Prepared

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 10, 2022

I am not talking solely about Christ's return today. We should live our lives in such a way that every day people see Jesus in us. And then, when Christ returns, we’ll be unashamed before Him.

I want to start off today by naming a few random items. As I name these items, I want to know what do you think of as I name these things. A flashlight. A battery-operated radio. A cell phone charger. And bottled water. What do you think of? Usually when we gather items like these it is ...read more

Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024

Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

The Message Of The Cross

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 27, 2025
