The Life No One Expected Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024

Moses wanted to pass on this lesson from the garden to God’s people so they would learn from it, live by it, and thrive.

Cain And Abel Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024

Even though Abel’s life was short, his faith still speaks. Abel’s blood calls out for justice from God. Our own sin demands justice from God, and it was our sin that put Jesus on the cross. Yet the blood of Jesus speaks a better message. A message of mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and salvation.

As we continue in our Dust to Life series, we will be looking at Genesis chapter 4 today, the account of the first two brothers in human history: Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:1-16 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 20, 2024

The world sometimes calls Christians “losers” and “suckers” for believing what we do; and for what we are. BUT THERE IS A RESURRECTION, so that the real losers are those who mock Christians and will lose everything. We look at the time after Calvary up to the Resurrection and what it all means.

Choose God Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 9, 2024

Who you FOLLOW, and who LISTEN TO, will determine where you go… and where you end up. Psalm 1 is telling us to listen to God and trust Him... because the alternative is listening to the wicked, sinful and scoffers of this world.

And before they go it, God tells Moses to send 12 spies into the promised land. So they select 12 men to slip into Canaan, ...read more

Ang paksa ay kinuha mula mismo sa panalanging itinuro ng Panginoong Hesus sa Mateo 6:12, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” Minsan iniisip ng ilan na sapat na ang minsang paghingi ng kapatawaran noong tayo ay naligtas — ngunit hindi iyon ang itinuturo ng Biblia.

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 8, 2025
