    Life is full of ups and downs. God wants us to always stay focused on Him when times or good or bad. Don’t give up on God, but don’t forget about Him either.

    For the past few weeks we've been talking about things like betrayal, temptation, and the injustices in our lives. Today I want to group all of that together and just talk a little bit about hard times in general. Life is full of ups and downs. A star quarterback throws a game-winning ...read more

     | 2,859 views

    The work of Jesus is more powerful than our questions and our doubts. Jesus is for us. We can trust that He is with us, bringing us to the Father, no matter what situation we might face.

    I want to talk about trusting God today. Trusting Jesus. You have heard me preach this topic many times. But there comes a time in all of our lives when we truly question our trust in God. More than likely it has happened to every person in this room. Maybe it was a child of yours who ended up ...read more

    Sleeping Through A Garden Moment

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022
     | 1,230 views

    This is the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. No doubt we have all heard this story preached, read it ourselves, or seen movies regarding the Crucifixion of Christ. He was the perfect Son, in perfect union, with the perfect Father.

    Was Jesus attempting to escape the performance of his undertaking? Jesus was communicating his actual sentiments however he did not deny or oppose God's will. He reaffirmed his desire to do what God needed him to do. His petition features the awful enduring he needed to suffer, and desolation ...read more

    We've probably all been through hard times at least once. It's difficult even to think of joy in those trying moments, yet James wrote that believers should consider trials joyous.

    Message 1 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

Some of you may remember the For Dummies series of books that became popular 20-30 years ago and are still ...read more
