God With Us: The Promises Beyond The Prophecy

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 15, 2021

Isaiah 7:14 is quoted in Matthew 1:23 as a verification of the prophecy concerning the virgin conception of the Lord Jesus. God is with us in the midst of our troubles, our victories, the affairs of humanity, the events of the last days and eternity (Hebrews 13:5).

The LORD always comes through even when it seems that we have run to the end of the road and see no way out of the predicament in which we find ourselves, both as individuals and as a nation. He has let us go our merry way throughout the course of history, with the consequences to follow. Our ...read more

Jacob-Finding True Love--And More Series

Jacob had traveled many miles from his home. He finally reached his uncle's land and in an almost "deja vu" moment, found his first true love!

Introduction: Jacob had stopped near Bethel (Luz), many miles away from his home and family. He had a dream, probably one of the strangest but most striking he would ever know.

The Stairway To Heaven

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

Have you ever noticed that? The Bible is not simple, and it's not man made. It's all interconnected. The first verse of the Old Testament says "in the beginning God created" it all. Of course we know from Genesis chapters 2 and 3 that things went wrong.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:1. Have you ever noticed that? The Bible is not simple, and it's not man made. It's all interconnected. The first verse of the Old ...read more

Pondering God’s Goodness

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 3, 2021

Quality worship experience is dependent upon biblical principles. This message examines some of those principles as stated in Psalm 65.

We take as our text today, Psalm 65. In the Bible God has given us a healthy spiritual balance of truth. Some portions of Scripture warn and correct. In Psalm 19:7-11 David celebrated this. He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

Sometimes, I Guess There Just Aren't Enough Rocks

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 6, 2021

In life, we may tear down relationships or we may build relationships. We use similar aspects to both destroy and build. Christians should be known as builders.

“Early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.” [1] In the movie Forrest Gump, one scene pictures Forrest and Jenny ...read more

Come And See Jesus (John 1:43-51) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

Nathaniel is open-minded enough to come see Jesus for himself, and overcomes his initial skepticism. This makes him the ideal Israelite. Also, Jesus is not a ladder. Angels come "to" Jesus, not "upon" him.

This week, starting in John 1:43, we find ourselves on day 4. Let's just start there: (43) On the next day, he (Jesus) wished to depart to Galilee, and he finds Philip, and Jesus says to him, "Follow me." Already in the gospel of John, we've seen a number of people take the ...read more

Recognizing God

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2015

Many a times we have wondered what would it be like if God showed up? In fact God is looking for that time alone with you so that you would voluntarily shut yourself out from the busyness of life and respond to His attention. Will we?

But if you promise something special to a child, they will not ever forget. Try to tell your child that you can’t go ...read more
