    I love our country as much as anyone but, I’m afraid we are heading in the direction of Gods judgment upon us real quick. The majority of the people are looking to our government for protection and the most are putting their trust in it instead of God

    God allows thorns in our lives to refine us, to keep us humble, and to be sure He gets the glory for all we do.

    Children. They really are precious, and I really do love them, but the simple truth is, I have a really hard time being around them for any extended period of time. Which for me is anything over about three minutes.  I’m not sure what it is, maybe it’s the long running around ...read more

    An Outline Of Acts 5:17-42

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 6, 2021
     | 2,961 views

    The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

    Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

    Being Focussed Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 19, 2019
     | 3,766 views

    In fellowship together we are called to be distinct focussed disciples. Focussed disciples are salt and light – undiluted and not hidden. This focus may lead to persecution, or to people glorifying the Father. No matter the outcome we remain focussed.

    Message Matthew 5:10-16 Being Focussed When you become a Christian it doesn’t take too long for you to hear about the Beatitudes. We find them in Matthew 5 … open your Bible to that place … Matthew 5. (Read Matthew 5:3-10) Jesus uses these Beatitudes to introduce what it means to have a kingdom ...read more

    No Place Like Home

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 9, 2022
     | 3,452 views

    We would sooner give up everything of human worth, even earthly joy, physical health and wholeness, than lose that gift. For this is our true home: in Zion, with God, and in his house. This is always home for God’s people: to be with Him!

    There’s no place like home. You realize that when you’ve been away for a while: maybe on vacation, a business trip, or in the hospital. Home is a refuge. For when we’re at home, we’re surrounded by the familiar. Home is security and comfort. There’s no place like it. But how do we know when we’ve ...read more
