    The world is full of questions. Some ask with curiosity, others with skepticism, and still others with outright hostility. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to be ready to respond. Our faith should not only be lived out but also defended with wisdom and grace.

    Go! And Be Ready to Defend Your Faith Introduction: A Call to Stand Firm The world is full of questions. Some ask with curiosity, others with skepticism, and still others with outright hostility.

     | 1,698 views

    If you were told today you are to make ready a people prepared for the Lord, would you accept the charge? Would you grasp the magnitude of the duty laid upon you?

    Luke 1:17. 17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. If you were told today you are to make ready a people prepared for the Lord, ...read more

    Waiting With Expectation: Living As Ready Servants

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 5, 2025
     | 393 views

    Jesus calls us to live with anticipation and readiness for His return. He reminds us that our Heavenly Father has prepared a wonderful inheritance for us—His kingdom—and that we should live in a state of vigilance and faithfulness.

    1. The Comfort of God's Pledge (Luke 12:32) Jesus begins with a word of reassurance: “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” This is a comforting reminder that our Heavenly Father’s desire is to bless us with His kingdom. His love is ...read more

    The impact of one person’s sin has an effect on the whole nation.

    Hidden Sins, Damaged Lives Joshua 7 Nobody likes problems. The fact is, though, that problems and struggles make us more dependent on God. They force us to turn to Him for help. When my finances are low, I pray for help. When my body is broken by illness or injury I ask the Lord for healing, or ...read more

    Sometimes we need to get alone, be still, and listen to God. Then other times we need to put ACTION to our prayers.

    If I asked you what your favorite part of the Sunday morning worship is, I would probably get answers like, “I like the song service, I like the special music, I like the prayer time, and so on. One pastor actually asked some of his congregation that question and one person said it was the prelude ...read more

    Life has a tendency to get us all BOGGED DOWN in our busyness and responsibilities. God has a plan. Let us lift each others arms to V-I-C-O-R-T-Y!

    A contrast, between a child who received Jesus just the way He offers and a wealthy adult who wanted to come to Jesus on his own terms.

    On With God's Work Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 15, 2022
     | 2,580 views

    When we have setbacks we need to hear and cherish the voices that cry out, get on with God’s work. What God’s people need in this situation is the voice of encouragement.

    You may remember the dramatic scene from the movie Chariots of Fire. It is when Eric Liddell Falls in a race, gets up and goes on to win the race. Now that is an inspiration. What about us as Christians? Do we stumble? Do we get tripped up and fall down? Of course we do. But we don’t lay there. We ...read more

    Condition Critical

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 1, 2023
     | 1,354 views

    The differences between us - you and me - and the brothers and sisters we find it so easy to criticize - shrinks to nothing at all when we look, instead, at the difference between ourselves and Jesus.

    A few years ago I had an interesting talk with my mother about the nature of friendship. At one point I made the comment that the only bottom line requirement I had for a friend was that I needed to know I’d be forgiven for my mistakes. Her response was telling. She said that I had unrealistically ...read more

    We must break down the walls of racial, cultural, and traditional division in the Lord’s Church.

    The following is an excerpt from a sermon preached by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1956, entitled: PAUL’S LETTER TO AMERICAN CHRISTIANS. In this sermon, Dr. King reads a fictitious letter written by himself, but he presents it as if it were a lost letter of the Apostle Paul to the ...read more

    Sin does not necessarily destroy our hopes of a victorious life nor does it disqualify us from receiving the best that God has for us..

    NAVIGATING THE NEW YEAR Getting Back on Course Three weeks ago, when I started this series on "Navigating the New Year", my purpose was to try and encourage you to get everything out of the year 2001 that the Lord had for you.

    Two ways to get our bearings and stay on course in the spiritual journey.

    When I was a child my mom and adoptive father bought a sailboat with fantasies of sailing around the world. But first we had to learn how to sail…which included learning how to navigate. One of my earliest memories was going out in our little sailboat from Marina Del Rey, and my adoptive dad ...read more

    God continues his creativity through us.

    GETTING CREATIVE WITH GOD If one were to ask an unbiased observer to name that institution in our society which clearly espouses creativity, we can be sure that he would not name our twentieth-century church. This is an indictment of how we Christians feel about the mandate God has given us for ...read more
