I Am The Light Of The World Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 24, 2021

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Feb 4, 2021

Where’s your fruit, Church? Maybe the world doesn’t see much fruit from us because we’re hiding out like Moses and making excuses instead of jumping into action. God sometimes asks us to do difficult things. Will we trust Him? Do we respond in faith or with excuses when God calls?

Last week, we heard a powerful message on the topic of faith and works... about how faith without works is dead. The pastor said, “Focus on God, and then He through you will produce the fruit... You can’t do anything for God... but God through you can do amazing, amazing, amazing things!” He ...read more

Antidotes For Anger

Contributed by James Dina on Sep 24, 2020

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. Cease from anger because it rests in the bosom of fools.

Greatly Appreciated

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 27, 2020

Based on some of the answers it was clear that people are most appreciative of people and the things that helped them to ...read more

The Need For Church Revival: Recover

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 22, 2020

Jesus goes on to tell the believers at Ephesus to do the works that they did at first.

First, we were encouraged to “remember”. Last time we were encouraged to “repent”. Many of us came to the front of the church to confess our sins to God and to forsake them. That was a good thing. That was a liberating thing. But, according to Jesus in Revelation chapter two, “remembering ...read more
