    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 22, 2025
     | 49 views

    It is sad when people lose hope and just wait for their end. We look at the great sadness of the survivors in Judah after the Babylonian destruction. We examine repentance, and the seriousness of sin. What can we do for despairing people? Let us not turn away from honesty in this.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 36 – HOPELESS PEOPLE IN A DESPERATE SITUATION. GREAT SADNESS IN THE WORLD - CHAPTER 4:17-19 The next 4 verses move back to the details of the suffering of the survivors and we take this verse by verse - PART [17].

    Living as Christ's followers in a world starving for love and compassion.

    “The Compassion of Christ” Matthew 9:35-38 A while ago, I was reading a story from a mainstream news outlet about a young couple who moved to Los Angeles, California looking for fame and fortune but quickly found themselves homeless and destitute. It was a moving story. In any event, when ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 18, 2025
     | 252 views

    What are the books that will be opened at the great white throne, and what is the Book of Life? We continue our examination of this terrifying event that is nor for Christians, but for the unsaved. We look at who might be at this throne judgement.

    THE GREAT WHITE THRONE OF JUDGEMENT - WHAT IS IT? – PART 2 of 4 The unsaved and the wicked will all make an appearance before the great white throne where the books are opened and their lives are judged there. Sadly no one present at that judgement will escape the lake of fire. This message will ...read more

    How Did The Affliction Of Naomi Cause Ruth To Become Active?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 5, 2023

    The book of Ruth shows how God used three people to achieve his purpose. It also tells the story of how God’s grace was given during a challenging time.

    THE AFFLICTION OF NAOMI Ruth 1:1-22, (16) The book of Ruth shows how God used three people to achieve his purpose. These three people had character and were true to God.

    Just as the church at Ephesus had its opportunity to respond to the Lord's call, so do we. We too are called to be a shining light for Christ and share the love of God with others. Let us consider the lessons we learn from the church at Ephesus and seek to renew our love for Christ.

    Visionary View: Respond to Christ’s Call to love Today, as God's church, we draw nearer each day to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some of you may search for signs of His imminent return and find many Biblical prophecies fulfilled already. Yet, remember Jesus' own words in Mark ...read more

    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

    "To be poor in spirit" refers to one feeling spiritually broken due to life's challenges and difficulties. They have a genuine heart for God. This study will explore the characteristics of a person broken before God, which the Bible calls the "poor in spirit."

    Ruth And Naomi Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 24, 2023

    Ruth became the great grandmother of King David. She was in the family genealogy of Mary and Jesus. She experienced personal redemption and was part of the greatest redemption story of all history.

    You can’t make this story up. The story of Ruth is way too far-fetched to be manmade. The likely author of the book of Ruth is Samuel, who was a contemporary with Ruth as both lived in the days when judges ruled. There is just no way Samuel would come up with the idea on his own to include Ruth ...read more

    Salvation is a gift from God through His grace, not earned by our works, and we must humbly accept this gift to experience eternal life.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we'll be diving into a truth found in the book of Ephesians. Before we read the passage, I'd like to share a quote from Charles Spurgeon, "You stand before God as if you were Christ because Christ stood before God as if He were you."

    In this study, we will learn of the dream of Naomi for a home where Ruth will be properly provided for. In the same manner, we dream of a home where Christ is our Kinsman Redeemer shielding our home from the enemy attacks.

    Today, we are going to study chapter three of the Book of Ruth. So, far, we have learned that Elimelech and his wife Naomi relocated their family from Judah to Moab. They had two sons, Mahlon and Kilion who married Moabite women named Orpha and Ruth. But at the course of time, Elimelech died and ...read more
