"become A Living Sacrifice.”

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 19, 2024

Habakkuk asked God why bad people succeed while good people do not. God's answer, they don't.

More Precious Than Gold

Contributed by Antonius Fu on May 8, 2023

By God's grace, we receive the faith to believe in Him. And by His protection, when our faith is tested, it produces the purity of life. A life with a new quality, a life into a living hope and an inheritance kept for us in Heaven, this is a new life that is more precious than gold.

What Is The Source Of Temptation?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023

The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

When Christians Try To Predict The Future Series
