    The Eternal Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Oct 22, 2016
     | 5,825 views

    The Sabbath day of the Old Testament is fulfilled in the work of the Lord Jesus in the New Testament. It is no wonder that Christians in the Early Church called the first day of the week, "The Lord's Day". The Lord's Day coincides with God's Creation.

    “The Eternal Sabbath” Exodus 20:8-11 We have been looking at the Ten Commandments as part of the unfolding drama of salvation in the Old Testament. A short review from Exodus 20:1: “And God spoke all these words, saying: 2 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the ...read more

    Rahab And The Spies Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 17, 2016
     | 12,431 views

    There was a time when we were like Rahab. We were outside of the family of God, living in the blindness and corruption of sin, till God instilled faith in us. Like Rahab, we are invited just as we are. God will take us and transform us.

    This is a story of grace... The last time spies were sent to do a covert reconnaissance of the Promised Land, there were twelve, sent by Moses, and only two of them, Caleb and Joshua, had faith to believe God would grant Israel victory. Perhaps symbolically, Joshua sent two men to glean ...read more

     | 5,484 views

    John the Baptist called for each of us to repent. What does that mean? How do we get turned around when we find we are on the wrong road?

    As Jesus began His ministry, one of the first priorities was to assemble a team of men to serve alongside Him, men He could teach and equip to carry on the work of the church. The Lord is still seeking those who will follow Him in service.
