And we know, of course, it is going to be a fatal ...read more

There's No Place Like Home Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 16, 2022

It is the cross and the promise of a life after this one that makes this world, with all its ups and down, with all its sorrow, with all its conflicts and challenges all that much more bearable when we know that all of this is just temporary.

“There’s no place like home.” Who said it? Right … Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Why is that line so iconic?

When Heaven Sends Help: Understanding The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 9, 2025

In sports, we often talk about “home-field” advantage. But the Holy Spirit is better than the “home field” advantage. Again, He is the outside power you need. He is the outside power you need for life, for holiness, and for witness.

Just before Jesus died on the cross, He sat the Disciples down for a lengthy training session. Knowing He was only hours from departing, Jesus poured in them. It’s right here that Jesus introduces the Holy Spirit. This is known as the Farewell Discourse by Bible scholars. Today’s Scripture “If ...read more

Contributed by Brian Buriff on Jun 14, 2006
