     | 27,422 views

    The principle and practice of God's people gathering together in the presence of the Lord in a house dedicated to Him for the purpose of corporate praise and worship is clearly taught throughout the Bible by command, precept and example.

    WHY WE GATHER TOGETHER Psalm 84:10 "For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."

     | 107,779 views

    Christians have been taught that the tithe is a "spiritual bill" they must pay in order to keep the "windows of heaven" open. Is it possible that this passage is being used to teach something that it does not teach?

    As a child, before my brothers and sisters and I would sit down for breakfast, we asked our father what we could do to please him so that he would let us eat. He’d tell us. If we wanted lunch money for school we would ask our father what would please him. He’d tell us. At supper time, as we sat ...read more

    Hot Or Not? #5 Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 22, 2020
     | 4,284 views

    God wants us to allow Him to consume us — God wants our all. We need to be on fire for Him. But as it turns out, many times we are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, for Him. Being lukewarm will keep us from a relationship with God and keep us from inheriting eternal life with God.

    Introduction It’s summer. When that sun is blazing, it’s hot. That’s one reason we added meeting here in the pavilion as an additional way for worship. To get out of the heat. It’s hot. At times it’s sizzling hot. So hot that you can fry an egg on the asphalt, as my Grandpa would always ...read more

     | 7,509 views

    Affliction is always pure gold in the making for the child of God. This is a truth that is repeated throughout pages of Scripture. Even though it looks like nothing is happening, like nothing will ever change, circumstances are being aligned so that God's plan is working.

    Joseph out of the prison Gen. 41: 1-56 When we last left Joseph, he was serving out a sentence for a crime he didn't commit in a place where the sun never shines - the dungeon for the king's prisoners.

     | 6,631 views

    Jesus and His disciples faced an absolutely impossible situation--10,000 people to feed in a deserted place, little food and too little money. How should we respond when we face the same kind of situation?

    “Life is difficult.” So says the first three words of a best-selling book by Dr. M. Scott Peck, an author and Psychiatrist, who wrote “The Road Less Traveled.” And He goes on to say that the key to dealing with the difficulty of life is just simply realizing and accepting the fact that life is ...read more
