Let It Go Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Nov 15, 2021

Some people get depressed when they see the trees losing their leaves in autumn. Some even say that the trees look sad. Autumn though shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.

Because in fall they “let it go” and in the spring, they “turn over a new leaf.” Fall is a time of transition. There are ...read more

Overcoming The World

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Dec 5, 2021

If you have faith in Christ, you already have every resource to be an overcomer. God doesn’t allow us to surrender to worldly pressure or to hide ourselves away. But He says that in Christ we can conquer and gain the victory. Who is it that will overcome and persevere? Only the one who believes!

What we do today isn’t very exciting. For we’re just a small church in a big world. We’re reading an old book, and we’re talking about an old story. Yet a Christian has been given different eyes, and we look at things in a different way. Beneath the surface, God helps us to see things as they ...read more
