It seems that the little boy was convinced that God’s first name was Harold and that God spent most of his time painting and modelling and drawing; because he began the Lord’s ...read more

    How do you know when you’ve done enough? How good do you have to be? What standard do we measure ourselves against?

    Are Good Works Good Enough? Rev. Brian Bill August 10-11, 2019 Last month in Virginia I had the opportunity to run a 10K race with our daughter Lydia on a hot and humid day.

We exchanged pleasantries and went on with our meal. When it came time to pay we found that our church ...read more

    Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. He failed, several times, but God forgave him and gave him a future to be proud of.

    Introduction: Each of Jacob’s twelve sons was different from the others. That goes without saying, as any parent of more than one child will probably agree! Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah and his name is related to the Hebrew word for “praise (Gen. 29:35)”. Some of his deeds might have ...read more

    Praise God for His omnipotent ability to work ALL things together for good for those who love God and all are called according to His purposes. Sometimes when we doubt that the Lord can work good out of adversity we need to remember
