    Peter gives us the good news that this world is not our home! ... Peter tells us how to use our Easter lenses as exiles. Today we will examine reverent fear, obedience and love.

    EASTER LENSES Text: I Peter 1:17 – 23 1 Peter 1:17-23  If you invoke as Father the one who judges all people impartially according to their deeds, live in reverent fear during the time of your exile.  (18)  You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ...read more

    While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 2,157 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

    Two Revealing Prayers Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,286 views

    This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled “Two Revealing Prayers,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.” Darrell Bock, in The NIV Application Commentary, says, “This parable is really the parable of the two prayers. In those prayers appear two ...read more

    At times, we all feel like we are misunderstood. And many times it is not a feeling, it is a reality.

    For example, sometimes our dogs misunderstand some things about us. Someone suggested these are some of the misunderstandings our pet dogs have... • Getting up does NOT mean we are going for a walk • Just because I'm eating, doesn't mean you can But not only do we have misunderstandings ...read more

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 4,394 views

    As we pray, we recognize sources of temptation: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We commit ourselves to overcoming with God's help: Know what is right, tell the truth, build a life too good to lose, and play to win.

    The more intimate a relationship is, the more certain we are to experience the worst side of a spouse, child, parent, friend... Jesus loved--and yes, loves--us at our worst, and beckons us to be his ambassadors by doing the same for others.

    The question is, “Are you a missionary or a mission field?” Acts 1:9NLT After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him. Gravity lose its hold on Jesus.
