    Sermon deals with the meaninglessness of life without God, then expounds the three objectives God is always pursuing in the believer's life. Knowing these three objectives helps the Christian interpret life's events in a biblical way.

    This message is about completing the job that we start while also, as one body, helping others complete the job(s) they are doing for Christ. We are all running a race with the same goal ahead of us - crossing the finish line successfully.

    Finish What Is Started Good morning Strangers Rest! The title of my message this morning is “Finish What Is Started.” Please note that I did not say “Finish what “you” started, but finish “what is” started.

    Other than the computer, I can’t think of any invention that has impacted our lives more than the cell phone. This device I hold in my hand goes with us everywhere.

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jul 7, 2025
     | 392 views

    As Jesus makes a turn toward Jerusalem, we learn that the disciples still have so much to learn - but so do we.

    In his book Mere Christianity, CS Lewis uses an illustration to note how different it is to learn something than it is to apply that thing. His illustration centered on the difference between a map and being out on the water. In two dimensions, a map can look quite straight forward. You can see ...read more

    What will worship be like during the Millennium? What part will the Feast of Tabernacles play in that? How can we apply Zechariah 14:16 to our lives today?

    Intro In the last six verses of the book of Zechariah, we get a glimpse into the Millennium. Zechariah does not give us a lot of information about life during the Millennium. But the material in Zechariah 14:16-21 sheds valuable light on the subject. Zechariah’s message revolves around the two ...read more

    Trading Excuses For Obedience

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 4, 2025
     | 175 views

    (Turning Every ‘But’ into a ‘Because') Obedience begins when excuses end; trading every “but” for a “because” transforms hesitation into worship and believers into living testimonies.

    Introduction — The Power of “B.U.T.” There’s a small word that can sabotage the biggest dreams, derail the best intentions, and shrink the boldest faith. It’s just three letters long, yet it carries the weight of an anchor. The word is but. A teacher once asked her students to write about ...read more
