    Faith That Makes Us One

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on May 24, 2025
     | 414 views

    Have you ever walked into a room and immediately wondered, “Do I belong here?”

    A lot of people today walk into churches wondering: “Would I be welcome here?” “If they knew my past… my struggles… my doubts… would I still belong?” Sadly, sometimes the Church has made it harder than it should be to answer confidently, “Yes, you belong.” This isn’t a new problem. In Acts 15, the ...read more

    "My Will Be Done Or Thy Will Be Done”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 16, 2022
     | 3,745 views

    We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

    But some of us do not have to be reminded because there are all kinds of emergencies that come up each day that remind us to pray. Illus: A mother and her five year old son were headed to McDonald's. Before they reached the drive way to McDonald’s the mother noticed a car accident. ...read more

    Backstabbers

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 12, 2025
     | 362 views

    Jesus didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did the other Twelve. Shakespeare cannot have Jesus say, “Et tu, Judas,” because Jesus knew what was coming. And even though Jesus knew what was coming, He didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did any other disciple over those three years.

    Find John 13 with me, if you will. Many of you recognize the phrase “Et Tu, Brute?” immediately. It’s Latin for “You too, Brutus?” It’s a quote from Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, where the Roman dictator speaks to his friend Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar recognizes Brutus as one of his ...read more

    Truly Following Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 18, 2025
     | 367 views

    There are a variety of reasons why some people follow Jesus - some for benefits, some to slander, some to argue, some bandwagon followers, but what does it take to be a true follower of Jesus?

    It seems like nearly every week I run into people who have some sort of faith. They say that believe in Jesus or at least call themselves Christians, but don’t attend a church. Their faith is very personal, private, and even comfortable. They choose to follow Jesus on their terms, as long as He ...read more

    In the story of "Ichabod: Where is the Glory?" we explore God's presence, human frailty, and His enduring faithfulness. It's a journey from despair to restoration, revealing God's unchanging love.

    Ichabod: Where is the Glory? Introduction: In our study of the book of Samuel, we come across a tragic event that signifies the departure of the glory of God from His people.

    These four small attitudes will do as we begin to think about how to apply the Truth of what Jesus shares with us in Luke 12 and as we apply verse 31. Seeking His Kingdom should be first for us. Jesus should be our focus. Our relationship with God should be our focus.

    Failure is a common experience and with God's help we can keep failure from being final. Jesus left a great example of how to handle failure when He was rejected in His own hometown.

    Appreciate what Jesus did for you on the cross: feel its sorrow; grasp its suffering; and take its sufficiency. You’ll never be the same again!
