Let This Be The Year That Your Heart Beats With God’s Heart

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 8, 2019

In the Bible their are “little” words that we oftentimes read past. The word “let” is one of them. This message looks at many of the verses that contain the word “let” to demonstrate how “letting” God will bring us closer to Him.

A God Of Forgiveness

Contributed by John Saynor on Feb 23, 2021

The appointed Psalm for Ash Wednesday describes a God who forgives and forgets! For those who have difficulty accepting God's forgiveness, it would do well to read Psalm 103: 8-18.

Today I want to talk about forgiveness. It has been on my mind for some time now as a result of our regular use of our liturgies to guide us in worship. It has come to me that during our liturgies we repeat our need for forgiveness so often that I’m sure God gets tired of listening to us. What ...read more

The Bible And God's Will

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 1, 2021

The Bible is life’s operating manual. It teaches us how to live in every major issue we face in life. It’s a sure guide to success. Unfortunately, too many fail to read the instructions.

Last time, we talked about God’s Will versus our will. We learned a little about predestination. And I tried to answer many of the questions about predestination. Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and ...read more

Lord Build Me In Obedience Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

Is it too much? Is it too hard? Sometimes when we read the Bible, we wonder, can it really be done? It seems like so much, it seems like such a high standard. I’ve wondered that at times.

"I've read that when Edward VI, the king of England in the 16th century, attended a worship service, he stood while the Word of God was read.
