Sometimes life gets so bad you think * ...read more

    Jesus Comes: Jesus Seeks and Saves A new year starts and many folks are already worried about the promises they made just before the new year began. It’s safe to say… we break promises; not because we want to, but because we simply do not have the fortitude to endure through the ...read more

     | 16,941 views

    If it is true that we often talk about the things and people we love, then it's fair to ask "Do you love Jesus? How often to you speak of Him?"

    “Soul Talk: I Love You Lord” Ps. 116 When we truly love someone or something we readily talk about the object of our love. Think about what you truly love – your heroes, your sports teams, your job, your favorite activities, your favorite food, your spouse, your ...read more

    The Music Of Heaven

    Contributed by Glenn Dale Pease on Aug 29, 2014
     | 10,753 views

    The book of Revelation has a host of happy hymns of harmony as part of the heavenly scene. Poems of praise are part of paradise. Joyful songs of jubilation to Jesus are a major part of this revelation about heaven.

    THE MUSIC OF HEAVEN based on Rev.15:1-8 By Glenn Pease Most of us are not gifted in the realm of music. Many of us feel pathetic in our ability to sing, and even more so with our ability to produce music. We can easily envy those to whom it comes easy.

    Halloween is harmful because it lures people into the occult. Many children are introduced to cultic practices at Halloween parties. I first learned about the occult at a Halloween party as a teenager. Many kids get their first exposure to cultic horror movies at Halloween parties.

    There is only one thing that we cannot live without – and that is God Himself. But usually it’s not until all we have is God, that we discover God is all we need. Then our song will be Give Me Jesus! Moses is going to be reduced to God.

     | 52,259 views

    God's grace as the avenue of salvation is sometimes seen as being in conflict with obedience of the believer as a requirement, without which salvation cannot be obtained. Which is it, or is it a combination? Can this dichotomy be satisfactorily resolved?

    Giving to the church is a very basic part of Christianity. Giving should be from the heart, thought about before hand, should be done willingly. After this sermon our church stopped passing the offering plates for offering.
