    The Bible is God's love story to us. Like the psalmist, we should hunger for God's word. As we choose to obey him and read his word, our desire to obey him over our temptations will grow.

    Psalm 119:97-104 Growing in God’s Word What book is the best-selling and most widely distributed book of all time?

    Four Steps To Forgiveness

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Sep 15, 2014
    based on 43 ratings
     | 28,781 views

    When we find hate in our heart, it is simply a sign that we are going to need to forgive. Forgiveness doesn't make the other person right, it sets you free. For a believer , forgiveness is not simply the wisest choice, O Beloved, it is our only choice.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,105 views

    As you examine the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah, you find a picture of all people. Naomi represents a wayward believer; Orpah pictures one who was exposed and yet refused the gospel; Ruth is a picture of grace in salvation.

    Three Widows in Moab Ruth 1:8-18 Last week we began our study in the book of Ruth. We discovered that Moab was a place of difficulty and desperation. It is a picture of the world, much like that of Egypt in Scripture. Dwelling in the land of Moab will always result in separation and spiritual ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,082 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more
