    An exploration of creative gifts, especially artistry, artisanship and music.

    Where do you rate on the creativity scale? Do you look at a stripe of paint on a piece on a canvas and go, "Wow! That’s really profound." Or do you just sort of stare at it in puzzled disbelief. "How much is this thing going for?" Creativity is one of those wonderful gifts God has imparted into ...read more

    We have promises in the bible that guarantee us the right to come to God and get whatever we need.

    "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in the time of need." Hebrews 4:16 When I was young going to a birthday party was a big deal for me. I lived in a small community in Oklahoma called Mountain View, so there was just a small handful of ...read more

     | 32,165 views

    Part 4 of this series describes what the first Christians were like, some of the things they did in Christianity's earliest days, and the spread of Christianity in the region and the world.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making.

    Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Feb 10, 2020
     | 5,713 views

    As a disciple of Jesus living for Him means that you will face challenges that most will not experience. If you are living as a committed disciple of Jesus, then trouble will come your way.

    Counting The Cost Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,260 views

    Jesus said that if we are thinking about following Him, then we should first add up the cost. If we have not considered the task ahead of time, then we may give up; and when this happens, it is a bad testimony to the world.

    This evening’s message is entitled, “Counting the Cost,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that is sometimes called, “The Cost of Discipleship.” When Jesus spoke about the cost of discipleship He incorporated two parables to illustrate His point. One parable speaks of a tower builder and ...read more

    You Are The Salt Of The Earth Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 23, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,543 views

    Jesus calls us to be the salt - the preservative - of the earth. He warns us against losing our sense of mission. Or, considering the Greek, perhaps he is warning us against being pushed off course. But either way, his message is: stick with it.

    Today, after a bit of a break, we’re returning to Jesus’ longest recorded sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. Can you remember how Jesus starts his sermon? What was his first WORD? Jesus’ first word is ‘blessed’. ‘Blessed’ means happy or fortunate. Jesus wants us to be blessed. He is going to ...read more
