    Ruth was unwilling to change her mind, change her devotion or to change her direction. She chose to keep going in the face of adversity, despite the unknown consequences of following God and she did not turn back, nor did she give up.

    Ruth 4:13-17 NKJV “Choices” May 28, 2023 Many see this little history book, which was written during the time of the judges, as nothing more than a love story. It is a love story but not of Boaz and Ruth; it is a love story of the Creator and His Creation. It is a story of a lost sinner who, ...read more

    Only two Christian groups do not practice some form of water baptism: Quakers and the Salvation Army. All others practice water baptism but disagree on the mode (immersion/sprinkling) and the purpose (to be saved/because one has been saved).

    Encouragement In The Desert Series

     | 4,261 views

    In spiritual deserts, we wonder if God is with us or if He is simply a mirage. Yet Scripture shows us that no matter where God’s people find themselves—in battle or prison, in valley or wilderness—one thing is true: God is faithful.

    Sermon: Encouragement In the Desert Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-10 (21st Century King James Version) ”The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing.

    In Christ we see the entire scope of the punishment of sin and avenue of rescue, and because of Jesus, Paul preaches to those in the synagogue to hear the truth. What we must see in this is this our purpose as well!

    Have you ever wondered, if you take away the music and the money power from today’s churches what will remain? How many people will still be attending the assemblies? God’s work does not suffer because of the lack of money as some money loving preachers say.

    Our Lord said, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24). When God and mammon become rivals, one or other will inevitably be rejected. In spiritual ...read more

    Walk In Love

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 25, 2025
     | 514 views

    Likely, in our spiritual lives, there has been at least one person who has impacted your life, creating a desire to develop the kind of walk with the Lord that closely resembled theirs. While each of these have their place, none can compare to the influence of our heavenly Father.

    Walk in Love Ephesians 5: 1-2 Take a moment to consider those who have greatly impacted your life. Surely, we have all had a family member, friend, or mentor that we looked-up to, someone whose influence created a desire for us to become like them. For me, it was my grand-father.

    Are You On Empty?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 320 views

    Faith begins where human supply ends as God fills our emptiness with overflowing grace that turns survival into a testimony of life.

    Faith doesn’t always start with a shout. Sometimes it starts with an empty jar and a tired soul who whispers, “God, I don’t have much left.” That whisper was enough for one widow long ago—and it might be enough for you. There are moments when life drains us. You wake up one day and realize that ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 79 views

    Today we begin the fifth Kingdom Parable, the Treasure Hidden in the Field. It is most interesting and we depart from the usual, accepted meaning of this parable. It really has a very lovely meaning, which we explore over four messages.

    17. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 1 of 4 This message is in 4 parts and it is awkward to break it up as it is one whole. I hope it flows well for the reader. [A]. INTRODUCTION TO THE PARABLE So far we have done four of the seven Parables of the Kingdom. They ...read more

    The Wisest Investments

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 6, 2026
     | 55 views

    No one would want to come to the end of their life knowing that they had wasted their time and energy and that their live were not fruitful. Jesus confronts us to rethink our priorities and not waste our opportunities to invest in that which really matters.

    Last week, we talked about what we wrap our hopes around. This week, we turn our attention to another foundational question: What are the wisest investments we can make for the future? Not just financial—but spiritual, relational, and eternal investments. Let’s read Matthew 6:19–24 19 “Do not ...read more
