God Is Audience Of My Worship - Pt 2

Recognizing the every moment of my worship is directed towards God changes every moment of my worship. When we read from the Pslams it is quite obvious that the object of their ’obsession’ was not themselves!

A Price To Pay

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Jul 11, 2007

When we take the time to read and meditate in the scriptures, it is very obvious that we are all called to gather, but the sad reality is that this alone does not necessarily mean that we are following and serving God.

There are many people in this world that wish to follow Christ, isn’t that true? How many people gathered here today wish to follow Christ? All of us here have the deep desire in our heart to follow our Lord and Savior. In fact, this desire was what motivated us to find a congregation where we ...read more

An Unusual Sacrifice Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 5, 2010

Leviticus is probably the most "boring" book of the Bible (even Jesus doesn’t quote from it), but in it’s pages are some of the powerful stories of forgiveness you’ll read.

(This is the 2nd in a series dedicated to the most boring Scriptures in the Bible. At least… the things many people regard as boring) For some people, there’s nothing more boring than the tedious, almost unending regulations that God gave His people in Leviticus. In fact, when most people attempt ...read more
