    Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! How many of you are wearing green? Good for you. But - wasn’t it just Christmas a couple of weeks ago? It’s hard to believe that Easter is only two weeks away. I realize that what I’m about to say will betray my age, but don’t you find that every year seems to go by ...read more

    Does The Bible Teach Meditation And Guided Imagery

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 12, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,010 views

    There is a resurgence of the word 'meditate' being used in churches today about personal devotional prayer as a way to draw closer to God as a person contemplates His divine attributes.

    Many 'techniques' have risen to help people along the path of daily sanctification by learning how to pray and worship, which has resulted in something called contemplative spirituality, also known as meditation, guided imagery, centering, or listening prayer, using imagination and ...read more

    Nothing Is Going To Take My Song

    One of the greatest revelations of David's life was the power of song. No one understood praise any better than David, and no one understood the power of a song like David. A song is more than words strung together to a tune. A song is a helper, a companion, and a weapon.

    Psalm 137:1-4 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. [2] We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts that feel hurried and hands that feel heavy. You’ve prayed for peace but still feel the pull. You’ve promised yourself patience and then snapped before breakfast. You’ve wanted joy and found only jitters. Friend, you’re not alone. What if, in the middle of ...read more

    The sermon urges us to end each season and day with intentional prayer, focusing on what truly matters and leaving a legacy of faithfulness to God.

    If you’ve ever closed a well-worn journal, you know the gentle weight of a last line. Ink fades, pages wrinkle, and somewhere in the hush after the final sentence, a story settles. There’s a tender finality in that moment—like the soft sigh after “amen.” That’s how Psalm 72 ends: not with a ...read more

    A classic sermon by St. Augustine on the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5.

    Chapter 1 1.
