     | 2,344 views

    Semper Fi is a phrase that has been adopted by the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi means “always faithful”, or “always loyal.” We are called to serve Him and continue serving Him until He calls us home. Semper Fi, fellow Christians. Always be faithful to the end.

    Every Word From The Mouth Of God

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 15, 2020
     | 7,267 views

    The phrase "it is written" is used seventy-two times in the Bible and even four times when Jesus is being tempted by the devil in the wilderness. (The evil one used it once, too.) Why did Jesus and the apostles lean so heavily on Scripture? Is it really so important?

    Every Word From the Mouth of God Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) … 2 ...read more

    No Satisfaction

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025
     | 127 views

    Solomon’s relentless search for meaning—in wisdom, work, and wealth—ended in emptiness, proving that life “under the sun” cannot satisfy the human heart. Lasting joy and fulfillment come only from God through Jesus Christ, who alone turns life’s vanity into eternal victory.

    Introduction – When “More” Is Never Enough It was the six-year-old boy’s first day of school. He had only one goal in life—to have as much fun as possible. Excited but nervous, he marched through the gate determined to squeeze every drop of joy from the day. At noon there was a knock at the door. ...read more

    The sermon calls us to sincere generosity, prayer, and forgiveness, rooted in God’s love, seeking His approval over others, and living as beloved children.

    Some of us arrived today with hearts that feel hurried, hands that feel heavy, and hopes that feel thin. The week may have been loud, and your soul may feel a little quieted by weariness. If that’s you, you’re in good company. Jesus meets people like us—people with a pair of tired eyes and a prayer ...read more

    Suppose everything we thought and believed about religion got stripped away from us in one horrific event. Suppose all the answers we thought we had to all the questions we thought people wanted answered, seemed hollow and empty.

    "I am the Bread of Life"... "I am the vine" ... My blood is real drink" ... Jesus words are indeed words to hang unto because they are life-giving. They are not empty words, they are words of spirit and life (John 6:63), words that give us hope.

    At Cana, both Mary and Jesus knew that if Jesus intervened to fix the problem of the empty wineskins, as He did on her request, doing such a sign reminiscent of the prophets’ predictions about God’s redemptive action would start them both down the road to Calvary.
