  • Belong (Part 2 Of 4) Series

    Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 1, 2021
     | 3,743 views

    In Christ, we find the place of belonging that we all long for, the place of perfect truth, endless grace, and unconditional love. In the body of Christ, we find the human belonging that we need. It is in the context of belonging that we grow in our faith and are made like Christ.

    Take a moment and think of where you have felt the strongest sense of belonging? Was it because of the location. . . or the people. . . or about the memories. . . or maybe it was the safety. . . or the familiarity? Maybe it is at home in your country, with your people and your culture. Maybe it is ...read more

  • The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit – The Gifts Of Power

    Contributed by Imelda Mesa on Sep 27, 2022
     | 1,350 views

    when we think of power in the context of God, we think of God's nature, character, and abilities to make the impossible possible, to make great things greater and grander. When we think of God's power, we think of the acts of God!

    In a natural sense, when we think of power, we think of explosives; we think of something that can break a hard wall into tiny pieces. When we think of power, we think of natural abilities to create or influence something, either good or bad. But, when we think of power in the context of God, we ...read more

  • What The World Needs Now Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 31, 2021
     | 3,760 views

    What the World Needs Now "is love, sweet, love." But what does that kind of love look like, especially in the context of the great sin? Jesus provides us with a powerful lesson about the kind of love we need to receive and offer to others.

    Most of us here are familiar with that hit song written by Burt Bacharach, “What the World Needs Now.” And of course, as bad as I am with notes, I’m even worse with lyrics, but in this case, I do remember the next few words—“Is love, sweet, love.” And admittedly, the song strikes a chord with ...read more

  • How Prepared Are We, Really?

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Oct 24, 2020
     | 5,251 views

    In the parable of the 10 virgins, the whole point is being ready - truly ready - for coming face to face with Jesus - either when He returns or when we go to Him. This message, which relies heavily on William Barclay for context and content in the first part, explores this theme.

    How Prepared Are We For Jesus? If we look at this parable with western eyes, it may seem an unnatural and a "made-up" story. But it actually telt tells a story that could have happened at any time in a Palestinian village and which could still happen today. A wedding was a great ...read more

    How many times has God given us the right lenses to see what we need to see through His Word? Proverbs 31 is a text that can be eye-opening.

     | 8,773 views

    After praying for a message for 2016, I'm bringing a word to beware of pride as described for the most part in 2 Timothy 3:1 but using supporting texts also.
