    In the conclusion of his letter Jude calls attention to the life of the beloved, the called, the saved, and the sanctified with this phrase… “But ye, beloved…” He goes on to give the beloved 5 directives.

    This word, paraklesis, is used 29 times in the New Testament. What we learn from a study of this word is that an encouraged Christian is a positive functioning member of the body, but that a discouraged Christian is a malfunctioning member of the body.

    Admiral Richard Byrd, a famous polar explorer, had incredible adventures of being lost and then found.

    Never Give Up, Never Surrender Series

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 605 views

    Paul shows how to return and keep moving—admitting we haven’t arrived, forgetting what holds us, and pressing on toward Christ (Philippians 3:12–16). The direction is the point: let go of past wins and wounds, lean forward, and run because Christ already holds you.

    Last week, we kicked off our series "Back At It," and we talked about how Jesus meets us where we are, even when we've drifted back to our old ways. We looked at the story of Jesus cooking breakfast for His disciples on the shore, calling them back to their true purpose. Today, ...read more

    A woman once wrote that at a garage sale she had spotted a handsome antique copper kettle for only $2.50. It was badly tarnished, so she asked the woman running the sale if the discoloration would come out. She cheerfully offered to try some copper cleaner on it and disappeared with it into ...read more

    To face the future set up a plan, stay in the Word and step out in faith.

    FACING THE FUTURE Years ago there was a TV program I was reminded of the other day called "Early Edition." I only saw it once or twice but if I remember the basic storyline centered around a young man who was given tomorrow’s newspaper today.

    Life gets messy. That’s no surprise. What is surprising is how easily we forget that God wants joy to be our regular experience of life. And it’s the stuff a a messy life where we’ll experience God’s joy. We’re called to live in harmony, peace and of cour

    Introduction Over the years I’ve noticed a pattern in how God works in my life. Whenever I’m going to speak about a particular topic God first allows me to personally experience it.

    God remembers us in life and in death; through Christ’s resurrection we are known, valued, and restored to everlasting, resurrected life with Him.

    I. THE QUESTION THAT HAUNTS THE HUMAN HEART When I was a little boy, I used to imagine my own death. I didn’t understand theology, I didn’t know Greek or Hebrew, I didn’t know about immortality or resurrection. I only knew the ache inside a child’s heart.

    Introduction: This past Spring, our church was involved in a spiritual campaign called 40 Days of Purpose.

    As we approach 2024, I want us to review the Bible’s strategy for living the Christian life.

    Introduction We know from the way the New Testament writers used the Psalms that the Psalms were the book of praise and meditation for the early church. In other words, the early church did not say, “Well, Christ, the Messiah, has come now, so everything written of old is out of date and ...read more

    Harvard Business Review reported that only 10% of family-owned business get passed down successfully to the third generation. Only 70% of family-owned businesses last one generation.
