    God had given his people explicit instructions as to how to conduct themselves. First God’s people were to love him and second they were to love others. The prophet Micah points out that sacrifice is pointless unless it is supported with obedience.

    “What God Desires” Part 2: Micah 6:8 “Loving-kindness” This week we continue our three week series on “What God Desires.” Last week we introduced ourselves to the prophet Micah and in particular the lawsuit God filed against his people for their breaking of their covenant agreement.

    This is the second message of a three part Christmas series on the first 7 verses of Isaiah 9. Today’s message focuses specifically on the answer to the question, “Who Is Jesus?” Do you know the answer? This is the perfect season to find out.

    Who is Jesus to you? Lots of people believe in Jesus. Many atheists and agnostics believe in Jesus. They will say that He was a real historical person.

    It is easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and forget about our first love, Jesus Christ. We need to pause, examine our life and return to Him, because the end is near, and He is coming soon.

People takes inventory to uncover theft, minimise loss, find flaws in sales strategies, evaluate product performance and get rid of out of date items.

    A Good Turn Daily is easier said than done - make sure you take care of your fitness and prayerlife first. Create for yourself a daily personal victory, because we need tons of perishable wreaths to feel good.

    What kind of first impression of the Christian faith do we leave with those that we meet? If like Paul, we proclaim ourselves as followers of Christ, how loud would our proclamation be if it were under punishment of death?

    Some of us handle truth by simply asserting ourselves forcefully. Paul's way was to root truth in revelation rather than logic; to find authentic confidence in personal experience; and to submit himself to transformation. First Baptist Church of Gaithers

    If there’s one thing I have a strong opinion about, it is that I do not like people with strong opinions! I have a hard time with the person who declares what he thinks with absolute hard-core certainty, riding roughshod over any contrary thoughts I might have. I struggle with that. I have ...read more

    As we think through this song, we are going to first look at a central belief that we hold about God… that He is Holy. Then we will look at the passage that inspired the song which is the vision of the Apostle John in Revelation chapter 4.

    David speaks to God before he speaks to the people who are causing the problem. So many times, we reverse this. If we have a problem with someone, we talk to them first and only talk to God as a last resort.

    I want to talk to you about turning to God prayer to destress your home for the next few minutes. We launch a new series where we are looking at four attitudes that every home should have in the coming weeks. I invite you to find Psalm 4 with me. Children and parents are stressed!

    If you ever sit down and talk with our youngest son about the subject of Christmas gifts, I am sure it wouldn’t take long for you to hear all about his little adventure one Christmas a few years ago.

    Some call it the Lord’s Supper. Some call it Communion. Some call it the Eucharist. Just as there are different names for the event, there are many different teachings about it. That confusion isn’t a new thing. It was going on even in the first century C
