A Journey Of Faith

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Dec 20, 2020

They were wise men from the east, nothing else is said about their origin here. Contrary to popular Christmas tradition, the Bible does not use the terms three wise men or three kings to describe the travelers who went to see Jesus after his birth.

A Journey of Faith By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Today as we are approaching and will be celebrating Christmas on this week I felt God taking me in a different direction. I am not going to deal with the traditional Christmas message. Tradition has a major effect on how we perceive ...read more

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 28, 2020

What if the wrong people end up in charge, in control of our government, your work, your school or whatever organization you are involved with? How will you respond?

We’re in an election year again. In the midst of the Pandemic, the Democratic National Convention occurred virtually this week and dominated all the major TV networks.

Does It Taste Like More? John 12, Part 2

Contributed by Jay Yousling on Dec 29, 2020

Well, there is something that God wants for us. He wants us to BEHOLD, Behold Your King! Have you had enough of Jesus? Does it taste like more? Or, do you want a decaf version of the Savior?

The Handwriting On The Wall Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021

Belshazzar arrogantly tested the Lord by converting the use of the most holy vessels from God's temple into vessels for the most unholy of purposes--worshiping idols and drunken immorality. He thus discovered a recipe for spiritual disaster. Learn from him how to avoid spiritual disaster!

This morning, we have the privilege of consider the actual historical and Scriptural event that resulted in our proverbial saying, “And I saw the handwriting on the wall.” Obviously, the biblical story has made such an impression on people of our culture that 2600 hundred years later we still use ...read more

How To Be A Spiritual Lion Tamer Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021

What qualified David to be used so mightily by God that two pagan kings were converted to fear His God. The story of Daniel and the Lion's Den supplies us with many encouraging spiritual lessons about how to be the kind of man whom God fully supports!

One of my favorite verses is II Chronicles 16:9a: “For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” It’s a verse that gives hope to any one and every one of us who would like to be used of the Lord that great ...read more

Contributed by James Dina on Sep 24, 2020

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. Cease from anger because it rests in the bosom of fools.

Greatly Appreciated

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 27, 2020

With social distancing, we've appreciated things like Face Time and Zoom. When businesses started opening up people appreciated them more than ever. But we shouldn't need separation in order to show appreciation.

GREATLY APPRECIATED To appreciate means to value something or somebody highly. On Wednesday night I asked, 'what have you come to appreciate more since COVID started'. Based on some of the answers it was clear that people are most appreciative of people and the things that helped them to ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 29, 2020

The Bible tells us that there will be a time when some will "depart" from the "faith"

Whenever there is a cataclysmic event, like a global pandemic, fires, floods, earthquakes, etc., etc., etc., the cry goes out that it may be the end of days and you need to get your act together so you don't miss the 'Rapture,' or take the mark of the Beast (Revelation 16:2; 19:20), ...read more

Reflections

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 25, 2020

We can have a tendency to focus a lot on our image. Whether it's how we look, how we come across or how we're perceived. And to some degree we should it seriously but we can focus too much on our physical image and not enough on our spiritual image.

REFLECTIONS We can have a tendency to focus a lot on our image. Whether it's how we look, how we come across or how we're perceived by others, our image is something we take seriously. And in part, that's a good thing. We should be concerned with how we come across and that people ...read more
