     | 7,882 views

    Abram and Sarai are desperate for an heir. So desperate, in fact, that they are willing to try anything...and, do. As life spins out of control the impact of their poor choices affects more than just their own relationship. But, God shows up as a searching and seeking God.

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed, And Faithful People are Tested. Text: Genesis 16: 1-16 16 Sarai, Abram’s wife, hadn’t yet produced a child. She had an Egyptian maid named Hagar.

    Ready Or Not

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 5, 2023
     | 1,988 views

    To be ready for Jesus, to be ready for God, we have to be in the habit of turning Godward at every crossroads.

    Procrastination. Putting things off. It’s a fault that most of us have had to wrestle with, one time or another. And you know what causes it? Do you know why people procrastinate? I’ve decided that we procrastinate when we don’t want to do what we know we ought to do. And so we wait for something ...read more

    The light of God shone in a small fishing village. Some received it. Let’s look at the place where Christian discipleship began, and how they were ready to drop everything to follow the Light of the world, in Matthew 4:12-23.

    It is good for Christians to judge--the right way. The modern understanding of "do not judge" is merely relativism. If there are no rights or wrongs, naturally one cannot judge. But there are rights and wrongs, and there is a right and wrong way to judg

     | 2,862 views

    The presence of the righteous can be a source of discomfort to those who are bent on unrighteous pursuits since it makes the unrighteous uncomfortable and guilty; a condition that should not be found in a believer who is in the presence of the Lord.

    Mat 2:1-6 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had ...read more

    Calculate The Cost

    When we embrace a relationship with Jesus, we end up calculating the cost of following Him. I use a current political story to show not everything is as we think it is.

    Calculate the Cost Luke 14:25-33 February 3, 2019 I’m going to start out being a little political. Most of you will recall that there was an incident in Washington DC, in which some students from a Catholic school were chastised, and that’s being gentle for how they treated a Native American who ...read more

    We face decisions and make choices daily. Some are simple and insignificant, while others can have lasting implications. Jesus asked a fundamental question that has eternal implications. Whom do men say that I am?

    Who is Jesus? Mark 8: 27-30 As we continue to work our way through Mark’s gospel, again we come to an intimate moment with Jesus and His disciples. They have traveled from Bethsaida to Caesarea Philippi. It is here that Jesus asked a fundamental question – whom do men say that I am? Hearing the ...read more
