A Total Commitment

Contributed by Robert Webb on Oct 30, 2023

The first two verses of Romans 12 are the general commands on how to live out our faith in the world. The rest of chapter 12, along with chapters 13-15 are the details as to how to obey the exhortation given in Romans 12:1-2.

Romans 12 transitions from teaching about what God has done for his people to what God expects from his people. How are the new people of God (the true Israel) supposed to live out their faith in the world? It appears that the first two verses of Romans 12 are the general commands on how to live ...read more

Let’s Go To Bethlehem!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Dec 25, 2023

Although Luke’s account of the shepherds going to see baby Jesus is filled with familiar details, the thread that ties the whole thing together is what the shepherds were told about the child. We hear that connection three times in these verses.

“Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” Those words spoken by the shepherds on the first Christmas Eve are familiar to us. An angel of the Lord had brought them “good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” And the angel told ...read more

How many times in your life have you heard people say that nobody is going to tell them what to do?

I say that is a false assumption, because every human is ...read more

Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021

Why should we be so concerned about proving that the resurrection of Jesus really took place? Sadly, many Christians can tell you the details about the resurrection while never thinking about the way that truth effects their daily lives.

Last Sunday we learned many of the truths about the resurrection. We all saw how the Apostle Paul proved the truth of the resurrection through the testimonies of 100s of people who saw the resurrected Christ first hand. But you might be asking, “Why does of any of it matter? Why should we be so ...read more

There are many eyes watching you. Not only are your family, friends, neighbours and enemies watching you; but spiritual eyes as well. Most times we forget, but know this today; your thoughts are being analysed and your movement is detailed by spiritual eyes.

Good News For Mary Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 2, 2024

For the next several Sundays, we will focus on the Good News of Jesus' birth and how that affected specific people as revealed in the gospels. It would appear that Luke is giving us a first hand report from Mary herself. The details are rather amazing.
