     | 2,712 views

    What is Jesus’s teaching about “repent or perish” telling us? Is it not the same as saying choose life or choose death? Today we will talk about tragedy and repentance.

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 22, 2022
     | 2,193 views

    Some believe that the Old Testament Book of Psalms is the most helpful book in the Bible.

    Why? Because the Psalms are loaded with information to help us live the Christian life. One of the things we all need help with is how to deal with the differences we have with each other. We all have many differences. Illus: Mayor Giuliani, of New York city, was honored for his leadership ...read more

    Jesus came to make salvation accessible to all. He came to remove any barriers. Here He was breaking down the barrier of sin between man and God. The water the woman had come to draw from the well could only be obtained through hard labor. There was no button to push on the fountain.

    “Going Public with Our Faith” John 4:1-26 Last week we welcomed we welcomed in the New Year by talking about what it means to go public with our faith. In the Scripture today we find that Jesus having gone very public with Hi ministry, was now traveling. He had to go through Samaria. While ...read more

    Stand Firm Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,790 views

    The world lives by the concept of "go along to get along" but God says "no - stand firm and stand for Me!" Why is that important to God and how do we "stand firm?"

    OPEN: The story is told of a man who was on his way to a costume ball on a Sunday evening. He’d rented a fairly realistic Satan Costume. It was a red suit with a tail and a skintight mask with horns. It was a quality outfit, and … he kind of looked like Satan. In order to get to the party, he had ...read more

    Simple Steps For An Extraordinary New Year

    Psalm 22 begins as a lament - a desperate plea to God from someone who knows how much he needs God. The terms are clear - without God there is no hope. With God there is always hope, and David gives us a map here, finding hope when challenges are all around us

    Joy is so much different than happiness. All joy truly comes from God. Chris's birth returned the joy of we lost when we left the Garden. We have re-joyed or in better terms, rejoiced!

    A new joy – restore joy During road trips we made up word games to pass the miles as the travel droned. One our favorite games was the prefix game. We pick a prefix and each of us took a turn, and it had to be a real-word, until somebody couldn’t think of one, and they were out. Think of ...read more
