    A Journey Towards Transformation: "The Damascus Road” Series

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,260 views

    In a moment, Paul was transformed, where the confronter became the confronted. The hunter became the hunted. The accuser was now the accused. And while he thought he had the authority, in that moment he found himself powerless when he heard the true voice of authority.

    A Journey Towards Transformation?“The Damascus Road” Acts 9:1-19 Thinking about this whole idea that we’ll be exploring in our Easter message, “God Will Make a Way,” the concept of the various roads that both Jesus and His disciples took up to and following His resurrection came to mind. We’ll ...read more

    Having never been in the military I hear fellows talk about some of the wars that they were involved. When I hear them talk of these wars I have to set back and listen because I have never been any of the wars they talk about.

    But one day all of us will find ourselves in the WAR OF ALL WARS and we are going to have a ring side seat as we watch the Lord win this great battle call Armageddon. Before we get started in Revelation 19 that deals with Armageddon, I need to explain why Revelation chapter 17 and 18 is in the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,272 views

    In the church, a lot of confusing language is used to try and explain or define things.

    Today we will look at the Trinity, often defined as "one in ‘essence,’ three in person." What does that mean exactly? God is three Persons, and the name 'God' implies one ‘essence.’ If God is "three Persons," how can there be "one" ‘essence’? The meaning of the ...read more

    What Do You Do When The Lights Go Out?

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 1, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,655 views

    Are you experiencing a dark time in your life? Are you unable to make sense of what is happening? There are times in every Christians life when, despite our faithfulness, we’re suddenly plunged into deep, deep darkness. And we’re left asking the question – why? What do we do when the lights go out?

    Five-year old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper. She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.” She asked again, and he persisted. Finally, she said, “It’s OK, go; Jesus will be in there ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 274 views

    Faith is not measured by certainty or outcomes, but by a living relationship with Jesus—trusting Him faithfully when answers are delayed and life remains unresolved.

    Some of us are old enough to remember a simple song that used to show up on the radio and in cartoons. It wasn’t trying to be profound. It wasn’t aiming for insight. It was lighthearted—almost silly. And yet, it stayed with people far longer than you’d expect. --- High Hopes Next time you're ...read more
