Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

All of us have fallen, and our fall is not something in the past. It is something very much present right now. It is personal for each one of us. All of us come to a point when we want that which will be harmful to us.

Sharing Jesus' Mission

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 2, 2024

Being involved in the mission and the ministry of Jesus should be exciting for us. We shouldn't think of it as a chore, something that burdens us.

I am sure that most of you can relate to this. You purchase something that needs to be assembled. It might be a swing set for the kids. It might be a certain piece of furniture. There are so many things now that you can get and assemble yourself in order to save money. Now I have to ask, ”When ...read more

Be Ready For Persecution

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 25, 2025

Once, while travelling between villages, Jaun met about fifty armed guerillas. He took the opportunity to share the gospel with them, and twenty ...read more

I intentionally saved the best for this week! We had 4 baptisms last year, church. We give God all the glory for that! We’ll talk about that a little more, in a bit.

The Time For Action Is Now!

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Nov 4, 2025

An echo through time has been Jesus telling us that we need to bring the Gospel message out to the world. The Hebrews of His time did not understand that it was their task to do. Jesus came to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles.

Koplitz Luke 12:54 And He was also saying to the crowds, “Whenever you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. 55 “And whenever you feel a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It ...read more
