    Tonight from this passage of scripture I want us to learn, not how to make our life count from a worldly perspective but from a more important spiritual perspective.

    The life that Counts John 15:7-11 Introduction Native hunters in the jungles of Africa have a clever way of trapping monkeys. They slice a coconut in two, hollow it out, and in one half of the shell cut a hole just big enough for a monkey’s hand to pass through. Then they place an orange in ...read more

Three of the most solemn times where when John Kennedy was assassinated, September 11, 2001, and the Tsunami. 2.

    The Well, The Women, And The Wait Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 18, 2025
     | 687 views

    We all have unsettled issues in our hearts. Some want to put a lot of time and distance between these unresolved issues, even a change of scenery, which may be necessary to get some clarity. I believe God wants us to identify these issues and work through them.

    The Well, the Women, and the Wait Genesis 29:1-30 16 Feb 2025 Last week, Scott spoke from Genesis 28 where Jacob was running from his brother Esau who was planning to kill him because he took the family blessing and inheritance that he was expecting to get.

    Contrary to popular belief, satan is alive and well. He is a real, personal being who, as a created cherub, sinned against God and subsequently fell from heaven.

    If we are going to live a life flowing with forgiveness to everyone with whom we come in contact, we must realize that *The battles we fight are spiritual. *They are not to be directed toward another human being. *They should be directed against the forces of hell. Because our ...read more

    Reproof is a very positive use of speech, provided it's motivated by love and directed by wisdom. Rebuke is not pleasant to our fallen nature but we learn to value it for the results it brings. The best and wisest of us falls short and has much to learn &
