    This psalm expresses gratitude to God – something we can ALL do more of. What we choose to do with this information is entirely up to each of us. Will we desire to run to Him, or be slaves to ourselves and our own desires?

    To belong is to feel loved and secure. Humanity’s greatest desire is to know and be known, to love and be loved and to feel confident that those who know and love us will be there for us through joy and trouble of life. This desire for connection, God has filled.

    Have You Got Milk?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 2, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,398 views

    The words of the Bible are likened to milk, and they are as essential to our spiritual growth as milk is to the growth of the human body. If you desire physical life then drink cow’s milk. If you desire spiritual life then drink the milk of God’s Word.

    I am sure the majority of you have watched the television commercials advertising milk with the catchy little slogan that says, “Got milk?” Maybe you recall the commercials of years gone by that said, “Milk, it does the body good.” What you can pick up from these slogans is that milk is good for ...read more

    Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,506 views

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more
