     | 1,837 views

    Notice in verse 8…That night, in a field near Bethlehem,… Many scholars believe that these could be the same fields where sacrificial flocks were kept for temple worship.

    Laughing In the Woods Luke 2:8-12TPT Luke 2:8-12TPT That night, in a field near Bethlehem, there were shepherds watching over their flocks. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared in radiant splendor before them, lighting up the field with the blazing glory of God, and the shepherds were ...read more

    At the end of Romans 13, Paul reminds Christians of the debt of love they owe and warns them to wake up and put off the deeds of darkness because the return of Christ is nearing.

    A. One of my favorite things to do as a father when our daughters were growing up, was to wake them up in the morning. 1. I loved seeing their sweet, sleepy faces as I woke them with a gentle voice, saying, “It’s time to wake up.” 2. What is your attitude when you wake up? a. I’m a morning ...read more

    Sermon # 7 - Throw-Off, Rebuild, Unite Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 11, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,006 views

    The call of God to the church today is to cast off everything that hinders us from reaching our destination, to rebuild the broken altars, and to work towards the unity of the body of Christ. The coming of the Lord is near and the church must be ready to receive the bridegroom.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. (ESV) As we continue our study on the life of Jonah and the church, I believe that God is declaring His word to the church of ...read more

    Pergamum: When Faithfulness Is Misplaced Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 28, 2026
     | 24 views

    Living near power, Pergamum remained faithful yet misdirected loyalty, until Christ’s word called repentance, restored authority, and promised hidden sustenance and identity.

    Pergamum is the third letter to the seven churches in Revelation, and by the time we arrive here, the pressure has changed again. Ephesus dealt with something that faded quietly. Smyrna faced pressure that came from the outside, loud and unmistakable. Pergamum is different. The danger here is ...read more

    Jesus said, "it is finished." What was finished? There was alot of things finished when Jesus made this statement. He made the statement and commended His spirit to God.

    A Gift Worth Waiting For – Part 2

    The Bible presents Jesus Christ as much more than a great prophet and teacher. God's Word presents Jesus Christ as God incarnate.

    (Gal 4:4 NKJV) But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, Last time we learned that the statement, "God sent forth His Son," pointed to the deity of Christ—meaning that Jesus is fully God. We learned that Jesus is not just ...read more

    Somehow, each year many of us start out on the right track, but loose our resolve and end up not keeping a single resolution we made. Am I the only one this applies to?

    2 Timothy 3:14,16-17: But as for you, continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,… All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the ...read more

    Look for God’s hand in all of life. We rejoice in his presence when souls are won to Christ. We can also rejoice in his presence when things look critical.

    Acts 16 describes the conversions of Lydia and an unnamed Philippian Jailer. Some commentators also believe that the girl with the spirit of divination whom Paul exercised was converted. That may be possible, but we have no information to confirm or deny it. What the Holy Spirit did inspire to ...read more
