Because I Love Him

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

Love is a word that we begin to use at an early age.

But what is amazing about love, is this: • A young boy at a certain age despises young girls • He frowns like he swallowed a dose of castor oil when the teacher makes him sit next to a girl • But at a certain age, something very mysterious begins to happen to him. That same boy that despised ...read more

Making A Difference 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 28, 2022

The Bush Still Burns

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 17, 2022

Moses was tending sheep and saw a bush burning that was not consumed by the fire.

Have we fallen asleep spiritually? God is calling us to wake up, so what are we to do?

A New Home: Luke 8:26-39

Contributed by Christopher Metze on Sep 16, 2025

God calls us not to flee the people and places that have seen our worst, but to return and bear witness to His transforming power—so that those who once knew our “demons” can see the change for themselves and, through our testimony, become part of a community renewed by God.

Jesus and the disciples are rowing their boat toward the shore—toward a region called the Gerasenes. It’s Gentile territory—so it’s a place they’ve likely never been before and one they may already feel uneasy about. To the Jews, Gentile lands were unclean and unholy—filled with pagan practices ...read more
