Moses And His Mentor Jethro

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 11, 2023

The message looks at a brief incident of mentoring in the life of Moses. And without this mentoring that took place, Moses’ life could have been quite different. Let's see if we can learn some things about mentoring from God's word.

For the next few Sundays I want to dip into the Old Testament teachings. There are individuals in the Old Testament that we can learn a lot of things about and from. One of those things is mentoring others. Currently we have several individuals in our church who have volunteered to be mentors to ...read more

A Faith Worth Fighting For - Part One Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Apr 26, 2023

The short and often neglected letter of Jude is a challenge to believers to stand strong in the faith in the face of false teaching. A valuable lesson to Christians in all ages.

It doesn’t rank up there on the list of most popular books in the Bible. Not many quotes from Jude are on your refrigerator or being cross stitched for ...read more

This Way Out

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 28, 2023
