    What Are We To Do If There Is A Tater Family In Our Church?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 8, 2023
     | 1,749 views

    Although the title to this message mentions a Tater Family, the passage of Scripture speaks about the servants working with the pounds. Do Christians of today resemble the servants in the Scripture?

    This is the story about the pounds. This story tells of a certain nobleman who received a kingdom, and it showed the followers of Jesus what they were to do during the time between when Jesus would leave and his Second Coming. The followers were to be unwavering and fruitful while he was gone. ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Have Spiritually Blurred Vision?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 24, 2023
     | 4,679 views

    What does it mean in having blurred vision? Blurred vision is the deficiency of sharpness of visual perception, causing objects to show up cloudy or out of focus.

    The essential drivers of obscured vision are refractive issues – myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (imperfection in the curvature of the eye), or presbyopia (gradual loss of seeing close things clearly). Blurred vision can likewise be an indication of a more ...read more

    Do We Have A Vision Of Goodness?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 4, 2023
     | 777 views

    Are we focused just on what and who is inside our church doors? Or are we looking, searching and sharing what we have with others so that they may come in?

    In this context, vision alludes to the disclosure (prophesy) that the prophets would obtain from God. Where there is obliviousness of God, sin and crime go out of control. The public moral compass of society relies upon the knowing God’s directions, yet it likewise relies upon individuals keeping ...read more

    Today we're going to use several familiar passages of Scripture to stress the importance of us sharing Christ with the world. Telling others about Jesus is what helps to make a church be an authentic church. Authentic, because we truly care about other's salvation.

It's common in today's world for people to share private moments and public thoughts about anything and everything--- almost. The ...read more

    Only a few Sundays ago, I preached on the story of Jesus picking up a little child and holding him in his arms (Mark 9:30-37) St. Mark did not name the child. But guess what? A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more
