    True contentment comes not from circumstances or possessions, but from trusting in God’s constant presence and faithfulness in every moment of our lives.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like a beehive—busy with bills, budgets, and bank balances. We feel it in our shoulders, see it in our calendars, hear it in the sighs we release in traffic and the whispers we mutter at the mailbox. We carry comparison like a backpack of bricks.

Hebrews 11 is a sort of survey of Old Testament faith leaders. The names that receive the most attention are Abraham and Moses. The central ...read more

    Do we really want to sustain our life -- filled with contentment and joy -- not just for forty, or eighty, or longer years, but even for for eternity?

     | 40,866 views

    At times we have to strip ourselves of the stiff and wooden qualities and disrobe ourselves of the contentment and complacency that strangles our devotion to holiness and boldness.

    Romans 1:13-17 There’s no doubt about Paul - he was sold out for Christ! He could not have accomplished such a life of faith without this trait! A verse that stands out regarding being sold out for God is... Matthew 6:33 “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...” The word “seek” ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 8, 2024
     | 915 views

    Some churches run so many activities that some servants are just worn out. We need more exits and “coming aside to rest” for contentment. Remember activities in the Lord’s name could be a barrier that stops us knowing Jesus better! We look at hope in Israel.

The text for tonight’s proclamation is taken from the Epistle, Hebrews 11:4; By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did.
