     | 7,862 views

    Grief, suffering and loss are a part of the human experience. Although we don't grieve like those who have no hope, we do grieve. God gives us the biblical song of lament to help us express ourselves to God and receive His help.

    If we have been tempted to give up, to run away from our problems, then this is the psalm for us. Most of us have been where David was in this psalm—hard pressed by circumstances that are partly our own making but which have gotten beyond our control.

    One of major problems most people face today are blocked entrances or exits. You see, we’re caught in tombs with stones covering them, and these stones keep us from entering the light of an abundant life Jesus came to give, which is what the resurrection of Jesus is all about.

    Rolling Stones Mark 16:1-8 Now, I knew the danger of naming today’s study, “Rolling Stones,” because many of you immediately thought of the English rock band by the same name with Mick Jagger and the crew. Or maybe you also thought about the monthly magazine from the 60’s whose focus was ...read more

    How To Handle Temptation Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 29, 2021
     | 6,635 views

    James moves from how to handle trials to how to handle temptations. Even though temptation is inevitable and giving into temptation is inexcusable, we can learn that temptation is predictable and conquerable.

    Introduction: A. Once there was a little boy who always went next door to play alone in the neighbor’s yard even though his mom had warned him against doing so. 1. This frustrated and worried his mom so she asked him why he was so disobedient. 2. He replied that Satan tempted him so much and he ...read more

     | 1,359 views

    The Greek word that is used in John 1:14, John 14:6 and John 8:32 is Aletheia which means what is true objectively under any consideration and pertains to who we are and how we are called to operate as Christians because the truth is our “true North”----our compass.

    WHY WOULD THEY DIE FOR A LIE Text: Matthew 28: 1 - 4, 11- 15 Matthew 28:1 - 4  After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.  (2)  And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending ...read more

Koplitz John 1:19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 They asked him, “What ...read more

    New research findings in Science and Medicine now support the Bible's statement that we have a soul, not just a body. People must know this so they can make correct decisions about where they will spend eternity.

    He keeps his promises, He answers prayers, he solves problems. But in our experience, there have been times when we weren’t sure about these things. Have you ever wondered, when things go wrong in life, if you can count on God?
