through this New Testament letter.

    Jesus’ identity is shown as we research Jesus’ family tree. And Jesus’ identity is shown as we see Him fend off Satan’s attacks - the very attacks that were driven to distort Jesus’ special identity.

    Everything Falls Apart Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,773 views

    The story of what happened in the Garden of Eden is important – powerfully important. And I want to make you aware at the outset, that this is not just the story of the wrongdoings of two people. No, it’s the story of how the first two people’s wrongdoing affects you and me.

    We’re doing a series on God’s Big Story where we are tracing the central storyline of the Bible. The Bible isn’t a mass of unconnected stories. Instead, it is one story. And that is exactly the aim of this series – to see the big picture of the Bible. I want you to see the Bible is a single story. ...read more

     | 4,487 views

    While Mary has enjoyed high status throughout the centuries, she was the subject of gossip in her day. Mary’s scandal is this: she was an unwed pregnant teenager and all the tongues were wagging were in her small, conservative town of Nazareth.

    Just a few more days to Christmas… are you ready? We conclude a short Christmas series designed to make room in your heart to worship Jesus, entitled The Mothers of Jesus.

     | 3,350 views

    Every single person and every single race are “heirs together,” “members together,” and we are “sharers together.” We are together, together, together! The Bible says this is a secret that is now being shared.

    Avengers Endgame Movie The biggest opening weekend box office hit was Avengers: Endgame. The movie grossed over $350 million on April 26, 2019.

     | 4,379 views

    “Do not be anxious” about what you will eat and drink. “Do not be anxious” about what you will wear. “Do not be anxious” about tomorrow

    It’s so appropriate that all our money has the motto, “In God We Trust.” To understand why it’s there, you have to go all the way back to the Civil War when a Pennsylvania pastor requested the Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, place a Christian motto on our currency. Because of this ...read more

    Because of Easter we have a new foundation for our lives. That foundation is built by hearing the truth, living the truth and resting in the truth.

    EASTER – A NEW FOUNDATION In May of 1981, a woman named Mae Rose in Winter Park Florida heard her dog barking outside. She thought that maybe it was barking at a squirrel.

    Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
     | 5,603 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

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 12, 2021
     | 1,907 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

    This passage is heavy in election, predestination, and foreknowledge. How does someone who is not a Calvinist interpret it?
