Jesus Calms The Storm Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 3, 2022

We are to walk by faith not sight. Of course you can’t see the outcome of your storm. That would be sight. Why are you so afraid? You have been with Jesus for so long. Do you still have so little faith?

Are you going through one of life's storms? You need to know if anyone cares. Does Jesus care what happens?

Respond To Christ’s Call To Love Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 17, 2023

Just as the church at Ephesus had its opportunity to respond to the Lord's call, so do we. We too are called to be a shining light for Christ and share the love of God with others. Let us consider the lessons we learn from the church at Ephesus and seek to renew our love for Christ.

Alternative Creation Theory No. 1: Theistic Evolution

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 15, 2023

The first theory of creation apart from Scripture teaches that God used evolution as part of the creative process. Is this a viable explanation for our origins? What does science and the Bible have to say about this idea?

Our look at the first of the four alternative theories to the biblical account of creation begins with what I would refer to as a philosophical mix of oil and water. On the surface, this theory might sound feasible for those who worship at the altar of reason and compromise, but it falls short ...read more

Running Your Race

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 14, 2022

In this life, every single person is running a race. It’s either a race that will lead to an eternity with Jesus or it’s a race that will separate them from Jesus.

Whether we are sons of God on our way to an eternity with our Father, or whether we are sons of Adam ...read more
