Reconciliation Through The Cross

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 23, 2023

Like A Palm Tree

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 2, 2023

[Palm Sunday.] Today we wave the palms as we come to this table … a sign that our sin has come to end. Today we wave the palms and come to this table as we profess our desire to serve God wholeheartedly.

Palm Sunday. A perfect example of the fact that Jesus’ Disciples and His followers get it … and don’t get it. They get that He is a king … a leader … a prophet and messiah sent by God … but … a king … a leader … a prophet … a messiah who rides into the Jerusalem on colt … not a great stallion or ...read more

God Of Restoration

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 24, 2021

Jonah is angry; God helps him to deal with it. God's action is a great example to us in how to help someone who's hurting. We also see how God sometimes speaks to Jonah. We should be aware that God may speak in this way.

Over the past four weeks we’ve been following a series on Jonah. Today we move on to the last chapter in the book of Jonah and the last talk in our series. Since some of you haven’t been with us as we’ve gone through the book of Jonah, I’d like to fill you in on what’s been happening. The prophet ...read more

Hungering For Righteousness

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 4, 2021

If a person does not hunger for physical food they probably will not take time to eat and will die. If a person does not hunger for spiritual food they probably will not take time for spiritual food and will die spiritually. So, why don't we spend more time feasting on God's Word?

Hungering For Righteousness Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall ...read more

"Strike The Iron While It’s Hot!”

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 30, 2021

Elisha put his hands on the King's and said "Shoot!" Then the King banged the arrows, but only 3X. God gave him the opportunity for complete spiritual victory, but the King was only halfway committed. We must make a 100% dedication if we want God's best!

Trickery Of Satan - The Doctrine Of Balaam

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jul 4, 2020

The way of Balaam is the trickery of the devil even today. What he cannot do by cursing and fighting from the outside, he tries to do from the inside. Satan knows that he cannot stop God from blessing His people. So he tries all means to prevent those blessings from reaching us.

Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. Who is this Balaam? Balaam was a ...read more
