    Contributed by Todd Blair on Aug 6, 2013
     | 9,625 views

    Can you imagine what God could do with a group of people who remembered?

    So...why are you here? Most of you know that is one of my favorite questions to ask.

But have you ever asked yourself that question before; not as a deep theological ...read more

    John 6:12 Let us read the Word of God together in Jesus' name! How much did you pay to God for giving you the air that you breathe today? Did you think about the fact that you are only alive because the air is given to you freely? This air is extremely expensive and valuable but we have it ...read more

    Which will you extinguish: Hell's fires or Heaven's fires? Fire is important; but it must be the right kind. At a time when God's people were compromising & backslidden, Samson set an example of a man who fanned the flames of the Spirit and extinguished h

    The Seriousness Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 16, 2018

     | 11,752 views

    We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.

    THE SERIOUSNESS OF FORGIVENESS Last week we looked into the subject of forgiveness. I started by saying we first had to answer the question of whether or not we want to forgive. And if we do we need to determine how to go about it. We looked at Paul's words in Eph., and Col. and saw that we are ...read more
