    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 17, 2022

     | 4,076 views

    Why do Christians suffer? For us to be a tried & tested people; to help us be sympathetic to others; to show the lost how Jesus makes a difference. God lets us suffer, then receive comfort, so that we can give His comfort to others.

    Walk In Love

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 25, 2025
     | 429 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. My childhood was ...read more

    Find Your Towel

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 29 views

    Jesus gives authority to serve, not rule—power shaped like a towel, lifting others, revealing love’s quiet strength, and mirroring His heart.

    1. The Ladder and the Towel My senior pastor once stood with me in the church fellowship hall staring at a row of framed photographs—portraits of evangelists who had conducted meetings through the years. His finger paused on one. “H. M. S. Richards, Sr.,” he said softly. Then came a line I’ll ...read more

    There is a real story of Christmas. To the Bible characters who played an important role on that first Christmas day, it was not necessarily all peace and joy and love. If we were to analyze carefully their situations, we will agree that theirs was a sad

     | 1,434 views

    Song of Solomon is about a man and a woman, their love, courtship, and marriage. It is an allegory of God's love for Israel and/or the church. Here we look at the "I am" of 2:1-2.

    This is a story that tells another story. The bridegroom (Christ) comparing Himself to a common flower in Israel. Why? The Lord compares Himself to other objects: The Bread of Life John 6:35, And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that ...read more
