    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 24, 2024
     | 1,260 views

    It’s not enough to simply call Jesus Lord, we really have to abandon ourselves to Him, deny ourselves, deny our old pattern of life, and embrace the new pattern of carrying our cross with Jesus. Otherwise there’s no hope. We have to give it all over!

    Abandon yourself to God. What does it mean exactly? When we become a follower of Jesus, we are renouncing, or throwing off our old ways of life. And we’re choosing a new way of life. A life which is now fundamentally under the command and control of God Almighty. We abandon ourselves to God. We ...read more

    God invites us to humble ourselves, pray, and turn from sin, promising forgiveness and healing when we seek Him with sincere, repentant hearts.

    Storms come with headlines and hard weeks. They rattle windows and rattle nerves. But some promises feel like a porch light left on—steady, warm, welcoming us home. Today we stand beneath one such light. It’s a promise for people who are weary of worry, hungry for hope, and ready to see God’s hand ...read more

    This the the sixth message in the "Survivor" series. This message talks about how the God said, "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge." What you don't know can hurt you. Ignorance is never an excuse. If you don't believe it, ask the IRS.

     | 633 views

    Numerous times during my career, unbelievers have used God's judging the Canaanites as an excuse not to believe in God. They insinuate that God did evil in executing the people, particularly the children. Let's correct the view; God did the just thing!

    I AM is a complete statement when made by God, but how about us? What do we add to that statement when describing ourselves? Is it accurate? Is it honest?

The problem is that we get so caught up in determining what faith is, and if we have enough of it. This is nothing new. Jesus’ ...read more
