    When A Curse Is Made A Blessing

    All things become new in Christ; old things, bad things, horrible things all pass away. Jesus makes curses in our past blessings by drowning them in His precious blood!

    Quotes: “We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.” -Winston Churchill "It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." -Eleanor Roosevelt “God doesn't bless us just to make us happy; He blesses us to make us a blessing.” ― Warren W. Wiersbe Genesis ...read more

    Learning A Lot From Lot

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 26, 2013

     | 14,304 views

    Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

    Lot’s name is mentioned only 4 times in the New Testament. Three times in Luke 17 and once in 2 Peter 2:7. In both places the scriptures are talking about God’s judgment. Here are the places and contexts: Luke 17: 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in ...read more

    Being A Blessing

    Our call to go in this new direction was not unlike the call of Abraham in our Scripture today. God said, “Go!” Go where? “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing...

    Being a Blessing Genesis 12:1-3 When I arrived here more than six years ago as Pastor, I met with the congregation in small groups, and asked 3 simple questions: “What do you like about the church? What do you want to keep the same? What do you want to change?” Out of those ...read more

    We hear stories like that & shake our heads in dismay. It is hard to realize that there are millions living in such superstition & fear. You see, we have been taught that God is love – that He knows & loves each of us...

    “Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!” Just the word “Journey” sounds

    The Journey Genesis 12:1-3 Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will ...read more
