Full - Pt. 1 - Pushing Past Empty! Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Jan 26, 2017

Jesus Is Exhausted Series

Jesus said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat! (Mark 6:31)

I’ve had days like that (indeed, ...read more

It Is High Time to Suprise the Devil Jer. 32:27 27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

God Is Love, And We Are Not

Contributed by Randall Long on May 30, 2019

A lot of us go through life with a watered-down idea of what God's love is. We will look at two incidents from the Gospel of Luke in which someone met that love face to face to help us understand both His love and His holiness.

There is a saying that appears a few times in the Old Testament. Proverbs 9:10 puts it like this: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". Other verses use slightly different wording, but they all declare the value of the "fear of the LORD". I was troubled by that ...read more

Hope In Suffering

Contributed by Hiram Withers on Nov 22, 2018

Psalm 130 does not give us insight as to why we suffer, it gives us the reality that we will suffer, it is not a matter of if but when we suffer. It gives us insight into how we respond to suffering makes an incredible difference in how we live our lives.

We have pointed out in our ascent to grow closer to God we will face persecution and that will and does cause suffering, but that suffering is a direct result of the decision we have made to follow Christ. We have been warned that it will happen, and we are comforted in the fact that in the end the ...read more
