    What did Jesus mean when He told Nicodemus "You must be born again"? And what does His comment about being "born of the water and the Spirit" mean to us today?

He saw a little boy was standing by the side of a road and a and pulled up beside him. “Sonny,” he said, “do you know how to get to town?” The kid said, “No sir, I don’t.” Then the man said, “Well do you know the way to route 20?” The little boy said, “No.” And the ...read more

    When Two Remain Two: Marriage To An Unbeliever Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 1,520 views

    As long as the divorce is sought by, and initiated by, the unbeliever, the Christian spouse is not enslaved to Jesus’ command not to divorce. Yet, the believer will plead with the unconverted spouse to change their mind on wanting a divorce.

    Marriage is the story of our lives. It is the story of grandpa’s love for grandma for these past fifty years. It’s the backdrop of the world our children are born. It is the fabric of so many of our families where dad and mom set up a home. Their love is constant. Their love is normalcy. Romantic ...read more

    Just Like Us (Part Six) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 25, 2019
     | 3,639 views

    Last week we looked at Joshua and David. Joshua defeated Jericho but when he lost a battle to Ai his response was extreme. David was a man after God's own heart yet he committed adultery and had her husband killed. Today we'll look at Peter and see how he was just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part six) Joshua was the successor to Moses. No one in the entire nation of Israel believed they could conquer Canaan except him and Caleb. When he was leading them into battle against Jericho, God told him to march around the city seven times and blow the trumpets and the wall would ...read more

    This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

    I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more
