    We do fall or get knocked down at times, don't we? And how wonderful it is when we have a friend who cares enough to lift us up, dust us off, & help us continue on.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) A. Sometimes when people are leaving after a church service they say, "Boy, I wish so & so had been here to hear that message." But I don't want you to do that this morning. I want you to take it ...read more

    You don't have to be a theological scholar to figure out what God expects of those who follow Jesus. He made it really clear. Take care of those who are in need in Jesus Name because you love God and you love people.

    What followers of Jesus call the providence of God the world calls coincidence. I have so many stories about how God's providence showed up in our life just when we needed it to. I'm sure you have some, too. Kristi and I marvel at how God has provided for us in various ways through the years; an ...read more

    If you’re looking for the face of God in your life, look for it in the face of forgiveness on your brother; look for it in the face of favor on your sister; and look for it in the face of fellowship with your brothers in sisters in Christ.

    Some time ago, a small east coast community was struggling financially, so they called an open town meeting to discuss the problem.

    If we start asking ourselves who deserves to be forgiven, we soon find out that the answer is no one. No matter how hard we work, we can’t be “good enough.” The good news of the Gospel is that what can’t be obtained by good works,

    If only one word could be used to describe you or your church, what would it be? As believers, many Christian attributes come to mind, but love would rank at the top. The world needs to see a church defined by love.

    Defined and Delivered in Love 1 John 4: 7-10 Our text this evening again deals with the continuing theme of love John has presented throughout this epistle. In fact, the remaining verses of this chapter deal with love. John was originally known as one of the “sons of thunder,” but ...read more
