    do we pray like a Pharisee to impress God or like the tax collector to be impressed by God

    God, I thank you that I am not like those conservative Episcopalians who walked away refusing to acknowledge gospel hospitality, love, and inclusiveness.

    Your Word Is A Lamp To My Feet Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 1, 2022
     | 3,726 views

    If there are parts of the Bible you follow and parts of the Bible you don’t, I want to ask you a question: what source of truth is greater than the Bible? Where do you turn for real truth, true truth? Where do you go for wisdom?

    The Bible is so available; it’s as close as reaching out our hand. The Bible is on our phones and our nightstands in hotels all across our nation. The Bible is handed down from generation to generation. Around eighty million Bibles are printed every year and it is thought that there are between ...read more

    Military strategists would have laughed out loud if they had heard God's strategy for defeating the enemies of Israel during Gideon's day. Gideon,though, followed these instructions to the letter and God gave Israel a great victory!

    Introduction: Some of the military’s greatest strategists mentioned never going into action against the enemy unless you have two or three times more of everything than they do. Gideon had blown the trumpet, basically the same thing as declaring war against Israel’s enemies, and many of the local ...read more

    The Reckoning Of God

     | 2,405 views

    God's Word is absolute. The Word of God is final. And His Word is binding, and it is truth! There is a reckoning at hand. It's the reckoning of God. And it is a reckoning of the sinful ways of this world and how we have literally pushed God out of our lives and our countries.

    God's Word is absolute. The Word of God is final. And His Word is binding, and it is truth! Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the Lord, I change not;" Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." John 14:9, "...he that hath seen me hath ...read more

    "Your Grief Will Turn To Joy!”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 22, 2022
     | 3,741 views

    Like the disciples we must wait “a little while” to receive everything Jesus has promised us. And like the disciples there will be a time of grief while we wait. But Jesus promises that our grief will turn to joy.

    “In a little while you can go out and play.” “After a little while we’ll be going to the pool.” “After a little while I am going to be serving pie and ice cream.” “In a little while we’ll your mom and dad will be home.” “In a little while you can take a break.” “The doctor says that after a ...read more

     | 4,911 views

    Jesus attributes Peter’s coming defection to the direct activity of Satan. Satan comes as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, from the highest leader to the least among us. Why such debilitating attacks?

    LUKE 22: 31-38 SATAN’S DEMAND [JESUS’ LAST NIGHT SERIES] [Job 1:6-12 / 1 Peter 4: 12-19 / Romans 8:18-25] Once again we are looking at Jesus’ last night before His crucifixion. Here Jesus tells how Satan had sought to have the disciples in order to sift them (Job 1–2; Dan. 10:13) and lead them ...read more

    How do you get along with difficult people? It can be really hard sometimes. Even in church you can experience times when you don't see eye to eye with others.

    The Gloomiest Chapter In The Bible – Psalm 88 – Passing Through Stormy Seas – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 4, 2022
     | 1,634 views

    Psalm 88 is considered to be the gloomiest chapter in all the bible. There is not one glimmer of hope yet we can draw from it wonderful teaching. The psalmist was in a very dark state when this Psalm was penned. His pleading with God seemed to be unanswered. Resurrection is considered.

    SERIES - PSALMS OF THE SONS OF KORAH – PSALM 88 - PART 2 THE GLOOMIEST CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE – PSALM 88 – PASSING THROUGH STORMY SEAS – PART 2 It is considered that Psalm 88 is the gloomiest chapter in the whole bible.

    Only the gospel can make sense of the human heart, only Jesus can meet humanity’s deepest needs, only life in Jesus can provide unrivaled hope and joy.

    Last week, we spoke about how Jesus appeared to His disciples after the resurrection, when they were gathered behind locked doors. In the midst of their fear and anxiety, Jesus told the disciples not to be afraid, revealing himself to them and assuring them that He is alive and well. However, not ...read more

    We are imprisoned by sin in exactly the same way that we are imprisoned by gravity. We are prisoners of our own humanity, and it’s a life sentence with no time off for good behavior.

    When I was 12, I went on vacation with my family to a place called Iguazu Falls. Not many people in this country have ever heard of it. It’s only the second biggest waterfall in the world, after Niagara. It’s only the second highest waterfall in the world, after Victoria Falls. It’s at the top NE ...read more

    Unhindered Forgiveness

    Contributed by Kory Labbe on May 6, 2023
     | 1,978 views

    Forgiveness is one of the basic principles of the faith and yeah it is a discipline that is one of the hardest for us to master. Too often forgiveness has been misunderstood and therefore out of grasp of us. Unhindered forgiveness is the first step to radical healing in our lives.

    Life is not easy. This is one thing that you talk to anybody, and everyone will agree that there are hard things that happen in this life. Right before Jesus was arrested in John 16, Jesus is trying to prepare his disciples for what is about to come. Verse 32: 32 But the time is coming—indeed ...read more
