    The apostle Paul compares a husbands love for his wife to Christ's love for the church. How should men love their wives? He must have a sacrifical love, sanctifying love, and sensitive love for his bride.

    Valentine’s Day 2016 Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 2/14/16 Happy Valentine’s Day! Or, for those of you who don’t have a date, happy Singles Awareness Day. When Ashley and I first got married, I used to make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day, but things change a little when ...read more

    Christmas Is About Accepting Things We Don't Like

     | 3,701 views

    God is calling us to accept people and situations we don't like because God is doing something in our lives that is far bigger than any of us. Mary and Joseph had to accept each other to keep the Christmas story going.

    Christmas It’s About Accepting Things We Don’t Like 12/20/ 2020 Matthew 1:18-25 Colossians 3:12-17 2020 has been quite a year for us.

    In this sermon, I use the classic Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street to illustrate some important spiritual truths about the real identity of Jesus and how the story of Jesus is fact and not fiction.

    Introduction: A. Every year, I look forward to our special worship service on the Sunday before Christmas. 1. I hope and pray that you have a very happy and healthy Christmas holiday filled with much joy and peace. 2.

    This devotion is about the prayer of repentance by Jonah from the belly of the great fish. This is the 20th of 31 devotions on the book of Jonah, where a comparison is made between Jonah and The Church-at-large, in the light of the present global pandemic.

    Jonah 2:1-9 - Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish’s belly. 2 And he said: “I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, and He answered me. “Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and You heard my voice. 3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods ...read more

    Are you ready to leave 2020 behind for good? As much as we'd like to cut COVID off and put it behind us, we won't be able to quite yet. But there are other things that we can break free from. But if we're going to do it the right way we'll need to burn the ships.

    BURN THE SHIPS As we get ready to go into 2021, I'm sure everyone is ready to leave 2020 behind for good. Unfortunately, 2021 doesn't look like it's going to be much of a fresh start; we're still dealing with COVID in a major way. So it looks like we won't be able to get rid of ...read more

    Good riddance to a tough year, and here's to the promise of a new year, where Jesus can and does make all things new.

    [I am thankful for Charles Spurgeon's New Years Sermon of 1885. Much of the thought of this sermon came from that one.] “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.” — Revelation 21: 5 Good morning.

    The year of 2020 has really caused us to stop and shake our heads at what is going on. We have experienced unprecedented life events that leave us bewildered at best. In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye “What’s Going On”.

    In seeing the title of the sermon you may be thinking, "he can't be serious. Content during COVID? How?" Paul said that he learned the secret to contentment. With the way things are going it would do us well to learn that secret.

    BEING CONTENT DURING COVID In seeing the title of the sermon you may be thinking, "he can't be serious. Content during COVID? How?" Before the holidays hit we were making strides.

    John says, “We write this to make our joy complete. He presents Jesus as the source of the completed life. John says, “and the life was manifested.” Jesus is not a mysterious entity that is evasive, he is real, and Christians find their joy through him.

    Reality shows continue to draw people’s attention. . . In an article, 10 Reality Shows That Aren't Real At All (And 10 That Totally Are), Chris Littlechild, talks about how they claim to be real; however, “the producers are just looking to stir up drama with fake moments.
